This problem took me a while to solve today.
I had a file called MissionImpossible.g4b which did not seem to get recognised by grub4dos.
It turned out it was a typo problem and because Windows Explorer shows virtually identical characters for capital I and lowercase L (l), I did not spot it!!! see below...
Can you tell the difference between I and l in the Windows font?
Good choice of font Microsoft - but give me function and clarity over aesthetics any day!
With some fonts I have problems distinguishing the number 1 from a lowercase l? Now it seems I also need to look out for uppercase I's as well!
Unfortunately Windows 10 has no facility to change the default font (unless you hack the Registry).
Anyone know how to have a legible font in Win10 without having to hack the registry?
P.S. In case you are wondering, the next version of E2B (and grub4dos) will be able to play annoying tunes through the PC internal speaker (if fitted) whilst the animated icon is displayed on the menu! I am testing/debugging it now.
