$PROGDIR variable replaced by empty string under MacOS #672

Open patrici0 opened 3 years ago

patrici0 commented 3 years ago

the $PROGDIR variable within my [emulator].cfg file is replaced by an empty string on my Mac setup. This applies to all cases I have used it for, such as to define the path where the emulator executable is, or the path to the menu-art (wheels, snap, etc.)

FYI - The $HOME variable does work as expected, replacing the variable with a string of my user's home directory path.

I have opened a forum thread on this issue at http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=3869.0 which shows more details on the issue and my config.
