Dreamcast Icons (Black Square)

Libretro Lakka
#1

I’ve found a few threads related to black icons appearing on the XMB, but none of them seemed to assist with my particular issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have manually created a Dreamcast playlist (after scanning the Dreamcast ROMS folder prior to knowing this would not work). I now have two icons in the XMB for the Dreamcast. One is the proper Dreamcast icon and has the playlist entries. The other is a black square icon that has no playlist entries. The black icon disappears if I delete the Dreamcast playlist, but so does the actual Dreamcast icon along with the games.

Here are the contents of my playlists folder: FB Alpha - Arcade Games.lpl Nintendo - Game Boy Color.lpl Nintendo - Game Boy.lpl Nintendo - Nintendo 64.lpl Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System.lpl Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System.lpl Sega - Dreamcast.lpl Sega - Game Gear.lpl Sega - Mega Drive - Genesis.lpl Sony - PlayStation.lpl

This is what the Dreamcast playlist file looks like: /storage/roms/Dreamcast/legacy.cdi Legacy of Kain: Soulreaver /tmp/cores/reicast_libretro.so Reicast DETECT Sega - Dreamcast.lpl

Any ideas as to how I eliminate the black square “Dreamcast” icon without removing the Dreamcast system icon?

How did you create the Dreamcast playlist? (Using a script, manually editing a text file? Did you create the playlist in Windows, Linux, OS X, etc?)

(I’m wondering if this is an issue based on the playlist being created in a Windows/DOS format rather than Unix format. Until the next update to Lakka nightly, playlists must use Unix line endings)

Also, does the Dreamcast playlist work correctly when loading the ROM?

#4

I created the playlist on OS X. I copied one of the auto-generated playlists, renamed it and added the correct line entries. I believe it has the proper Unix line endings.

Yes, the actual Dreamcast playlist works correctly. The ROM will load without issue.

I just can’t wrap my mind around the fact that removing the one playlist file will remove both the black square and the Dreamcast playlist. This has to be an issue with the actual Dreamcast playlist lpl file correct?

#5

If you created it on OSX check to see if there’s a hidden playlist with the same name but instead of Dreamcast.lpl, it will be named ._Dreamcast.lpl.
