While playing with hatari and asm, I think I4ve found something :
In my program, I have the following :
toto_01l: dc.b "DATA\CHARS\TOTO0\BIN_LEFT\IDLE1.SPR",0
toto_01r: dc.b "DATA\CHARS\TOTO0\BIN_RIGHT\IDLE1.SPR",0
I load these files with the loader.s rout from DHS (thanks to them for
this code).
On hatari, it loads well and I don't have any problem, while on my real
falcon, I get the following message :
DATA\CHARS\TOTO0\BIN_RIGHT\IDLE1.SPR not found
I think this may due to the 9 characters of the directory, but hatari
and my Falcon don't behave the same here.
That's a side-effect of Hatari GEMDOS emulation convenience feature.
Hatari's GEMDOS emulation supports accessing (case insensitively) host
directories and files which names are longer than 8+3 supported by FAT.
Even if one part of the code would limit names coming from TOS to GEMDOS
emulation to 8+3, the support for host names longer than 8+3 names would
cause the longer names to be matched.
What I could do, is adding a warning on console for names that are longer
than 8+3 characters. Would that help?
