PCSX2 crashes on launching with invalid argument error
PrudentMantis opened this issue · comments
First off, this could very well be user error. I'm not sure I've got the PCSX2 Configuration Folder set correctly - it is supposed to be the 'inis' folder in the PCSX2 Root Directory, assuming I'm not using an installer version but have instead just downloaded a 1.7.0 build, right? I couldn't find any documentation that specified.
Assuming so, and that I'm not a complete idiot:
Trying to either run or configure a game once added throws up the following error message from what seems to be PCSX2, not Spectabis: Unknown long option 'cfgpathC'. After clicking OK, the PCSX2 Commandline Options dialogue comes up. While these two dialogues are up, Spectabis Next has 'Game is running' shown in its window, with the option to click 'Stop Game'. Once the PCSX2 Commandline Options screen is closed, Spectabis Next doesn't crash, it simply returns to the library. This happens with any game in my Library.
Both PCSX2, the game image files, and Spectabis Next are all located on a non-OS drive, if that matters.
OS: Windows 10 Pro
OS Version: 2004
Spectabis Version: 0.2.0-20201119.1

Hi, thanks for taking an interest!
The release section is a bit misleading, as they are not released automatically and the one you are using is from November.
Regardless, could you please try with the current latest version and verify this still happens?
Yeah, still happens unfortunately. Here's the console dump:

Interesting and wierd!
Could you verify the directory C:\Users\chir_\.spectabis\ exists?
Also, is your account username chir_ or is it something else?
Yep to both! And PCSX2\inis\ is the correct folder for the config stuff, right?
Ah, good catch! It should be the PCSX2, not PCSX2/inis/.
You can try deleting the .spectabis folder to reset current configuration.
Damn, I hoped that would fix it. Still has the same problem after correcting that. I didn't delete the .spectabis folder, instead I edited directory.json to have the correct directory, and then when that didn't work I edited spectabis.json so it would run the first-time wizard again. Neither changed anything about the behaviour.
Going into the .spectabis\profiles\0d43cefc-b34e-49cf-bfc1-2b88674f1856\ folder, I get this in profile.json:
{
"Id": "0d43cefc-b34e-49cf-bfc1-2b88674f1856",
"Title": "Star Wars - Jedi Starfighter",
"SerialNumber": "SLUS20293",
"FilePath": "D:\Games\Emulated\PS2\Discs\USA\Star Wars - Jedi Starfighter (USA).iso",
"EmulatorPath": null,
"BoxArtPath": null,
"LaunchOptions": 0,
"Playtime": "00:00:58.0334889",
"LastPlayed": "2021-02-08T20:13:01.8092626+10:00"
}
Is that correct? Should EmulatorPath be something other than null?
Yes, the profile.json looks fine. EmulatorPath can and should be null as it is used only for overriding emulator on per-game basis.
Yep, that works perfectly! Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, I saw the email but was busy at the time and then promptly proceeded to forget about it entirely. Thanks for the help!
