  • Ticket #14875 – Description

    initial v1  
    2525If I understand detection correctly, ScummVM will call detectGames() once for every engine. It will first look for exact matches, remove any pirated version it finds, and finally - if there are no exact matches - it will do fallback detection.
    2626
    27 But when it checks if there are any known games found, it that's only the known games **for that engine**, not the games it has found for other engines so far.
    28 
    29 Which probably means that if the engines had been listed in a different order, so that the M4 engine appeared last, it would have removed all the fallbacks in favor of the exact match. But now it finds an exact match, and later engines still get to add their fallback candidates.
    30 
    31 Which seems sub-optimal to me.
