Command Line Game Launching Broken #53

Open newoski opened 7 years ago

newoski commented 7 years ago

No longer able to launch games via command line. Instead, they load the game select menu. Tested 12-1-16 nightly.

And when adding a game using the "Scan for Content" feature, the Content get's detected and added to the Playlist, but launching the game fails with 

scummvm: Unrecognized game target 'myst-win-de'
Usage: scummvm [OPTIONS]... [GAME]

Try 'scummvm --help' for more options.

Replace myst-win-de with whatever you want, seems that all targets I tested are affected. I think that RetroArch is not adding the detected games to ScummVM's own .ini file containing all the detected game targets.

We should update some of the detection methods to clean it up. What games have you been testing with?

Side note: Myst isn't quite a part of ScummVM 1.8, there's an PR to update to 1.9, which will come with Myst-win-de.

I don't recall the full list, but I definitely tested bc (the black cauldron) multiple times as well as many others

newoski commented 7 years ago

(All the games I tested were part of the working set -- that is to say, none of the 1.9 new games)

newoski commented 7 years ago

Any progress on this?

Did some thinking on this over at https://github.com/libretro/scummvm/issues/65 ..... Thinking of just removing the "load game by directory" feature.
