ArkOS no longer supporting subfolders, M8C not working after update

[Bigpeeet]

Hi Jason,
I've been on an extended adventure getting M8 headless to work on my RG351V. After a lengthy process troubleshooting a number of issues with ArkOS and wifi connection, (thanks Christian, you've been awesome), I managed to get M8 headless working.

Unfortunately I experienced glitchy screen refresh and very glitchy sound, so once again after a lengthy process of troubleshooting, have updated ArkOS, now to find that subfolders are no longer supported, so adding the M8 folder into ports will no longer work.

I tried removing all subfolders and using a single directory for all files, with the exception of the _m8c folder and have seen the config and setup files appear under the ports menu. Setup seems to be doing something, but after restart the M8 will not run in any mode.

I feel like I'm chasing rainbows here, any ideas about how I can get this working?

Thanks in advance

The next ArkOS update with allow the ability to scan the ports folder on boot again so projects like this are not impacted. It will drop sometime in early to mid December. Stay tuned.

Did this get fixed in the end? I've updated to latest release today and still see the same issue. Not sure if I'm doing something silly.

BTW thanks for ArkOS 👍.

Did you enable the start>ui settings>scan ports folder in boot. settings the restart emulationstation?

Thanks. This was it exactly. Never knew this was an option.
