network shares do not work

01 April 2013, 18:52

I can't use disk images that are located on a network share.

See the below dialog that occurs when I try to launch a game. You can clearly see that the concatenated path is incorrect.

Not running windows, but I have two hints which may help:

1. Map your network share as drive letter (for example X: ) and then access the files via x:\downloads\amiga\disks\....

2. Replace backslashes with forward slashes in paths

Hi, network shares with UNC path names (\\server\path) does not work in FS-UAE Launcher currently. You can do what Goingdown suggests and map the share as a drive for now.

I have added this issue to the todo-list
