Fails to load files if save directory contains accented characters #589

Closed GitGub58 closed 1 year ago

GitGub58 commented 1 year ago

Overriding the savefile directory in the retroarch.cfg file with a directory path with accented files causes games to fail loading.

Example: savefile_directory = ":\sáves"

Same for absolute paths, like savefile_directory = "F:\sáves"

Shows the amiga error screen with the message "No disk present in device WHDLoad".

Renaming the directory makes the game load work normally.

This is a bit more complicated than anticipated, since I keep getting new curve balls once I sort some out..

Most of it works now, but some random files are not being read properly if the path has non-ascii chars.

Such as if launching LHAs (accessed directly) everything else seems to work except the loading of WHDLoad.prefs file which does exist just like every other file in the helper image. And if launching ZIPs (exctracts to TEMP which is under saves) it won't even accept the path as a drive. Does not compute at all, but I'll keep trying.
