hi

im using fusion and i have all the systems set up and working

properly but i need a little help if possible with sega cd iso directories.

i have only put 1 sega cd iso+mp3 into the segacd dir and it works

fine but how would i go about adding more isos as i couldnt put

multiple sets of mp3's in the same directory and i wouldnt want to

as it would be a mess.

a work around would be mutiple rom dirs like the mame config

page , could i just list dirs that way by typing in more dirs ?

thanks for your time.

i tryed adding a rom path

E:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\Shining Force (Eur)E:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\Road Rash

but i get an error telling me the rom path doesnt exist.

also tryed it with ; at the start of the next rom path

and had the same error.

E:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\Shining Force (Eur);E:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\Road Rash

anyone got any ideas.

when i uses games there are in differents folders i uses .bat files that way you can even set up each game after your own taste so instead of guiding to differents folders guide it to a folder where you have all your .bat files and change for romfilter to :

ROMFilter=*.bat

then you can guide each .bat file to where your iso+mp3 are just remember the "" becouse i can see you have spaces in your games and folders...

i havent tested it with sega CD tho (i have merged my images to bin/cue) but it shoudl work fine ..

hope it helps

[romstar]

thanks for that night !

the only thing is i dont know anything about bat files.

how do i create them and what do i do with them.

[night]

give me a monent and ill make an example .bat for you ...

Edit :

ok this should work...

make a txt file and copy paste this into it

D:\emulators\SegaCD\Fusion\Fusion.exe "D:\emulators\SegaCD\roms\Eye Of the Beholder.cue" -scd -auto

edit the folders and names to your paths ...

rename the .txt to .bat (file type extension)

create one for each game

and you can test your .bat by double clicking on it so see if it works so you dont have to goto GameEx every time or right mouse click for editing the .bat file ...

ps: you can afcouse use sortcuts as well i just like .bat files more

[romstar]

thanks for this , but still having a problem ..

i have made paths and made as .bat which

makes the file look like a dos .exe but nothing happpens

when i click it.

e:\mame\Fusion v3.51\Fusion.exe "e:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\shining_force_cd"

is the -scd-auto text needed ?

e:\mame\Fusion v3.51\Fusion.exe "e:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\shining_force_cd" -scd -auto

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

also i tryed shortcuts but they dont work.

this is my rom path -- and the iso is called shining_force_cd

E:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\Shining Force (Eur)

this is my emu path -- and the emu is called fusion

E:\mame\Fusion v3.51 fusion

i also fixed the path so its like this and its still not working , well i mean nothing happens

when i try to run it.

e:\mame\Fusion v3.51\Fusion.exe "e:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\Shining Force (Eur)\shining_force_cd" -scd -auto

also if i get this correct , how do i implement it into

gameEX , do i just make lots of .bat files , put them

in a folder and point my rom dir to that folder.

from what i can see with the .bat files not working

would this have somthing to do with my version of windows

as its win xp and i have never really been able to run

ms dos.exe's , when i click the screen just flashes.

thanks for all your help

[romstar]

ok i got it !!! yey

i done a little research on google and found

out that the path files need to be shortcuts to the files

and not the master file.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction night !

[romstar]

hmmm ..

ok i have the .bat files working from windows they

open the emulator and run the rom but they dont

work within gameEX ????

the emulator loads up but no rom , must be simply

due to using .bat files but i dont know how to fix.

[night]

yes you guide to the folder where your .bat files are

ROMFilter=*.bat

RomPath=D:\emulators\Segacd\Bat

and then :

Command=cmd.exe /c "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

hope it helps ...

[romstar]

brill , thank you very much night !!!!!

you have been a great help i really appreciate it.

and i also learned something that i always wanted

to do with files but didnt know how , now i can with .bat.

thank you

[night]

thats really no problem im glad i could help..

the thank you are reward enough for me

I am having the same problem as ROMSTAR.

Using the example of Eye of the Beholder.. I have tested the bat file from within Windows and it works fine, but the GameEx execution fails. It just goes to a black screen for a few seconds then returns to the menu.

[night]

what emulator are you using ?

[hansolo77]

I got it... I had to point my working folder to the actual location of the emulator (*which was gens.exe in a different folder than the .bat*) and then for the command I used:

Command="[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

instead of

Command=cmd.exe /c "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

Works great now! All I have to do now is create and type out the locations for all the CD's I have (a bunch)... Thanks.
