My games are not detected. How can I fix that?

If your games are compressed, try uncompressing them. If this doesn't work try putting ROMs into separate directories, one for each system with the following names: psp, fbneo, gba, gbc, gb, nes, snes, sms, genesis, n64, psx, atari2600, gg.

How does Lemuroid recognize my files?

Lemuroid scans your files and tries to match them with a local copy of the Libretro DB. A ROM is detected when at least one of the following is true:

  1. The CRC32 matches a db entry
  2. The game serial of a ".iso" file matches a db entry
  3. The file name matches a db entry
  4. The file extension uniquely identifies a platform (.nds, .n64, .gba, etc...)
  5. The file extension is supported by a platform (.iso, .bin, etc...) and the file is a direct child of a folder named as the platform (psp, fbneo, gba, gbc, gb, nes, snes, sms, genesis, n64, psx, atari2600, gg)

Single file zip archives are also supported.

Why aren't my compressed files detected?

Lemuroid only support zip compression and there should be only one file in the zip archive. Archives containing more than one file are skipped.

Why aren't my games detected during scanning?

This might happen because all the rules stated before do not apply. My suggestion is to split ROMs in separate folders named after each platform: psp, fbneo, gba, gbc, gb, nes, snes, sms, genesis, n64, psx, atari2600, gg.

Why aren't my FinalBurn Neo ROMs detected?

Lemuroid officially support only non-merged romsets which have the same CRC32 code as Libretro DB. If you still want to use the merged versions, copy them into the internal ROMs directory located at "/sdcard/Android/data/com.swordfish.lemuroid/files/roms/fbneo" .
