[impeeza]

• I have checked the known issues and searched Github to ensure this issue has not already been reported.
• This is not a feature request, I know those belong on Discord/Github Discussions.

Description of the bug:

Once you extract Windows version and run for the first time if you select the ROM from a path containing special characters, the ROM can not be open and a error is displayed

Can you reproduce? If so please list the steps:

• No, I cannot reproduce this bug
• Yes, here are the steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Download latest Windows version
2. Extract it to a folder
3. Run Ghostship.exe, a dialog asking for the original ROM is displayed and a dialog for select the file is shown.
4. Navigate to the path of ROM in this case t:\ROMs N64 Mías\baserom.us.z64 not the í character on the path.

Should be noted what the program is trying to open T:\ROMs N64 Mías\baserom.us.z64 may be a Unicode-ASCII path translation error. See the screenshot at end.

Expected behavior:

The ROM should be open and the OTR file should be generated.

Screenshots or videos:

This is the error:

Update, If you put your setup on a folder without special characteres you can generate the sm64.o2r file without problem, but if you then move all the files to a folder with a special character on the path, THE GAME DO NOT LOAD:

after that dialog the game start but crashes:

Attaching the Ghostship.log

Ghostship.log

As you can see the path is h:\Emuladores\Nintendo Switch\HomeBrew\Super Mario 64 NX, Unofficial Native Homebrew Port\Compilación desde repositorios\_ShipOfHarkinian-HarbourMasters\1.0.2\Ghostship-Dutchman-Charlie-Win64\ note the ó on ...compilación... if I change the path to h:\Emuladores\Nintendo Switch\HomeBrew\Super Mario 64 NX, Unofficial Native Homebrew Port\Compilacion desde repositorios\_ShipOfHarkinian-HarbourMasters\1.0.2\Ghostship-Dutchman-Charlie-Win64\ the game loads fine.
