Mala can't see Roms when there is a space in the directory
« on: March 25, 2011, 03:26:11 pm »
I have all my roms buried but organized in my documents. However, b/c of this, mala can't see any of them when there is a space like mydocs>6 games>mame>roms, but can when there isn't a space like mydocs>games>mame>roms. Any way around this besides renaming all my files (which I don't want to do)?

Can you escape it?  Like 6\ games.

No I tried that and underscores but Mala still doesn't see it. Odd thing is, the mame.exe is in this file structure and it sees that?  Only reason I do it is b/c I like to have all my doc folders together even when some random program puts a folder in there.... so 1 files, 2 music, 3 movies, etc

If you enable logging at debug level (on the options credits tab) you can see in the mala.exe.log file exactly what mala is trying to do  ;D

Here is the log from opening up mala, trying to run a game (1943), and then closing it. It doesn't make much sense to me??? :dunno

Yes it's not happy about the \ is it ?

2011/03/26  11:31:04.79   Info: LoadVideo:  \1943 NOT found .... etc  :-\

Can you send me a screen shot of the options screen where you set the roms with a space in the path please?

I have a few emulators in Mala with spaces in the rom paths. For example:

I have all my roms buried but organized in my documents. However, b/c of this, mala can't see any of them when there is a space like mydocs>6 games>mame>roms, but can when there isn't a space like mydocs>games>mame>roms. Any way around this besides renaming all my files (which I don't want to do)?

As a test I just put a copy of a few roms in a folder with the patch shown below:

C:\mydocs\6 games\mame\roms

As long as I had that exact path in the Configuration MaLa found the roms every time when I refreshed the main game list.

So I'm bit confused.... ???      Am I missing something here?

Can you give me screenshot of the configuration that does not work please   ;D

Hmm... that is odd. Here is my config. I couldn't enlarge the options screen but it says "C:\Users\Eric\Documents\6 Games\Mame\romtest". Thanks for your help! It has two roms in it and when I put them on the desktop they play fine. I am also running win7 if that helps.

Just trying to work out if it is a windows permissions problem you are experiencing or it really is a space issue.
All the tests I did with spaces worked.

Can you please test for me on your system ...
If you made another directory without a space in the same area does that work?  ???

ie :
"C:\Users\Eric\Documents\Anothertest"

Sorry, I just noticed your response! Yes no matter where I place the directory (either on the desktop or in a long buried place), if it has a space it doesn't play, but no space means its good to go. Did you use a number in your tests? Maybe that is it? I haven't try using a letter and a space like '\a games' vs '\6 games'

Yes I did try with a number.

* Any chance you can perform the same test on another PC ?

* Can you try with a space just on the path the xml file?

* Can you try with a space just on the path the rom directory?

Thanks for testing
