Visual Boy Advance's emulator executable cannot be found #3752

Closed CyberBCoding closed 1 month ago

CyberBCoding commented 1 month ago

Bug Description

Whenever I wanna play my game, it just wouldn't open even though I've put the executable in a standalone folder of it's own, even with a shortcut of it. I would prefer to not change to RetroArch or any other similar applications because I prefer the simplicity of VisualBoyAdvance

To Reproduce

Put VisualBoyAdvance-M into a standalone folder with it's rom in another folder. Configure the emulator so it detects the standalone folder for the emulator Try and play the rom with the configured emulator Get error message

I found the issue, turns out if you renamed your emulator to anything else other than the original, it will not work with Playnite, so you need to go properties, then details. Check for original name, copy it and rename your emulator into the original name
