"GAMELIST.XML" Chinese support?

[paradadf]

@dayan support for what?

[dayan]

@paradadf "GAMELIST.XML" can write Chinese code?

[dayan]

Because I wrote this

[dayan]

@paradadf but.........black screen, crash

[paradadf]

Not supported, it appears.

[dayan]

@paradadf okay
Thank you

[Substring]

Knowing there is a chinese translation of ES, i'd be surprised it crashes.

@dayan Can you explain where it crashes ?

[paradadf]

Maybe related to:

I've also had that happen when gamelist.xml file was encoded in something different than UTF8

[Substring]

@voljega XML IS UTF8, no other, that's the kind of problem i expect from chinese text ... I hope it's not UTF16

[voljega]

@Substring yeah i know but it's still just a text file and you can have whatever encoding in it. I stumbled on that because i wrote 4 or 5 scrapers for my custom needs and I wasn't generating the gamelist file in the right format

[Substring]

@voljega still, it's written on the very first line of a XML file UTF8 ! Otherwise it's like writing bash in a python

[voljega]

@Substring he could still be modifying the file with a text editor outputting another format, hence the freeze/black screen problem...

[dayan]

@Substring I found a way to not crash ，first～File name beginning
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
and coding Transformation
ANSI and again coding Transformation UTF-8

[Substring]

@dayan good news
