Description:

The Save Management features in LaunchBox are no longer working correctly with the Flycast core (Dreamcast emulator via RetroArch) due to a recent change made by Flycast developers.

Details:

Previously, Flycast saved files using the same name as the ROM file, which allowed LaunchBox to easily detect and associate save files with each game. However, as per this Flycast update (Discussion Link), saves are now named using the game’s internal GAME ID instead of the ROM filename.

As a result, LaunchBox can no longer detect existing saves because the filenames no longer match the ROMs, breaking Save Management functionality for any titles using the updated Flycast core.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Update Flycast core to the latest version with GAME ID save naming.

2. Load a Dreamcast ROM using the updated core.

3. Create a save file in-game.

4. Check LaunchBox Save Management for the ROM — no save is detected, despite one existing on disk.

Expected Behavior:

LaunchBox should recognize save files associated with games, even if Flycast uses GAME IDs rather than ROM filenames.

Additional Information:

This change affects all users of the updated Flycast core through RetroArch and impacts Dreamcast game saves specifically.
