Hello Dmanlfc, I read the problem here...which is Bam: an add-on to FTP under Windows....
Given the numerous bugs about win that I have encountered (or seen)
In fact: everything revolves around win and its functionalities within Batocera itself, and I remain convinced that it is only because the core of win acts with respect to a shortcut (which we see by looking at the files in proton for example). I am sure that if we included win without having to have shortcuts: we would no longer have any problems like those mentioned above....
(in the same way as a game that you install under Windows: you get real paths and not automatic shortcuts....which is what you get even though you do it under "win").
tell me what you think about it

You seem confused - the issue here has nothing to do with FTP

Issue description
Not an issue, more of a potential fix. I do not know if this fix has been found anywhere, as I cannot find it. I was having a terrible time launching bam tables in my wine emulator, on arch linux. I know its not batocera. I like your project though and use it on another machine. Anyway fiddling around with the usual wsh57, oleaut32, vbrun6, I could load tables regular but not with bam. I noticed an error that said async msvcr120.dll. I marked that dll as native but not built in in winetricks. Bam works. Hopefully this helps.
Expected result
FPT loads fine in Future pinball, even with Bam.
Reproduction steps
Load a table without dll and winetricks fix mentioned above, table crashes.
Logs and data
As far as I understand Bam has been an issue in Batocera and linux in general for a very long time. I am using the latest build as of Jan 6th 2024, with the latest wine-ge build. I didn't know if this was relevant to you or not, but I thought I would try.
