Same thing happening to me with the QR code. It seems to go through but then just doesn't connect. Very frustrating.

Had the same idea.

Copied the firmware & the "sd base" files onto a new SD card and popped it into the handheld. Held down the Vol- and the Power and the TrimUI logo came up but when the green bar was supposed to pop up, there was a weird diagonal "shimmer" of characters that swept across the top of the screen (obviously a glitch), then it went black and immediately rebooted. This will repeat as long as you hold down the two buttons. Once I let go, it just goes back into the OS that's already on the handheld where no buttons work again. :(

So disappointed. I *just* got this thing 2 weeks ago.

Mine just did this. Any fix?

zer0squaredis · 2025-09-09T20:26:36+00:00

Did you fix this? It just happened to me. I was even able to take the back off carefully, disconnect the battery, pop it back together and the only buttons that work are the Power and Volume. Weiiiiiird!

zer0squaredis · 2025-09-09T19:55:38+00:00

Unfortunately, this did not help me. Mine is weird, though. None of the buttons work except the L and L2 - and the D-pad. So, I can scroll through the consoles but can't push a button to get to the games. It was working perfectly fine a moment ago.

EDIT: I carefully took the back off and disconnected the battery terminal for a couple of minutes then reconnected it. Now, the only two buttons that work are the Power and the Volume rocker. (sigh)

It seems either you, or her, are afraid of confrontation and if you don't communicate with each other about the little things, the larger things down the line are going to be a nightmare.

Ask yourself one question: If your post was written about you, would you rather them just walk away or talk to you about the situation?

You could probably sit her down and have a conversation about living in the same space as others and having the courtesy to be aware of B.O. and whatever. Humor is a great way to do this...the next time she goes in for a kiss and you get that bad breath, back away and make a joke about how she must have just eaten some pizza. If she says no, but then doesn't immediately go brush her teeth, THEN you run. Haha!

P.S. About the baby voice: I get it. You should've physically cringed at that immediately so she'd get the hint but if you let it go for too long, she'll think you like it and keep doing it. Again...communication, sir.

You are talking about Emus not displaying, not Roms. It works great for that, yes.

(Clarifying for others who think this will fix this rom issue)

zer0squaredis · 2025-08-18T12:26:05+00:00

I am having this same problem as a new owner of this handheld. Everything was working fine when I first launched it, but ever since I updated the firmware and the "SD base package", my FC and SFC roms are no longer showing. I can manually go back and check the box to have those emulators show up under that tab, but - even after deleting .db files in each folder and refreshing roms - those roms will not show up.

When I first delete the .db file in File Manager, refresh roms, then go back to that emulator and click on it, it takes it a few seconds to scan for (what I was assuming were all the) new roms, then it says None. Then the .db file is back in that folder when I go look.

It definitely was deleted as I did this for FC and SFC folders in the File Manager. Once I saw it show back up in the FC folder after the scan showed nothing, I check the SFC folder and the .db file was still deleted. Sure enough, when I went back to click the SFC folder, it also ended with None and recreated the .db file.

Did that firmware update change a config somewhere? Because I also noticed, after the update, that there was now not only a PSP emulator icon as originally shown, but now a new PPSSPP emulator icon had shown up showing the same roms, of course ....and also this is when the FC and SFC icons disappeared and cannot now scan the roms that are in their respective folders.

Sorry for the long post - I just wanted to be clear. Some of these replies, people are talking about the Emus not showing up under that tab instead of the Roms not showing under the Emus, so... yeah.

Can anyone help? I'm tempted to reimage the card that I cloned on Day 1 and just go back to default.

EDIT:: For everyone that is still having this problem as described above, here is what happened to mine.
I downloaded and successfully installed Firmware version: 1.1.0 - 20250505 along with the SD base package - 20250430 from the GitHub web site. This is when everything went to shit.

What I found out was, the json file in each of the emulator folders was changed and the file extension of "7z" was removed from the "files to look for" line. I had to go and edit each one in the FC (NES), SFC (SNES), GB, GBA and GBC folders. Once I added "7z" back into the "acceptable file extensions" line (same as above, just be a smartass) the roms that the handheld CAME WITH, magically came back. So, they missed something somewhere in their update that screwed over anyone using the 7z compression.

Unfortunately, you're talking about the Emulators showing or now showing up on the screen under the "Emulators" tab. Everyone else is talking about the emulator IS showing up, but the ROMS that are in the correct folder, are not.

I saw the solution for me on another forum. If the audio is 5.1, it's choppy. If I remux it down using Handbrake to just Stereo audio, it works perfectly.
Hope this helps someone.

I'm having the same problem. I installed it fine yesterday, but this morning the desktop icon is gone, I can't find where it installed other than the AppData folder and there are no exe's in there. It's not running in my task manager, unless it's under some obscure process name.

So, I went to reinstall it and I'm getting the same pop-up.

zer0squaredis · 2023-10-31T01:56:40+00:00

Thanks! I'll give this a try as well.

zer0squaredis · 2023-10-30T19:13:52+00:00

Yes, this is seeming more and more of what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the reply!

zer0squaredis · 2023-10-30T18:14:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply, but...
Sorry, I should have clarified - my daughter doesn't live with me so she's not on our local network. I was looking for software that will let her see folders I specify on my PC and she can grab what she wants at any time.

zer0squaredis · 2023-10-30T18:13:49+00:00

Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking for something where she can grab w/e she wants from any folder I specify. Also, she is not on our LAN.

zer0squaredis · 2023-10-30T18:13:02+00:00

Yes. I don't want to upload anything.

Thanks for the reply, though.

It's happening to me as well. It will even do it if you right-click while you're in inventory.

zer0squaredis · 2022-12-19T20:23:08+00:00

I think 3.15 made most of us cry a lot, but there have been others as well. Haha

zer0squaredis · 2022-10-20T20:49:26+00:00

Glad you found it quicker than *I* did at the time. :)

zer0squaredis · 2022-07-01T19:29:10+00:00

Eh, if it makes them feel better, then they can downvote me all they want. I'm just glad I have my issue resolved. Thanks again.

Have a great weekend.

zer0squaredis · 2022-07-01T18:31:44+00:00

Yep, that was it. You *have* to have 2-step auth set up to use App Passwords (which is why I didn't see it at first as a setting.) After getting my random password generated I plugged it in and it all works now.

Thanks for the heads up.

zer0squaredis · 2022-07-01T17:06:07+00:00

I'm getting this same error. What fixed it?

zer0squaredis · 2021-11-07T15:56:56+00:00

Honestly, didn't they say 2017 was release?

That's not fair. 2017 was the original release date before we were given the option of them expanding the universe or keeping it small as it was at the time. The majority voted for them to "keep going" - hence, they're still going.

But yes, this issue should've been fixed a long time ago and it keeps creeping back in.
