Visualboy Advance SDL rom naming question

[gonzo90017]

Is anyone familiar with the sdl version of vba. For some reason it doesn't like long file names. Example when I try to run Double Dragon Advance (U).zip it gives me an erorr messange saying "unknow file type double" But when I rename it to double.zip it loads just fine.

And before anyone asks why i'm not using the windows version it's because Sdl version runs much faster on my 400mhz.

I have never used the SDL version before but could it be possible you need to place double quotes around the complete filename when asking the emulator to run it?

ex:  "Double Dragon Advance (U).zip"

Without the quotes it looks like the emulator is simply considering the first word as the filename (ie: Double) only.  Other emulators have the same problem unless the double quotes are included in the command execution line.

Here is how I execute the Visualboy Advanced emulator manually:

  visualBoyAdvance "C:\Emulators\GameboyAdvance\Tekken Advance.zip"


Thought I would mention it .....
