I’ve read the article on playlist creation and accessing Lakka’s file system but I can’t seem to get my Cave Story playlist to launch Doukutsu.exe. My playlist file lines look like this: /storage/roms/Cave Story/Doukutsu.exe Cave Story /tmp/cores/nxengine_libretro.so Cave Story (NXEngine) DETECT Game.lpl
It just says File could not be loaded. Clicking on the Cave Story info tab freezes the inputs and I have to reset.
Are you making the playlist in Windows? I believe there is (or at least was; don’t know if it was fixed at some point) a problem with Windows-style formatting that could cause a playlist to not work properly.
Using Windows style end of lines was still causing Lakka playlist malfunctions as of June.
Notepad++ can convert between types if I recall.
How do I do that? I am new to coding. I typed out the lines in Notepad ++ but the playlist still won’t launch. What file type should I save as? Or am I leaving something out of the lines?
There are two messages in this thread that describe what you need for converting notepad++ to Unix mode once the playlist file is open: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8195839/choose-newline-character-in-notepad
You should see the word Unix along the bottom of the notepad++ window once the mode has been set correctly. Then all you need to do is save the playlist and use. Hopefully!
I love you.
Haha, but really thanks. I read that I had to distinguish between /n & /r/n endings but didn’t know how to do that. Thanks!
