Reading Available ROMs in Memory Card Takes too long

Game or games this happens in

All

What area of the game

Everytime I open PPSSPP it always take about 4 minutes to show all the games *(I have about 180 games in an high performance memory card) it takes 4 minutes to show all games data in the menu. Can something be done? Btw. Both tested wether it's ISO or CSO format nothing Changes it's really slow (display icons of games/data reading).

• Try changing graphics settings to determine if one causes the slowdown.
• Include logs or screenshots of issue.

We could of course cache the information, though that would add complexity. But what's the point of loading all the data? It loads progressively as you scroll the list. However, it might be that we can do better about prioritizing what's on screen at any point in time..
