libretro.opera (3do) not finding Bios
#1
Is Opera working for anyone?  I have the correct Bios/path but Opera does not find it.

It looks like this was an issue as far back as 2021, but doesn't appear to be fixed.  Everything I have is up to date.

This seems to be a bug in the "long tail" of game add-ons, where most work but isolated cases of problems like this still show up for some cores due to specifics in how the individual core works.

The only way to fix long tail bugs is to reproduce the issue and bughunt it. Debug logs are critical in reproducing issues, because it lets me quickly replicate the setup that leads to the problem. The 2021 debug log may be sufficient, but if you have a debug log too it can't hurt.

I'm a bit short on Kodi time these days due to work and vacation, but I'll put this bug on my list of things to fix when I get a chance.

Thanks a bunch,  I tried playing around with the values in the config xml as were the guys in the 2021 post and got the same result they did.  Here's my Debug log trying to load the gex iso into opera.

Some extensions may interfere with Opera's functionality. Disable them temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.

Thanks, you mean disable all other plugins?

Have you tried any specific troubleshooting steps beyond adjusting the config XML values?

I had time over winter break to troubleshoot this problem and I think I've fixed it so far. You can see my summary here: https://github.com/kodi-game/game.libret...2565901946

I first had to fix input: https://github.com/kodi-game/game.libret...ra/pull/11

I then enabled all the BIOS files in settings:

When I select this setting and put `panafz10.bin` in the system folder of the add-on, it's correctly discovered:

I tried loading a game, and it loaded successfully:

I pushed an update for Opera. Make sure you're in version >= 1.0.0.48 (which will be uploaded later today hopefully).
