When trying to launch games from Emulation Station, almost of the time it will get stuck in the transaction animation. [Issue not reproducible at v34 stable]

Pre-Condition:

Install a game like shadow warrior classic into RAZE roms folder:
Guide: https://wiki.batocera.org/systems:raze#roms

shadow warrior classic is a free game, you can get it in Steam or GOG

/userdata/roms/raze/Shadow Warrior.raze        [Create this file with this content]
                                                              └── FILE = /shadow/SW.GRP
/userdata/roms/raze/shadow/   [Files from game folder /Shadow Warrior]
                                           └── SW.GRP
/userdata/roms/raze/shadow/music/      [Optional]
                                                    └── shadow.ogg to shadow14.ogg (or track02.ogg to track14.ogg) (optional)

Steps to Reproduce:
1 -At Emulation Station, update game list
2 - Goes to RAZE system
3 - Select a raze game (shadow warrior)
4 - If necessary, select the game to launch: shadow warrior (if it has more file then base file, some add-ons)

Actual Result:

After delete these files, the games are working again, but Blood games (that worked before) and Nam still not working.
Blood remains displaying the Script error described before, and the Nam back can't find the CON file NAM.CON
Raze files deleted:
/system/configs/raze/*
/saves/raze/*
I also verified that the /saves/raze/gprcrccache.txt store found file to be used by raze (GRP files), but no matter they are stored into /roms/raze or into /userdata if the files was stored there by mistake

Issue closed, all bad behaviors were reproducible due to bad configuration, the wiki was updated with some information about it:

Game does not launch:

- Check logs files es_launch_stderr.log and raze.log - Make sure all files are available at roms/azure - Make sure the .raze launch file is setup correctly

   Check the case sensitive
   Check the use of FILE, FILE+ and CON
       FILE and FILE+ must use the path /roms/raze/<gamefolder>/<main file or add-on>
       CON must use the relative path to the main file, so just <con file> (normally store in the same folder as the main file)
   .raze files mustn't have empty lines, so delete the empty lines
   As a last alternative, reset system files: delete files from /userdata/system/configs/raze/* and /userdata/saves/raze/*

Engine ask for which file initialize:

- Make sure that add-ons that must be ziped, are ziped and are not stored into the game folder, otherwise raze can't decide which file choose.

Script error “raze.pk3:menudef.txt” line 815: Float expected, got 0.5

- If the Raze engines does not find the files specified by the .raze file, it will scan the whole shared folder to find them, so it could wrong set a file that could be stored out of roms/azure folder, and will prevent the game to launch correctly.

- This error is reproducible due to Raze engine can't decide which main or add-on file to launch, even if the user indicates in the interface it runs error.
