SupraKarma Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 So, every single game that has ' in the title does not display genre, publisher, or year when fading into a game using Rocketlauncher's fade feature. Perhaps this is a Rocketlauncher issue, HOWEVER, after looking at the databases, the entries for the games have ' instead of '. In other words, Fester's Quest will display as Fester's Quest in the xml itself. Bleasby was able to get it working for my NES games with a simple download of a hyperspin plugin (still not working for every other system as far as I can tell), but I don't understand why the lists don't just use ' instead of '. It's causing problems. It's not necessary. It looks terrible. Everything continues to work by manually editing the games to have ' instead. So why was this changed? Older hyperlist xml's don't have that. What was the point?
Yeuxkes Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 It's a requirement for the game name whenever there are special characters, you can leave it out for the description part of the xml. As to why it's needed you ask, have a look here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML
Guest Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 Actually it's the other way around.If the database entry uses ' - data won't display.If it uses & apos ; - the data will display. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
SupraKarma Posted December 18, 2016 Author Posted December 18, 2016 I'm seeing an apostrophe both times. On my setup, I had to go through every single database and change ' to ' to make Fade ins work right.
SupraKarma Posted December 18, 2016 Author Posted December 18, 2016 Weird. I can only speculate what's causing the issue then. Someone over at the RL forum posted about it also. Bleasby provided a fix, but it only fixed my NES games. I didn't notice my TG-16 and other stuff was still messed up until later.

SupraKarma Posted December 18, 2016 Author Posted December 18, 2016 lol as if I can't just find and replace in notepad to change it back in like 10 seconds. But why not? Everything is working great, and my fade ins actually display all the info like they are supposed to. People keep telling me it's imortant, but if it serves no purpose, it really isn't.
SupraKarma Posted December 18, 2016 Author Posted December 18, 2016 Makes sense... I guess the only thing to do is switch all these databases back to ' and ditch Bleasby's fix. Sigh.
thatman84 Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 Apologies if this is irrelevant but does the special entity effect the roms only feature also. As I did not see that as a concern here. I remember having a problem with the & character in a game name entry preventing the game from showing in the wheel. Apologies again if this is a separate issue.
