I was talking about how zinc references You did have the right idea about what i was trying to do from the begining

awesome. Thanks. havnt updated since the begining of the year cause my cab doesnt have net access. Will update today after exams. thanks heaps

9.73 is the latest? i will have a go at that and then try brians solution. And yes tempest, i think you finally understand whats going on thanks for all the help anyway.

AHHHHHH awesome. THanks. So its a fix for game ex. thanks heaps man. I was wondering why something like that hadnt been done before. I was reading through and i thought it was a set up so that it was running as a seperate emulator like the n64 emulator and such

so i am guessing this would mean that i woudlnt simply be able to scroll through mame and select the game i want but to play any zinc game i would need to select it in a different section? thats dissapointing seeing as some mame games work and some dont Oh well, guess it will have to do

thats what i would like to do but i dont know how

Can you run a game in zinc without GameEx? Yes i can Zinc was working in GameEx before? Yes, and still is. Just isnt working for erhgeiz and tekken 3(but i can get over tekken3) What happens when you run Run Last Game.bat? right here: @ECHO OFF C: CD "C:\Emulators\Mame32" Zinc_Loader.exe ehrgeiza -device_video_output fullscreen -quiet -dir_rom "C:\Emulators\Mame32\roms" What that quoted text means was there are two different sets for ehrgeiz. ver 2 and ver 3. I tried both

--edit-- Ok, new problem. Now when i try to run ehrgeiz(and this isnt specific to a set, made sure that game ex isnt filtering either set until this is working) it runs as if there isnt a rom file. So i select the game, go to play it, game ex minimises in an attempt to run zinc, but then just comes back up --original-- awesome. So this should only affect mame when it attempts to call a game that is meant to run in zinc. Thanks so much. Going to go test it now

where ever you installed it to. Default would be c:/programs/GameEx or something along those lines

kk, but wont that mean if i have model 2 running model 2 wont run if this program organizes all the rom loading? or will it still run?

When you upgrade all your settings should be kept. Make a back up of your game ex folder before you back up though

sorry its taken so long to reply. Been a bit busy. Here is the runitgame.bat @ECHO OFF C: CD "C:\Emulators\ZiNc" ZiNc.exe 45 --roms-directory="C:\Emulators\Mame32\roms" --renderer=.\renderer.znc and the log: 18:13:12.8 12/4/2008: Running: cmd.exe /c C: C:\Emulators\ZiNc\ZiNc.exe 45 --roms-directory=C:\Emulators\Mame32\roms --renderer=.\renderer.znc 18:13:44.3 12/4/2008: Exiting GameEx! 18:13:44.3 12/4/2008: Saving Settings 18:13:46.1 12/4/2008: Disposing Plugins 18:13:46.1 12/4/2008: Closing database connection 18:13:46.2 12/4/2008: Checking for applications to Launch On Exit

i double clicked on the mame_loader exe outside of mame and its like it didnt read the text file. Even when i scrolled to ehrgeiz it didnt work

--new edit-- Ok, got past that problem. Now the problem is it doesnt seem to be booting zinc at all. It boots straight into mame. i put the rom name(ehrgeiz) into the zinc.txt list but nothing. --edit-- It had an error but I seem to have fixed it by putting the comments on their own lines instead of at the end of the lines of code. Now the problem is when i try and compile it says "error: Error opening the destination file" Does this mean i have to install the compile program on my mame box and compile it on there? --original-- thanks heaps. Should be able to get this all working now

that is alot of help, just cant compile :S ; This script will take a MAME command line arguments (the rom name, rom path, etc.) ; and check to see if it needs to be run in a special version of MAME. If so, it will ; launch the rom in that version and wait for MAME to exit. At that point, it ; will kill the script. #NoTrayIcon #SingleInstance ignore MAME_Analog_Path := "C:\Emulators\ZiNc\ZiNc.exe" MAME_Path := "C:\Emulators\Mame32\mame.exe" Loop, %0%; For each parameter: { if A_Index = 1 { RomName := %A_Index% } else if A_Index > 1 { param := %A_Index%; Fetch the contents of the variable whose name is contained in A_Index. Arguments = %Arguments% %param% } } ; Run in MAME Analog+? Loop, read, C:\Emulators\Mame32\zinc.txt { If RomName = %A_LoopReadLine% { run %MAME_Analog_Path% %RomName% %Arguments%,,,MAME_PID WinWait, ahk_pid %MAME_PID% WinWaitClose;Wait until MAME is exited ExitApp } } ; Run in standard MAME run %MAME_Path% %RomName% %Arguments%,,,MAME_PID WinWait, ahk_pid %MAME_PID% WinWaitClose;Wait until MAME is exited thats what it will be

so basically that intercepts the command from gameex to launch a rom file in what ever emulator it is set to instead of the default. That should work, just dont get how to customise it. Had a read through and i dont get it :S bit tired though so yea

um, your link is to reply to this thread

gah. I wish i knew where in the game ex files it had the list of games that boot in zinc instead of mame

yea, specs needed. Also, do you have zinc and model 2 installed? many games that are 3d run better in those 2 then mame

Ok, i have my game ex all set up so that it boots games in zinc instead of mame where appropriate, but for some reason it is still booting ehrgiez in mame instead of zinc. I know it works in zinc, i checked out the game list for zinc and its in there. Any ideas? Just that it runs crazy slow in mame and should run faster in zinc(had this issue with tekken, the running slow, and in zinc it runs 100% speed)

thank you. I have romlister so i guess i will use that to check in the future

i have that filter on. I believe it works. i searched it in http://www.mameworld.net/maws/ and it doesnt say it doesnt, just says sound is imperfect.

new problem, soul calibur isnt showing. I have tried both Soul calibur and soulcalibur in the do not filter section and neither work. I made sure i added the ; after pacman but still it wont show. And yes, i remebered to update my game list this time Also, all files are there

crap! forgot that! knew there had to be something missing

--edit-- pacman filter didnt work :S both with pacman and pacman; --original-- yea i had a look at rom lister when i was trying to figure out how to do it and in the end wasnt happy with how it was sorting. What ive done works for me so yaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Thanks, will try that pacman filter now.
