Incorrect/corrupt save location when launching any DS software after any DSiWare (or vice-versa) #2432

Closed gnesthenic closed 2 weeks ago

gnesthenic commented 2 weeks ago

Game Console(s) used

Launch Method

Launched via SD card TWLMenu++ v27.5.0 Nintendo DSi firmware Ver 1.4J

Version used

nds-bootstrap Ver. Release v1.5.2

Game tested/used/applicable

Expected Behavior

When launching DS software after any other software, the savPath should be the filename of the DS software but with the .sav filetype instead of .nds: image

When launching DSiWare after any other software, the savPath should be the filename of the DSiWare but with the .pub filetype instead of .nds: image

Actual Behavior

When launching DS software after DSiWare, the savPath is seemingly corrupted: image This leads to existing save files not loading, and a fearful player thinking their progress was deleted.

When launching DSiWare after DS software, the savPath has an incorrect .sav filetype, and according to the log files may also be corrupted: image This leads to a crash.

Steps to reproduce

nds-bootstrap.ini

The strange-looking SAV_PATH value is copied verbatim and seems to be part of the problem.

Transferred the issue, as it's due to how TWLMenu++ writes the save path(s). Which theme are you using in TWLMenu++?

Which theme are you using in TWLMenu++?

Nintendo DSi theme. The screenshots above are from a low-quality video that I just took launching some software, I can post it if you like.

Which sorting method is set in TWLMenu++ Settings?

Recently played. I'm a big fan of this sorting method after the recent fix to the cursor location. I can post the contents of settings.ini if you like.

Nope, that's all I needed. Try switching the sort method back to the default setting.

The issue does not appear to exist when sorting by Alphabetical! Also maybe important: I have set DSiWare to be launched via nds-bootstrap in the TWLMenu++ settings because I like having the save location be separate from the rom location.
