Every Game Crashing Playdate

[corsair]

Hello Adam,

First and foremost, thank you for your time and contributions towards this!

I just got my Playdate and promptly got this loaded onto it, however upon launching any ROM, it will result in an immediate crash with the Playdate staing "Sorry, your Playdate has crashed. Press (A) to restart."

I am on the latest build of Playboy and can provide any other details (or crash logs if those exist somewhere).

Update: This appears in the "Console" when my Playdate is connected to the Simulator.

Hey dude, sorry I totally missed this issue - don't know how I did!

If you didn't resolve this issue in the end, would you mind providing some more detail?

Are you copying your games over from a Mac or a Windows machine? There are strange little quirks, like when you copy a file named game.gb from a Mac to a Playdate, Finder creates a second file called ._game.gb. This second file is not a real ROM and Playboy will fail to load it.

Also, could you detail which games you're trying to play?

It looks like the ROM file is not being read correctly (hence its name is ""). This will also happen if you directly try to play a .zip file you got from a ROM site, instead of first extracting the raw .gb file from it.
