    Hi Guys,
    I have all my xbox games in the GAMES folder, my arcade games in the content folder, and homebrew in the app folder. But after setting up the paths in FSD and starting a manual scan it doesnt seem to display them under the arcade tab (for example).

    I have tried removing and re-adding the paths, changing the scan dept, and creating seperate paths for each content ie. arcade, xbox games, xbox originals, etc. They are all stored on my internal hard drive. Its kinda wierd because take the arcade games for instance, only peggle shows up but if i go back to the xbox dashboard i can actually see all the games displayed under the "games" tab. The same applies to the homebrew tab, only some of the homebrew appears here.

    Ive seen a few posts on different sites but no answers or suggestions on how to fix this. If someone could make some suggestions or has seen this before id appreciate a post..

    Thanks

    I put it all in the Content/00000000000000 folder (except homebrew) and retained the MediaID structure (e.g. Content/00000000000000/FE24142DB). Then to get FSD to work I just added the Content/00000000000000 folder. It got it all right first time.

    Try clearing the paths, rebooting and ensuring you're on the HDD, not the MU path.

    Remove all paths, remove FSD. Start from scratch. :)

    I'm very new to this FSD stuff so don't know a huge amount about it but I had a similar issue of games not appearing in their tab. To fix it I had to go into File Manager, browse to the game directory and launch the game via it's default.xex or whatever file. Once I did that one time it appears in it's tab from then on. Might be worth trying this before doing a wipe and re-install, if anyone has the problem in the future.
