Problem with NFC

I am unable to get an NFC tag to work on the MiSTer, I see the script running on my LDC TV, but on my CRT, it says it can't find the RBF file. I can understand that last part because when looking at what I wrote on the tag:
/media/fat/games/SNES/Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World Redux.sfc
How would the script know where my Super Famicom core resides on my MicroSD Card?

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

Hmm it looks ok, remember just in case, Linux is very case sensitive, so make sure its correct down to the extention.
Also maybe try this one, to test there isnt anything else wrong.
**random:snes

If that works it may be an issue with the file name , or maybe it doesnt like the + in the file name.

In addition to being case sensitive linux also doesn't understand spaces in file names natively, you either need to wrap them in quotes or escape them.
E.G.
"/media/fat/snes/Super Mario.smc"
or
/media/fat/snes/Super\ Mario.smc

Just to be clear, the script does not require escaping or quotes. Just put the path in as you naturally would

I spoke privately about the original issue, it's a problem of the rbf files not being in their standard location. I am working on a fix but don't have a date for it yet
