Loading Games from Playlist #71

Open MiniSpoon opened 7 years ago

MiniSpoon commented 7 years ago

Games do not load properly from a playlist. The ScummVM core will launch, and give the feedback "Error running game: Game data not found". ScummVM will then present the main menu (green/black screen). From here, games can be manually loaded using the "Add game..." selection, and "Start". The version I'm using is from Lakka 2.1 RC1. I've also tried Win x64 Retroarch 1.6.0 with the latest build from the core downloader, with the same results.

Here is my playlist file ScummVM.lpl: /storage/roms/SCUMMVM/samnmax.scummvm Sam & Max Hit the Road DETECT DETECT 5B280160|crc ScummVM.lpl /storage/roms/SCUMMVM/tentacle.scummvm Day of the Tentacle DETECT DETECT 97815F07|crc ScummVM.lpl /storage/roms/SCUMMVM/atlantis.scummvm Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis DETECT DETECT 4F12AA7C|crc ScummVM.lpl

Here is my directory structure: /storage/roms/SCUMMVM/ samnmax.scummvm tentacle.scummvm atlantis.scummvm /storage/roms/SCUMMVM/samnmax/ /storage/roms/SCUMMVM/tentacle/ /storage/roms/SCUMMVM/atlantis/

This seems to be the same as the issue reported here:

Made some fixes over at https://github.com/libretro/scummvm/pull/72 . Move the .scummvm files into your game directories.

Question @robloach is it possible to include the game folder path in the .scummvm file to allow all .scummvm files to be managed in one directory?

RobLoach commented 6 years ago

That would be really cool. Think we'd need to do some fancy things in RetroArch though, to fix it so that it builds a custom playlist based on the file extension.

Glad you like it :)

If it does make it to commits some time please bear in Mind I come at this as an external launcher user.... Android specifically if that makes a difference to how the playlist stuff works. Being able to launch the scummvm files from one folder would play nice on my setup.

It's a nice core to use already and having easy launching from playlists and external would make the system more accessible to scummvm noobs like me.

Actually if it happens I could update your .scummvm file set to include the work "replace" or something then a quick find in files with Notepadd++ could add your own custom path maybe.
