    Hello again

    I got things working, but I now see the pattern which causes the problem.
    I managed to reproduce the problem again. So it goes as follows

    The problem appears with games I had installed from CD-Images in magic dos box. The ones in question were Jagged Alliance : Deadly games and Daggerfall. The first time I just copied the games CD images to the phone SD card, then mounted them in Magic Dosbox and made the installation through MDB. In this case I got ‘Can’t open..’ problem that I was describing, even though the installation was a success and files copied.

    Then I did the same on the PC. I have installed the game from the game CD, and then copied the already installed files to the phone sd card. In this case everything works fine.
    Basically running the installation procedure directly from the cd image on the phone sd card causes the behavior I have initially described.

    @Alex, @admin

    Thanks for responding.. the problem seems gone now.. I don’t really know what happened.
    Before upgrading to Android 9.. I had the SD card listed as ‘Read-Only’.. When I requested access to the SD card I had my internal storage, the read-only sd-card and another one which was also the SD card as full access..
    After re-requesting access again (for second time after the upgrade) i was left with only the internal storage and full-access sd card.
    Now one of my games that was failing seems to run, and I am going to retry Daggerfall one of the following days.. Hopefully all will work. I will come back if it happens again and I have more information to share. I guess it’s magic.. Magic Dosbox.. Thanks for your time trying to help me out. I really appreciate the work on the app and the time

    Hello, thanks for responding

    Yes, I have requested SD-card access and pressing ‘Show Detected storages’ button lists it as ‘Full Access’
    And as I mentioned I already have some games that I am able to play, even create game saves. The issue is only with the new games that I am trying to add. And when I mount a CD image and run the original game installer to copy files it can do so, so the issue is not with the SD card access itself.

    And a little correction to my first post.. My device is Xiaomi A2 Lite, not just A2
