Adultery

Oh yeah! Brutal Legend and some other titles for $6 this week! Been meaning to play this for a while, what excuse do I have now? Psychonauts too for that matter! I'll be busy for a few days. /me jacked

Trust me, that score won't last long. That's like, what, two more tips? I got this. :-)

The db can only take a top 10 by design, just so you're aware (The DB is only set up for ten rows per game) A top 10 is ideal, and I don't plan on doing a rewrite to support more than that. Just so ya know. :-) You gotta draw that line somewhere, and no one below 10 gets any points for the overall leader board anyways. I really think a top 10 is the way to go.

Rub it in why don't ya, you ass hat. Hahaha!

Okay well what I would do is create an emulator where *.exe is the filter and the rom folder is the folder that exe is in. The working path would be the folder the exe is I'm also. In Launch Before, I'd put in the D-Tools mount command with the path to the iso in there. In the command line, I'd put "[RomFile]" In the launch after, I'd put the D-Tools unmount command. Then I'd make a map file with the one line in it: yourlauncher.exe| House of the Dead 3 and point your emulator at it. Then if it's part of another emulator, I would group this one and whichever other emulator it's part of. Boom, the ISO mounts but you launch the exe instead. Problem solved. :-)

Oh okay, let me jump on my laptop and look, it's kind of confusing on my phone. So the game needs to be mounted but the exe needs to be launched, not the iso. I think I follow. I have a plan on what to do, just wait until I get home and I'll post it.

You had it set up right the first time. The problem is that ssf is trying to mount and run the image, not the launcher exe. I don't know what to say, that exe is fouling everything up for you. What is it for? You're telling ssf that you want to mount and play the image but you're actually trying to launch an exe. This is quite an unusual setup, so I need to know more info, abd I need to see your emulator config.

Oh now that can't stay that way. :-)

If you have the patience for searching memory addresses, it's not to hard. I was thinking of doing achievements for Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball to learn the ins and outs.

I can't wait to see what the plugin system will be capable of... If I could add my own menus and pause menus, I will be in heaven! I'd love to make something that uses the achievements dll and a high score dll, maybe even a GameEx chat app... C'mon Evo! Hurry up and come already!

The only thing is unless you change the game in the list, it won't update the achievements list. I noticed this earlier but I'll fix it. No big deal imho. Since Gens doesn't offer zip support apparently I'll add my own zip handling for the official release. The sign in problem is an RA problem, but he says he's still ironing out the bugs. Sometimes the API call spits out blank documents because his server gets bogged down, although they just changed hosts, so this will hopefully be fixed (or he found the memory leak and fixed it). :-) The black screen is because of the way GENS runs, none of the other emulators have this problem. I have to disable aero on my machine or it stutters which stinks. Too bad that emu is flaky, and KEGA isn't open source, Gens is a mess compared to what i'm used to... I'm probably gonna add a window utility to the FE that expands the window to full screen windowed mode to hide the desktop and turn off aero when it launches, since it doesn't allow command line args for things and there send to be a problem with achievement pop ups with gens in full screen mode. As long as it's hiding, launching, and restoring (and the also launch commands) are working okay, the rest is easy. Should have 1.0 out sometime next week hopefully. :-) Thanks for your help KRC. :-)

Not sure what you're doing here: hod3launch.exe Export your emulator settings please?

Anyone wanna beta test it? I've got it up and running enough where I'm willing to share it. I will enable the downloads and the keymapper support later, everything else is working. It's pretty simple, I'm sure you guys can figure out how it works. Let me know if you have any problems, I haven't had a chance to play a bunch of games and test it out. Thanks to Drac for the header logo on the launch form. Click on it and it'll take you to RetroAchievements.org If you choose to not enter your user information, the app will use a guest account to view stats and achievements, but it's so much better if you add your User Name and API key. After I add the last two features, I'll finish up the DLL and add support for launching games without having to click on stuff (ie cab friendly version via command-line). Enjoy, and please let me know if anyone hits a snag! RA_Launcher-Beta.zip

Do you have the option turned on in the emulator to look for a CD?

Well I'm not sure what you expect me to do without any sort of log file. Runitgame.bat would also be helpful so I could at least see your command line.

Well, if you're using my plugin, the command line for your emulator in GameEx is emulator.exe [dtloader] That's all there is to it, you don't need to set anything up in the plugin configuration. If you did set something up, erase the settings.xml in the GameEx > Plugins > DT Loader folder. In your case it should work out if the box.

In the GameEx folder is a Plugin Manager.exe Run that and put a check next to this plugin. Then follow the instructions. :-)

Another high score for KRC! Going one by one down the line? :-)

Use v4. It's the best option going forward. :-)

Taking the competition by storm I see. :-)

Then I would start here: http://www.gameex.info/forums/files/file/15-virtual-drive-loader/

Yes. There are several ways to accomplish this, but let's start at the beginning. Do you have Damon's Tools installed?

Well shucks. Nice one, krc!

As in the cloud, or did I miss a joke there? :-)

For Xpadder, do you have MESS set up to force Direct Input? You would have had to make that change when you compiled MESS (if hi compiled it). Not sure about save states, someone else will have to take that one.
