Feature request
Allow directories whose names start with _ to be shown ONLY when browsing inside the configured ROM paths (romPath / secondary romPath) and their subdirectories.
Current behavior
In the file browser (DSi theme), directories with names starting with _ are always filtered out (e.g. _Homebrew, _Pokemon), even when "Show hidden" is enabled. This makes it impossible to use _ as a prefix to keep category folders sorted first.
Why this is useful
I organize categories using _ so they sort first alphabetically, similar to MiSTer FPGA conventions:
- sd:/roms/nds/_Homebrew
- sd:/roms/nds/_Pokemon
- sd:/roms/nds/_Apps
- sd:/roms/gba/_Pokemon
Proposed behavior
- Outside the configured ROM paths: keep hiding
_ directories (current behavior)
- Inside ms().romPath[0] and ms().romPath[1] (and any subdirectories): allow
_ directories to be listed
This should cover both flashcard (fat:/...) setups (DS Lite) and SD (sd:/...) setups (3DS).
Test setup
- Primary: Nintendo DS Lite + flashcard (fat:/...)
- Secondary: Nintendo 3DS + SD (sd:/...)
Notes
No special sorting change is requested; allowing _ directories should naturally place them before most regular names in the alphabetical ordering.
