Brian, thats what i meant. I tried both ways. With it mapped, and without it.....when i exit it manually, it crashes upon exiting, it performs an illegal operation.......

ok, tried it out this morning. Game still loads up perfectly, but upon exiting, by pressing Escape. It goes back to Gameex, but it doesnt kill hamsterball still. I turned off the map key, and it will exit the game, but not go back to GameEx.....

i'm up bright and early.... wake up brian ! har har har

arg...Screen just goes black.. doesn't go back to GameEX... here is the config for it..

Gotta try to get some from the wife before shes out! be on in the morning, thx a bunch guys, btw, i got MElty blood!!!!! will install it tommorows!!!

ok the .bat file worked the best, but when i press escape, which is mapped to my x-arcade side button, it goes back to GameEx. but hamserball is still running in the background.... i tried reversin that option for it not to use escape, but when i exit the game, it wont go back to GameEx..... just a blank windows desktop....arg.

ok how should i type it out? just hamsterball.exe thren save it as hamsterball.bat?

OK i made the a shortcut, and changed the filter, it loads a dos prompt with that echo stuff. still has that crash when i exit.... i tried guilty gear, and it works perfectly... maybe its just the hamsterball game?? =[

turned it off i meant

i have one of the buttons set up for ESCape key, and that exits the game..... i turned on map keys for the game so gameex shouldnt detect that right?

here is last game.bat i think this has something to do with it. upon exiting the game it crashes.. C: CD "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Hamsterball" @echo. @echo @echo. @echo. @echo "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Hamsterball/Hamsterball.exe" @echo. @echo @echo. PAUSE "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Hamsterball/Hamsterball.exe"

that worked great! but... when i exit the game, it gives an error.... it wont exactly take me back to gameEx... its like it keeps loading the game up..... hamsterball is the game..

Sounds Good

As said in topic, tried as an emulator, but it asked for rom path..... keeps crashing. Anybody know the correct way to do this? Thx

Not yet. I will this wednesday (payday) One more thing. What do you mean by Loader? and an AHK script? =[

yes i heard of that, in fact im gonna get it right now!! and the -triplebuffer thing worked. i took it out, and ki r uns SEAMLESS!!! thx agian dude! omg, is there anything u guys cant do?!?!?! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! my setup is just about complete. just need melty blood now. woooooooot. also, do you use x-arcade? if so, can it work with melty blood well?

ah i c. Well I'll try it when i get home. Thx agian guys. Now i just gotta figure out how to configure my x-arcade to work with guilty gear pc

yah Kenobi, it works PERFECT outside of GameEx, but not within. Brian, Thx, i will try that as soon as i get home. Can't wait... HOLLA!!!!!

Ok i already had .119u3 mame32 which is what i use in gameEx already, so i ran ki by itself outsife of GameEX, and it ran FULL SPEED with no hang ups. Very slick. But when i play it in GameEx, it goes very choppy and sluggish, and the sound gets garbled... is GameEx a Resource Hog? Any tips to increase performance would be good. I already disabled alpha blending and all the extra things i could find in the configuration.......

yah i know what your talking about, but i downloaded a newer version of u64, the platinum edition, and it fixes the videos and intro scenes, the gameplay is great, only bad thing is character selection, they slowed that down. aside from that its great. i will try all of these scnarios later, the old mame, the new mame, and u64. Can't wait for that u64 emu config u mentioned earlier. thx agian Brian

Also, when you say u64 has timing issues, do you mean during gameplay??

Ok, what menu is that under?

Ok Kool. I;ll try this. Would i have to have this load at a certain pont though? Xpadder that is...
