Description

Prerequisites

  • I have written a descriptive issue title.
  • I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
  • I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

Retroarch Dev

Expected/Current Behaviour

To retroarch access or create retroarch.cfg.

Steps to Reproduce

Install retroarch dev from the detain bucket, open retroarch and it throws an error: "[config]: config directory not set, cannot save configuration"

Possible Solution

It seems that the installer creates a retroarch.cfg (and content_favorites.lpl & content_history.lpl) but in format of a folder which the program cannot access it.

I'm not a programmer myself but since the extras bucket version of retroarch this problem doesn't occur maybe the solution is in the "pre_install" property.

Deleting the retroarch.cfg folder fixes the problem.
