Opening a .smc file from a mapped network folder does not launch the game. #46

If I add an external mapped folder to kodi as source for SNES files these do not open in all bSNES variants (accuray, performance, etc...)

This is a limitation in the bSNES variants - they need to have "VFS support", a table of which you can see here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Game_add-ons

Adding VFS support is done by modifying the emulator code and can be a labor-intensive process, which is why not all cores support VFS. If a core doesn't support VFS, there's nothing Kodi can do, the only option is to roll up your sleeves, dive in and fix the emulator's code.
