Strange Bug Using Daemon Tools / Virtual CloneDrive and SSF v10

[cid386]

I've only noticed it with certain games but when I load SSF using gameex (auto mounting a cd with daemon tools or with the built in clonecd drive) certain games don't work correctly or bug out.

For example, when I start SSF without game ex, Panzer Dragoon Saga works fine. Yet when I load it through gameex, it plays the intro but takes me back to the saturn bios after I press start.

X-Men Children of the Atom also works fine when I load SSF normally but when I use gameex the textures are garbled and distorted (unplayable).

I've tried everything to get it to work correctly using gameex but have deducted that it's a problem with SSF and the auto mounting of a cd image.

Anyone notice this yet? Or have any way to get it to work correctly?

Cheers.

Ok fixed the problem, if any of you guys have the same problem this is how I fixed it:

First of all I started working on a different problem where I was trying to get the image mounted using daemon tools and 7zip files.

In debug mode it showed it trying to load the right directory but adding an extra "Unzipped7-Zip" before the file, (\Unzipped7-Zip\unzipped7-zipPanzer Dragoon Saga Disc 1 of 4 (U).cue)

So in order to stop that I just removed the [rompath] and replaced it with my actual directory ("%ProgramFiles%\DAEMON Tools Lite\daemon.exe" -mount 0,"G:\Sega Saturn\Unzipped7-Zip\[RomFile]"

this fixed both the 7zip mounting issue and the bug that i mentioned above. both games that were bugging out work perfectly now

cheers

I noticed this happening too for some emulation configs. The GameEx dir\data\runinitgame.bat the command has a double "Unzipped7-Zip\Unzipped7-Zip\" in the command line. Example:

in one emulator config the

Command=mednafen -fs 1 -loadcd PCFX "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

becomes this in the runinitgame.bat:

mednafen -fs 1 -loadcd pcfx "C:\Emulation\ROMS\NEC PC-FX\Unzipped7-Zip\Unzipped7-Zip\rom name.cue"

Yet in another emulator config:

Command=Fusion.exe -gen -fullscreen "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

Becomes:

fusion.exe -gen -fullscreen "C:\Emulation\ROMS\Sega Genesis\Unzipped7-Zip\rom name.gen"

Why the different results in the runinitgame.bat? Both configs use the same "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" variables.

Another post #52672 seems to report a similar issue. Is this some sort of bug?

I left out one point. The case where I encountered this problem did not involve either Daemon Tools or Virtual CloneDrive. Just trying to open a cue file directly with the emulator which it does support..

one more thing I just noticed. It seems to happen when ROMs are in ZIP but not in 7Z format.
