Title: Adding games with similar file names to the Games and Applications menu
Post by: Mousey on July 29, 2024, 05:56:22 PM
As with my last post about the USB hub, this is more a FYI in case it's helpful to anyone else.

I added Cannon Fodder WHDLoad file - "CannonFodder_v2.0_0860.lha" to the Games and Applications menu.  I loaded it and added a screenshot to the disk.

I then added Cannon Fodder 2 WHDLoad file - "CannonFodder2_v1.12_0104.lha".  However, instead of creating a new disk, it duplicated the Cannon Fodder entry, complete with the screenshot I took.

Upon investigation, it appears that it only looks at the first 11 characters when adding a game, so it just saw "CannonFodde" for both games and got confused.

This was easily fixed.  I deleted both games, renamed the Cannon Fodder 2 file to something different and added them again.  But this is just a heads up, it's not a big issue.  :)

It generates a 'sanitised' directory name fro the ADF filename, which might end up the same if the filenames are very similar, not sure why it duplicated your directory though, unless it's a test feature I forgot about LOL

This has now been fixed.
