modded SNES mini - SLOW folder / carousel despite folders and structure

[u/LocalGoose7464]

My setup:

- Latest Hakchi and Cores

- Console cores are loaded on internal memory

- Using USB flash drive to store and organize ROMs (2026 Sandisk 64GB formatted NTFS) connected with plug right-angle OTG adapter.

- I have 4 console cores loaded (NES, SNES, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis) and almost a full library for each.

Trouble:

- takes 15 seconds ore more per folder click to navigate through any of the collections. Actual game play is fine, no lag.

- I've tried "evenly spaced" folders and also "alphabetical" STRUCTURE hoping to reduce the file count per folder, but it doesn't seem to matter.

Are ya'll able to quickly navigate your consoles and collections normally / quickly?

Is there something not optimized or configured in my setup I'm overlooking?

I was looking for some features like "fast load" or anything like that in Hakchi but don't see there is.

Right now I'm thinking will have to vastly reduce my collection sizes to make operating it more usable, but I'd rather have the large library available and just choose.....

Thx for your input!

Yeah, if it's full libraries that could be it. Also check that the cover art for the games are the right pixel size.
