Ongoing bugs with Pegasus for macOS ... #1037

Open jnbht opened 1 year ago

jnbht commented 1 year ago

The issue

  1. RetroArch can not be launched from Pegasus (Metadata) with neither of these commands

Does also not work in Terminal open /Applications/RetroArch.app -L "/Users/jnbht/Library/Application Support/RetroArch/cores/mesen_libretro.dylib" "/Volumes/Games/emu/nes/games/Super Mario Bros. (World).nes"

In Terminal this command works /Applications/RetroArch.app --args -L "/Users/jnbht/Library/Application Support/RetroArch/cores/mesen_libretro.dylib" "/Volumes/Games/emu/nes/games/Super Mario Bros. (World).nes"

  1. Videos are played with sound but not with picture. Stays black. The same Videos are playable in Finder or with any other app. Tested different formats and sources.

With the latest build of Pegasus, the video playback problem is fixed! Likewise, though, those Terminal prompts don't work very well for me. Instead, I use Script Editor in the Utilities folder to create tiny AppleScript .apps that do shell script commands and stay open until I've closed what I've launched. I've written a big explanation about that here, since I think it's an effective (if not kind of funny) method.
