libretro scummvm core doesnt have libretro VFS support #18435
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
- I have searched the existing issues
Description
there isn't actually a specific scummvm libretro bug report page so I'm putting this here because it has little to do with upstream
Ok. The problem is this, the scummvm core has a mechanism to avoid the previous buggy .scummvm files hack where you first start the core. then scan games with it and then go to the backend global options page to create the playlist.
Upstream scummvm and retroarch now can use SAF paths (scummvm only if the core uses the retroarch bfs for paths). However they use different conventions/APIs for it. Since rsaf updated with squash file support I decided to try this again..
Anyway although it's possible to make retroarch access the squash file, it's not possible to make the core access it and create the playlist/entries. I tried to cheat the system by editing the scummvm.ini to change the paths to the parents RA expected for the squash but it creating the playlist still thinks they're not there. It might be possible with manually creating the playlist; depending how the core reacts but still.
