Japanese File Name Support? #5448

Closed MiYakuGaming closed 7 years ago

MiYakuGaming commented 7 years ago

I'm running Windows 10, 64 bit edition and using Japanese file names in the actual games I am emulating. I tested by renaming a file with Kanji and Kana in it to something like 'test.fds' and it read the file. When I tested a game with English in the file name, it loaded the game fine, but in actual Japanese characters, it didn't.

Will there be support for non Latin / English directory and file name character support?

FDS means Famicom Disk System.

I am using 1.6.7, and when I load a file with Japanese characters in it, it tells me it cannot load the file. Also, my Laptop is in Japanese and supports the character set. I'm not Japanese myself, but I am studying it.

That's what I get.

I am about to submit a PR to fix this, but closing this issue now since it is a duplicate anyway.

This update works great! :D

The only problem I found, compared to the Android port, is loading Japanese file-paths appear to be not working. In the case of Android, it worked with Japanese file-paths, but on Windows 10, it doesn't.

I tested loading a path with English only and it works, but folder paths with Japanese characters and Kanji in it makes it fail to load the content.

Am I doing something wrong?
