Cannot access any folders at all when I tap on 'load new game'

Hi.

I've tried asking something similar on Reddit but I wasn't able to resolve this there.

When I tap on 'load new game' nothing shows up. Below is what I see.

Tapping on that folder with the 2 dots on it does nothing, btw. I've tried to create a profile as one Redditor recommended but that hasn't changed anything. I does let me choose which directory to use but a) it only let me chooses folders within /storage/emulated/0/ and all my ROMs are on my SD card and b) even if I choose a different directory, when I tap on 'load new game' I still have no options to choose from (i.e. it's the same screen as the above pic).

Here are the permissions I've given it https://imgur.com/a/kA8PuuH

I don't know for sure if it's just a problem with Drastic because I have been having similar trouble with one other app BUT my other emulator, Pizza Boy, has had no trouble accessing the files on my SD card.

I haven't seen a solution on the FAQ and I haven't found anything online (that I could find, anyways). Any help?

Thanks

I believe it has something to do with storage permisssions in newer versions of Android. In my case at least, I didn't have this issue before I updated to Android 11..

Hopefully this is fixable somehow but in the meantime I've resorted to moving all my ROMs to the internal memory.
