Can't Navigate To Root Directory

Post by klee6150 »

I am very new at this so please don't flame.
On the screen "Select directory with game data" it has a "/" and the list under that starts with "applications". The "Go up" button does not work.
I put my game files under var/root.
Is there something I am not doing correctly?
I have searched and can not find an answer to this problem.
Thanks

No worries, klee! You're just not used to the UNIX file system :)

The reason you can't "go up" is because "/" is the highest level folder there is. It's where everything starts. It's like C:\ on your windows computer, and there are no other drives to switch to. When you're in /, you should see a /var folder, and once you're in there you should see a /root folder -- you'll have to slide the scrollbars to get there, which is a little bit tough at this point until we get a new interface all put together. But when you hit the right spot, the scrollbar will come down and the folder you want will be there.

That should sort things out for you!

TomFrost,

Thanks for youe response.
I was able to get down to /var. I tap it and it highlights green. If I tap it nothing happens. If I tap choose nothing happens or it goes to the dialog box that says it can't find and games.
What now?

Thanks

double tab the folder.
It's a bit hard in the beginning... keep double tapping until it opens :)
