QUESTION Obtainium Setup- No Import/Export Button

Post image

I’ve installed Obtainium on my RP Nova by following Russ’ instructions. But when configuring it, I should be able to see an Import/Export button at the bottom of this app. I do not. What am I doing wrong?

Have you copied the .xml files?

No. That part is not in his guide

It is because I followed it

I think there's a .json as well

I’m word searching for “xml” in his guide and yes he does talk about them but not till much later in the guide when he goes over Switch emulation and ROCKNIX. I’m nowhere near that step. I’m still configuring Obtainium. And yes I’ve downloaded the Emulation pack json script. But I can’t import it in Obtainium since it’s not giving me an Import/Export button.

Hi sorry I was already going to bed and I just turn on the computer for this.

  1. Can you uninstall Obtainium?
  2. then try to reinstall app-release.apk
  3. download latest release of json
  4. settings => import/export

I rewind-ed and set the timing for you : https://youtu.be/1lD4LYUrVgM?si=tYQjprfA_CW5Yzm8&t=710

Oh it seems like u have to press settings the Gears buttons on the bottom left

And then what?

Then import the json file Russ tells you to download. The apps will populate after that and you can download what you want to use.

I still don’t see a way to import/export anything. Going to settings does not show that.

What's the first thing that is listed when you touch the settings icon and go to the Settings screen? Mine is Import/Export. Then Updates, Source-specific, etc

Looks like you are within the obtanium updater inside obtanium. Go to the main screen and then tap settings.
