InfoGB not showing all roms

[windrider42]

dlanor, quite a few months ago I burned this to a DVD and boot it with ESR, but I only checked to make sure it worked.

Anyway the other day I went to play this and I can only see roms inside the ROM folder up to the letter "k"

Was there a limit on how many roms can be inside the folder?

Thanks

Yes, of course there is some limit, and assuming that you are speaking of the version I revised (and not the one by Kaylakaze) this is given by the size of some arrays defined in "ps2romselect.c", as follows:

static mcTable mcDir[ARRAY_ENTRIES] __attribute__((aligned(64)));
struct TocEntry myTocEntries[ARRAY_ENTRIES] __attribute__((aligned(64)));

Here the ARRAY_ENTRIES constant sets the maximum number of files per folder, and this is defined earlier in the same file as being:

#define ARRAY_ENTRIES 220

So 220 is the total number of entries that a directory list can contain. When you want more games than that you will need to use several folders. This is also far more convenient IMO, especially if you use different folders for different categories of games, making it much easier to find what you want quickly.

I've been thinking of making a more proper browser for both InfoGB and InfoNES, but I never find myself with so little to do that theirs is the highest priority to choose from. Thus it hasn't happened so far...

Yes I am using your revison , "rev 4" I believe.

Ok I was wondering that, just wanted to confirm before I went and compiled another ISO.

I will add another folder or so to put the rest of the "roms" and just name it ROMS2 or something, I guess it doesn't matter what the name of the "folder" is.

The browser is fine, no worries. At least it works.

Good. That is my latest release, and it fixes some problems with the older ones.
(Btw: I just discovered that I still had "rev 2" on one of my MCs :lol:)

That's right. Any name will do.

I wouldn't call it 'fine' myself, but it does work (sort of), which is why I haven't forced myself to do something about it yet.

Ok I did just that, made two more Folders and compiled a new ISO

I don't use my USB hdd anymore, so put it on the IDE hdd and it works great.
It also worked great with ffgriever's IGR, went right back to "HDLOADER"

It does work with ESR r9b also.

Yes at least it does work..

Thanks for your help
