#7995 closed patch

Getting simon2win to start at all

Description

When I try to start simon2win, ScummVM complains that it can't read effects offsets. Since Simon 2 doesn't have an effects file (apparently voices and effects are stored together in one single file), it shouldn't even be trying.

That it does is because fopen_maybe_lowercase() takes the empty string, prepends _game_path and appends "." to it, i.e. it's trying to open the game directory as a file.

This patch will cause fopen_maybe_lowercase() to return NULL if you try to open NULL or an empty string.

It's still not playable because it will hang pretty early on, but it's still an improvement. :-)

The patch is made against a July 31 CVS snapshot.
