I cannot launch exe files from EmulationStation if the folder name is too long, contains spaces, or other characters.
For example:
I have a folder ~/RetroPie/roms/pc/My Game (1989) [Action]
that contains an .exe
file
When I change the folder to ~/RetroPie/roms/pc/mygame
, the game launches just fine from EmulationStation, otherwise it won't run, it just returns to ES
Any ideas on how to get these to work? I have quite a few abandonware games with folders like this, so the only options I can think of are renaming all of them, or creating symbolic links with more DOS-friendly names (less than 8 characters long, no special characters, etc)
