Cannot launch games using <setname> in mgl #8

Closed RGarciaLago closed 9 months ago

RGarciaLago commented 9 months ago

Using an mgl file to launch games presents no issues; core then game are launched as expected. However, when utilizing <setname> within an mgl, it only launches the core and not the game. Changing the value of delay or index does not resolve the issue.

Below is an example of an mgl with a <setname> set with this core:

<mistergamedescription>
    <rbf>_Console/MegaDrive</rbf>
    <setname>MegaDrive_LightGun</setname>
    <file delay="1" type="f" index="0" path="../../../../media/fat/games/MegaDrive/Light-gun/Body Count.md"/>
</mistergamedescription>

must be index="1"

RGarciaLago commented 9 months ago

Unfortunately setting index="1" doesn't resolve the issue.

Although incorrect, having index=0 works fine for launching games through mgl in this core if you're curious why I had set that way.

sorgelig commented 9 months ago

It works: 1) you have to use index="1" for MD roms 2) Folder for new setname should exist, otherwise relative path will fail.

i've added support for absolute paths in MGL. Should be available in unstable build of Main.
