Got my Sente a few weeks back and continue to have problems adding games. At first, I tried to add the games directly to the directory, restarting, but none of them show up.

I tried adding them individually from the settings, using the ad local RMS option and a few worked but now they’ve completely stopped working. I select the game and it just continues to say scanning for games until it times out. There are times where it’ll say it’s successfully added the game, but I cannot access it in my library even after I’ve restarted multiple times.

PEREZAM i am in the same boat. Was able to add games last week. now slow to load AGS and cannot add roms at all. POLY needs to address these shortcomings.

I just received mine a few days ago. And I have yet to be able to add ROMs to this computer. I'm on software version 2.9.0. Andy thoughts?

Having the same issue. Sente says is 'Added XX number of games' but nothing shows up on the main screen even after a reboot. I've uninstalled, cleaned folders, removed temp files and what will happen is the first time I add ROM's it'll work (E.g. I add 4 SNES ROMS). The UI updates and shows the games. Got back to add more (E.g. 4 x Genesis) and while the system says it added them nothing shows up after multiple restarts and reboots.

Anyone found a fix for this yet. Just set up my Sente this past weekend (12/14)

Had similar issues when first setting up a few weeks ago. Since then have had the most success by dropping roms
one at a time into their respective games directory and then doing a Scan for Games, one title at a time, instead of importing them with Add Games. Sometimes it doesn't work on the fist try, sometimes it doesn't work at all, but most of the time it has worked and am up to 389 working titles now, one by one.

I have never used the Add Game option. I drop the roms in the appropriate folder then launch Polycade and scan.

    eclipse31satx Yeah I've tried dropping them in folders and the scanning looks like it's doing something, then nothing on UI.

    I think tonight its time for a full factory reset and see if that solves it. Bit of pain in the arse

    How many games are you adding? I tried scanning for 10 mame roms I added once and that took a bit to scan. Now I do at most 4-5. Scanning is about 1-2 min.

      eclipse31satx Immediately after install I do 4-5 SNES ROMS. Thoses added fine. Anything I try to add after that no matter if it is one or many roms - they don't show up.
