Hey Malte,
I didn't want to post this in the libretro forum because I *think* it's a RCB issue.
When launching SegaCD games using the internal emulator (libretro) from RCB, they are getting detected as DVD images and therefore failing. Launching the files through the file manager works as expected, hence why I'm posting here. I know it's early days to be reporting bugs like this, but I thought you'd like to know.
[Edit]
In retrospect, I'm not sure where the error lies. I can reproduce the error in the XBMC file manager, but that allows me to choose which player to use, thereby working around the problem. RCB seems to use the default player, in this case the DVD Player, which fails. Obviously in RCB we don't want to launch games as DVD movies, so forcing them to open with Retroplayer would be great, but I have no idea if that's even possible.
On the other hand, the better method would be for XBMC to 'detect' whether it's a DVD or game, but that would be down to Garbear and retroplayer rather than you and RCB. Again I have no idea if that's even possible.
