"Game Already Exists" error upon opening app

Closed this issue 11 years ago · 8 comments

I keep getting a "Game Already Exists" error when I open GBA4iOS. I don't know why, because I only have one copy of each game.

I would check your root file via iFile or iExplorer to make sure only one copy exists.

I'd suggest reinstalling the app and copying your ROMs back over (and re-enable Dropbox Sync to get your saves back). Fairly certain this is due to how I previously was checking for ROMs

I checked my folder in iFile, there's only one copy of each game. And I tried deleting and reinstalling the app, and then putting back the ROMs, but it doesn't work.

Drag them in one by one to see which one is the error?

Are you dragging in a .zip file, or the original ROM file?

I'm dragging in mostly .zip files, sometimes the .gba/.gbc, and all the roms give the error.

I'm not getting the error anymore with the GM, great work Mr. Testut!
