Supermodel config files not found about supermodel HOT 4 OPEN

You need to find out what Supermodel's current working directory is. I don't know how EmuStation launches apps. It is entirely possible that they place the .exe in one directory but then launch it with the current working directory somewhere else. If you can find Supermodel.log afterwards and inspect it, it may give you a clue as to where the app was started from. The Config folder would need to be placed there. Currently, you can point Supermodel at a different location for Games.xml but not Supermodel.ini itself.

Use the CLI, it should end up trying to use ~/.config/supermode/Config or something. I copied the Config files from this repo after making the dir and it seemed to list the available game compatibility fine.

Yes, the flatpak needs to include these files, but you can fix this on your own for now:

$ flatpak run com.supermodel3.Supermodel -print-games
Supermodel: A Sega Model 3 Arcade Emulator (Version 0.3a-WIP)

Error: Unable to open '/home/deck/.config/supermodel/Config/Supermodel.ini'. Configuration will not be loaded.
Error: Failed to parse /home/deck/.config/supermodel/Config/Games.xml (XML_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

mkdir ~/src
git clone https://github.com/trzy/Supermodel/ ~/src/supermodel
mkdir -p ~/.config/supermodel/Config

$ cp -v ~/src/supermodel/Config/* ~/.config/supermodel/Config/
'/home/deck/src/supermodel/Config/Games.xml' -> '/home/deck/.config/supermodel/Config/Games.xml'
'/home/deck/src/supermodel/Config/Supermodel.ini' -> '/home/deck/.config/supermodel/Config/Supermodel.ini'

Now this should work fine:

flatpak run com.supermodel3.Supermodel -print-games

from supermodel.

I lied, I did need to set the starting directory when using the flatpak, but this was true of when I built the Linux binary as well.
