Just as "add PC drives at startup" in WinUAE settings

@walkero - I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. The game Troddlers has just been updated to now have both TroddlersImage.slave and TroddlersFiles.slave (2 separate lhas) before it was just Troddlers.slave (one lha)

Anyways after updating and scanning repositories, the original Troddlers still remains in the Games list along with the two new Troddlers entries (files & image). Running the original will cause iGame to freeze.

In gameslist.csv it's entry is 0;Troddlers;Unknown;;0;0;0;0. If this entry is deleted the error is fixed.

Thanks, I've encountered this bug a few times and it would be good to finally get it fixed. It usually only ever occurs like in the example above.

walkero · 15 March 2021, 00:15

I have already a fix ready. Will be in the next beta release.

Hello guys. I just released the iGame v2.1 beta 2 at
https://github.com/MrZammler/iGame/r...2-20210315.lha

### Added
- Added iGame version at the screen title

### Updated
- Updated Italian catalog
- Updated Greek catalog

### Fixed
- Fixed starting whdload games that have tooltypes start with the characters »«.=#!
- Fixed starting whdload games/demos that the Slave path is missing. Now an error message is shown, and iGame doesn't crash hard, bringing down the whole system.

Have in mind it is beta version, but feel free to give it a try and give me your feedback here or create issues at https://github.com/MrZammler/iGame/issues

I think the problem still exists in the latest beta though it's not as bad as before as there's now no crash and reset but instead an error message. Oddly enough there can still be duplicate entries shown like with Tom&Jerry in the picture below. The WHDLoad slave just had a simple rename from "TomAndJerryHuntingHighAndLow_v1.0_1305" to "Tom&JerryHuntingHighAndLow_v1.1_1305". The csv file can be edited to remove these duplicate entires but I'm not sure why it occurs.

Hello there. I fixed the crashing, but you are right, the record remains. I am thinking to add a new menu item, with which you will be able to remove an entry. Unfortunately, the game statistics is difficult to be transferred from an old path to a new one, an they will be lost.

wiz12 · 04 April 2021, 23:46

Could there be an option to validate or double check game entries or even a path so any duplicated or non-existant game would be highlighted?

Remove an entry would be a very useful feature.

walkero · 20 April 2021, 10:33

There are two solutions for this matter. Either remove it manually or remove it automatically.

The first one is faster to implement and can be useful to remove games that were added manually.

The second one is more complicated, and there is always a risk to remove games that were added manually there, which we need to avoid by any means.

I believe that it is preferred to go with the manual one, or even create a popup, similar to the one that I added, with a message "Slave path does not exist. Do you want to remove this entry?", with two buttons "Yes" and "No". This way when you double click an entry that doesn't exist any more, you will be able to remove it at the same time.

What do you think guys on this approach?

vulture · 20 April 2021, 12:12

I believe that's preferable, manual mode + requester if the path doesn't exist.
Btw, big kudos for your continued work on this m8!

tolkien · 20 April 2021, 13:09

I prefer manual one simply to can remove diferent versions of the same game (in other languaje, ntsc, image format etc etc).

walkero · 20 April 2021, 13:38

@vulture
Thanks a lot. iGame is an awesome app and deserves some love.

@tolkien
So you would like a menu item to remove an entry from the list, as well as from the gameslist file. Have in mind though that if you rescan the repositories, and the slave is still there, this will be added at the list again.

tolkien · 20 April 2021, 13:45

i have 3000 games in my gamelist and I only add games "manualy" from time to time so no scan the repository.
But is easy to open current game dir and delete that dir too so yes, erasing the game from gamelist would be great.

walkero · 20 April 2021, 13:47

Awesome. Created the https://github.com/MrZammler/iGame/issues/149 and https://github.com/MrZammler/iGame/issues/150 where I described the features and the proposed solution, to tack them. Feel free to add comments there if you want.
