Error opening "selected game".sfc/smc #1

Open Neverest opened 9 years ago

Neverest commented 9 years ago

Every time I try to open a game, it gives the "Error opening game.sfc/.smc" prompt. Same as beetle-gba.

Do you have the core snes9x available? Want to try and see if it works.

Are you sure game.libretro.bsnes-mercury is installed? I just noticed the windows build doesn't include it (fixed in https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/commit/175e5e4)

The first .sfc file you try to open fails because there are no compatible add-ons. game.libretro.beetle-bsnes is installed, but it can't load from .zips (see "Supports VFS" attribute in the core matrix). Fortunately, bSNES Mercury can load from zips.

The .smc and second .sfc files fail with the error:

The lines beginning with "AddOnLog: SNES (Beetle bSNES)" are from the libretro core. It look like it's saying it fails because the save files don't exist. Can you submit this error to game.libretro.beetle-bsnes issues?

Ah just noticed that there is a bsnes-mercury and a beetle-bsnes. Will post it on the appropriate place.

This issue can be closed right?

garbear commented 8 years ago

No, I'd rather leave it open until I fix the problem. Many cores were incompletely ported to the libretro API and only work under assumptions that RetroArch makes. When I return to working on game.libretro I'll load each misbahaving core into a debugger and figure out what's going wrong.

Case in point, I loaded BlueMSX in a debugger, and sure enough, there was a missing return false in the added libretro code (upstream PR), which was probably never checked by RetroArch.

Ah ok - I misinterpreted above comment then, sorry.
