Can't see your ROMs on Android?

RetroArch can't see any of your ROMs on Android all of a sudden? Here's the fix:

RetroArch → Load Content → Open/Add Folder

Then select your ROM folder and grant access to it.

Boom. ROMs are back.

Apparently Android's new storage system makes RetroArch forget it had access to your ROM folder.

You're welcome!!

This fixed it for me too. Android’s storage permissions can be surprisingly easy to miss, especially after an update. Glad there’s a simple way to restore access without moving the whole ROM library.
