Can't find my USB drive to add folders - Tony_2000 - 01-27-2017
Hi - I've been using Dolphin on and off for a while now on my Nvidia Shield TV (on a v4 build) and decided to update to a v5 revision (started with the latest one and tried a few others). I deleted any old Dolphin settings files I already had on the system and uninstalled my old build prior to installing a v5 revision. However, now that I've installed a newer build, I can't seem to be able to access my USB drive to add a ROM path.
I do the logical steps - Add Folder, Up One Level, but can't seem to go any further than the 'emulated' & 'self', just get a blank index. I was able to set a USB drive as a path in my old build, can anyone give me an idea of where I'm going wrong here (any help would be appreciated).
Cheers

IIRC you need to go another step up. /storage/emulated is read protected, that's why you see an empty directory.

When I go another step up from /storage/emulated, I only see a blank index, and this does not change no matter how many times I select 'Up One Level' - do I need to enable something on the Shield to allow Dolphin to see my USB drive? I could find it before, and I can see it on ES Explorer and other apps - it's where I store my Dolphin builds and ROM folders.

Thanks for your help - the actual issue has disappeared now...I think it may have been due to me trying to install Dolphin following a fresh OTA update (Android 7.0). I reset the Shield and re-installed Dolphin, and voila, I could once again access my USB drive (no more blank indexes) ?
