[bug]: Partitions with similar names issue #98

Open wolfcarcass opened 1 week ago

wolfcarcass commented 1 week ago

Issue

the problem was Games with long titles in which 2 or more discs/games have the same beginning 17 characters in the title i.e. Shadow Hearts 2 - Covenant [Disc 1] && Shadow Hearts 2 - Covenant [Disc 2]

expected behaviour

I expected... There wasn't necessarily an issue with the program itself, but rather the naming convention causing issues elsewhere. When the games are created as partitions on the PS2 hard drive, only the first 17 characters are visible. This causes OPL and applications accessing these partitions to get confused and not recognize 1 or more of the partitions with similar name (first 17 chars). In order to get around this, the naming convention in the database for these games should be updated as follows: [Disc 1] Shadow Hearts 2 - Covenant && [Disc 2] Shadow Hearts 2 - Covenant

Program version

version 3.6.0 revision 1

There is no planned solution to this, partition name is 32bytes max

Change the name on the first 17 chars

Another example: Capcom Classics Collection Vol.1 && Capcom Classics Collection Vol.2

should be renamed as: Vol.1, Capcom Classics Collection && Vol.2, Capcom Classics Collection
