I'm trying to run an app (Einstein, the Apple Newton emulator) and it is looking for the ROM image in /sdcard/Download/Einstein, but my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ displays the sdcard path as /storage/6E8B-161E.

Is there a way to fix this?

    /sdcard is only named this way for historical reasons. AFAIR before Android 4.x the sdcard was mounted there (at that time an sd-card was mandatory). Later phones had so much flash storage that sdcard was changed to point to your internal flash, then named shared storage. The path /storage/6E8B-161E is your real sd-card. Thus the Newton emulator is not searching on your sd-card but on your shared storage. That can only be changed by modifying the app. Contact the app developer. Commented Sep 26, 2024 at 9:03
  • As Robert has mentioned, nowadays, /sdcard refers to internal storage instead. Perhaps you could try placing the ROM file there? Commented Sep 26, 2024 at 15:34
  • I looked around and /sdcard actually does point to the card. The reason I thought that it didn't is that termius and "terminal emulator" show the directories but no files. I used Google "files" app and can confirm the files are there on the card. Is there some permission issue that doesn't let it see them? Commented Sep 27, 2024 at 10:18
