Not64 - ROMs start with "._" and are invalid

[frank socket]

just finished copying over the Nintendo 64 ROM set to my SD card. in Not64, each rom has a duplicate which begins with ._ and is invalid. when i plug the SD card into my computer, though, the ._ ROMs do not appear. is there a way to delete these duplicates? thanks!

curious, are you using macos

[frank socket]

yes

[chilly wraith]

this goofster os i swear
open a terminal in the folder with said roms and run rm -f ._* or something i don't know lmao

[frank socket]

would something like rm -rf ._* work if i ran it in the root of the sd card instead?

that way it gets the bad roms and other files

[chilly wraith]

not sure, i only ever use rm -rf to entirely remove a folder, not really specific files in every corner

[frank socket]

-rf just performs the operation recursively

so it scans the current directory and subdirectories

[chilly wraith]

well go on i guess

[frank socket]

will try it, thanks
