Unable to load games from SD card on NexusOne. #43

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download game file to SD card 
2. Menu -> Open Game
3. See the 'Choose Game, Games Found on external media' window.
4. Be unable to go any further.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There's no way to select any game. 
(I've tried enter on the soft keyboard, and depressing the wheel.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I tried 0.7 from the market and 2 from the download site.

I'm running the shipping NexusOne firmware.
Please provide any additional information below.

If you would like me to help any further, please drop me a line.
Thanks.
T.

Thanks for the report.  I've got Twisty 2.0 running on a NexusOne as well, and 
can't 
reproduce the problem.

After scanning a while, you see the dialog box with a list of discovered games 
come 
up, right?  But you say you can't select a game.  But it works fine for me.  I 
can either 
just tap one of the radio-button choices with my finger, or scroll down the 
list with a 
trackball and push the trackball.  Can you be more specific about the problem 
you're 
having?

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

The dialogue box is too small to contain anything to select from.
i.e. The box contains only: "Choose Game Games found on external media:"

I see no list to scroll down.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but I don't have a way of taking a photo 
of the 
phone now, I will take a photo of the screen in this configuration in the 
morning and 
send it to you.

Thanks for an excellent product.
T.

If the box only has the title, and no list, that means no .z* files were found 
on the sd-
card.  Plain and simple.  The only bug here, I guess, is that it should pop up 
a different 
dialog box that says "no z-games found on sd-card".  :-)

I have the same issue with an HTC desire
I've got a load of .z80 files in a folder /sdcard/zx and even tried copying 
them directly into the route /sdcard/
These are extracted from the zx.zip file on ifdb.tads.org
Both 0.7 or 2.0 alpha have the same issue that they can't seem to find any 
files.

The .z80 files are from if-archive/games/spectrum/zx.zip - they're Spectrum 
games, not Z-Machine games, so Twisty won't play them.

I assume that Twisty tries to verify that a .zN file is a valid Z-Machine file 
before displaying it; perhaps it would be better (and quicker) if it displayed 
anything with a reasonable file extension, and popped up a 'not a Z-Machine 
game' dialog if you selected something that wasn't valid.

yes i had the same problem as you.As suss says in comment 3 should really be a 
different dialog..maybe the new update coming out will fix this problem.but 
after putting some z5 games on sd card i had no problem finding games and 
clicking which one i wanted...
