MM worked before, but recently it starts to hang when USB drive is connected. Unplug the drive solves the problem. But it also means USB can't be used. I updated MM to 2.8.0, removed the cache folder and changed to another USB drive. But it still freezes. Drives are formatted as FAT32.

It's been 2 hours trying to troubleshoot the problem. Would appreciate any help.

do you have a bunch of movies or something on there besides games?

[carboto]

got a bunch of JPEG photos, and some retro games (SNES). no movies, no mp3.

Gaia Manager can detect and launch games from the same drive.So I guess there is no problem with the drive.

Try to delete options.ini (if you have such)... Or check if your USB HDD has options_default.ini or options.ini saved in the root. Delete all options.ini/options_default.ini you have. May be it causes it to lock - other users reported the same issue and it turned out to be an old version of the options on their drives and inside multiMAN's USRDIR folder.
