Confusion on updating launchers for favorites #233

Open chrisc25 opened 2 years ago

Hi Zach

I can swear by the flying the Spaghetti Monster I have followed your Wiki but I am stumped. I am running Ubuntu and Kodi 19.3; I have installed IAGL. Now I have installed retroarch both genesis and snes games I have tried run (bios installed and all cores for all emulators) (I added SNES and Genesis roms via the retroarch scanner).

I installed IAGL from your repo, followed your wiki for a external setup. In Configure - I have Linux enabled and the paths:

APP: /usr/bin/retroarch Config: /home/chris/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg

In the 4th part of your walkthrough - I tried setting up "Select Launcher" on my favourites menu External Launch Command It updates and clears cache, then presents me lots of retro arch (I assume these are the cores) If I select Retroarch Sega - GG/MS/MD/CD/32X (PicoDrive)

Next I load the Mega Drive Sonic, and I get: "This game isn't compatible with any available emulators"

Same story with Super Mario World and the retroarch Snex 9X current

Please can you help or suggest what I need to do next?

Sorry I have realised what I have done, they work if you select the launcher from the repository list things,

I had a favourites menu called Sega childhood favourites and that wasn't allowing me to change the core, using the Select Launcher.

I'm going to leave this open for you to consider if its a bug (select launcher on favourites which doesn't seem to work), or Ive not understood something.

But wow awesome work!!

I think i understand. Favorites are more or less hyperlinks to games in other lists, so the change ultimately has to be made in the parent game list. I agree i should make a message pop up that says something to the effect of "You need to change the launcher in the original list", or something along those lines.
