XBMC wont find games on F or G drive

Post by cw3323 »

Hi, I have searched and googled this problem and cannot find a solution. I would think this would be a common problem so I am surprised I couldn't find a solution online somewhere. :?

I recently updated my dashboard to XBMC 3.3.3 (saved it on E drive) and used xbox shortcut maker to get it to boot straight to XBMC. I have some of my Xbox games saved onto my F drive however when I go into 'games' in XBMC they are not listed. I'm guessing this is because XBMC is looking for them in E drive where XBMC is installed.

Is there a way to get XBMC to see these games on F drive as well as other files/programs like emulators on other drives? I cant save the games onto E drive due to lack of space.

@cw3323
Have you tried adding a "source" called "Games" when you go into Programs section, and in there add all locations where you have your games? (E:\Games, F:\Games etc - a source should be able to hold multiple locations and merge them on view).

I believe that's how the "Games" section will know where your games are, through the above source.

Thankyou very much for the replies and ultimately the solution to the problem. It is all fixed now, I just needed to add the sources.

My apologies for asking something that has been asked before, I spent hours looking for the information.
