Hi there !

We are developing an app for MuOS and others CFW, there will certainly be a communication on the Applications topic.

But for now, I want to know if it’s possible to see where the user have set the storage for the differents things:

  • themes: for app icons to put
  • roms: to know where to find/store the content
  • catalog: for rom art images
  • bios: well, for bios

Thanks in advance !

Sounds to me like an application in development for nefarious purposes. We don’t offer support for that. Please see the following:

Just read my post from yesterday, and yes we can assume that but it’s not the case. Sorry for the confusion.

The app is for downloading bios and roms from a user RomM instance. Not some kind of obscure website, just the one managed by the current user.

(Sorry for my bad english, not a native)

I would highly recommend looking at the current RomM sync tool.

However if you are venturing on your own application you can generally find all of the paths within /run/muos/storage except for content. Content is held within its own mount directories within /mount where needed.

That’s funny because I’m talking about grout :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: , I’m contributing to it as a collaborator on this project

And thank you for the help !
