Trouble reading file listing on Windows (r43)

Post by Mikko Karjanmaa »

It seems like the x16emu Windows builds are not reading file listings correctly from the host filesystem on my machine.
load "$
returns
SEARCHING FOR $
LOADING FROM $0801 TO $0801
?LOAD ERROR
READY.
This happens both when using -fsroot argument and when not. The fsroot argument itself does set the folder correctly, as i can load files by filename, only the listing does not work.

This happens on x16emu_win32-r43 and x16emu_win64-r43 builds released today.
(Commander X16 Emulator r43 (Stockholm), bc685727)
The OS is Windows 10 Pro version 21H2 build 19044.2846

LOAD"$" works on hardware.
And in the emulator if an SD card is attached.
But not if accessing the host file system, as Mikko pointed out.

Using DOS"$ works. I got used to using LOAD"$ in previous builds (muscle memory from c64 maybe), but if not having it for host file system is better for compatibility reasons or something, I don't mind. Thanks!
