As far as I know this has always happened with me too. It has never really been a concern of mine because I've got a powerful CPU and a ton of memory in my cab.

I would love to have a loader for Demul's Naomi games. Brian's loader for Demul's Atomiswave games works nicely, and it would be great to have one for Naomi 1 and 2 games. Also, Demul rotates the screen for vertical games and supports 2 players, both of which I don't think Makaron does. Demul runs the games much faster for me, I get a lot of slow down with Makaron when playing the fighting games, even though I'm using a Core2Duo E8500 overclocked at 4ghz.

Thanks! F8 worked great! meka hiney ho!

Thanks Brian, but I cannot get this to run inside of GameEX. It works perfectly outside of GameEx, but I get error messages and it crashes when run from GameEX. Can you please post your GameEx config for Makaron Naomi? Edit: Ok, I was able to finally get it to run, but here is still an annoying windows crash of Makaron when you ESC back to GameEx.

Can someone please point me to a thread that has a working GameEx config for Makaron Naomi? I tried searching the forum, and I've been reading posts for some time and still can't find anything. Thanks!

Demul hasn't locked up on me yet. Sometimes I lose the sound after playing a game for an extended time, and the credits don't always work right either. I will check out CHDMAN, thanks!

I've never been able to get Makaron figured out, or get NullDC(naomi)working, (I have NullDC dreamcast working fine) so that's why I've been using Demul. Plus Demul uses MAME roms, I don't believe either Makaron or NullDC-Naomi support anything other than iso's.

I'm having the same problems with some games, some just one credit works, others can't add credits at all. I'm also losing the sound in some games after a level or two. I am really hoping that someone is able to write up a launcher for the Naomi end of this emu in GameEx. There is a launcher available in the Demul forum, but it says that it doesn't work with GameEx.

Thanks Brian! I had no idea I had to write one up from scratch, never have had to do that before.

Thanks Brian. One last question, is there a way to get the game names to show on the GX list instead of the rom names? Thanks

Thanks for your fast reply Brian! For some reason it didn't work the first time I tried it, but its working great now! Thanks so much for this great loader, it works nice. The two problems I'm having now is that most of the games seem to crash after a few minutes, and that the games on the game list are the rom names, not the game name. Do you have any suggestions for settings that will help with this? btw, If you are thinking of doing a Namoi loader for this emu I would definitely be interested in it. Thanks!

Hello, Can someone please post their GX config for this loader? I can't seem to get it working inside of GX Thanks!

Hey Tempest, the Tskill command worked great! I will hang on to your script just in case I have any more issues. Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate it!

Ok I found it, but it was in the GameEX/Data folder. I did what you suggested, and here is what I get: with the script- d: CD "d:\nulldc" nulldc_1.0.3_nommu.exe -config imagereader:defaultimage="C:\dreamcast/Soul Calibur.cdi" c:\closejoytokey\close joytokey.ahk ERROR MESSAGE: 'c:\closejoytokey\Close' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file with the tskill command- d: CD "d:\nulldc" nulldc_1.0.3_nommu.exe -config imagereader:defaultimage="C:\dreamcast/Soul Calibur.cdi" tskill.exe /F /IM JoyToKey.exe ERROR MESSAGE: invalid parameters Any ideas what I should try now? Thanks!

Where exactly do I find this "runitgame.bat"? I tried using notepad.exe in launch after, and that worked. So I guess its the tskill or the script that you wrote that are not working.

I have ArcadeVGA and the VGA connector goes to my Cabinet arcade monitor and the DVI connector goes to my HDTV. I don't know about any benefits, but everything works fine and looks good for me.

Hey Tempest, I tested Tskill and it did not work. I then tested your script, and it did not work either. I was wondering if "Launch After" was working in GameEx, so I put a random exe program in there, and it did not launch after I exited the emu. Could this be a GameEx issue with Launch After?

Hi Tempest, thanks again for your help. I am at work now, I will try this later when I get home. The OS I am using is WinXP home.

Yes, I am using Launch After in the emulator config. I just tired the command you suggested, and it still does not kill joytokey when I exit a game.

Thanks for you reply! Ok, we are almost there! "Also Launch" works nicely, joytokey starts up, but the Taskkill in "Launch After" does not work. I typed the taskkill exactly how you listed it (exe=JoyToKey.exe). When I escape from a game back to the GameEx menu, joytokey is still running so it messes up the navigation/buttons in GameEx. Any other ideas on how I can kill joytokey when I exit a game?

Hi, thanks for the link. I have read that before, and I re-read it again to see if I missed anything, which I did not. Xpadder does not seem to work for me for some reason, but after much time and effort I have finally got everything working using joytokey. I have to use pretty much random keys on the keyboard, it seems like there are a number of keys that the emu does not like and will not work with. Now I have a new GameEx related problem. I set joytokey to "run before", but it does not start when the emu starts up. If I start joytokey before starting GameEx, all the menu keys, etc are all messed up in GameEx. What I would like to do is run joytokey when a game is selected, and kill joytokey when the game is exited. Is this possible, and if so how would I do this from within GameEx? Thanks!

I have tried tons of different keys, and they all config fine. I have tried all the plugins, and it's always the same. I can't get it working with the controller, keyboard or the IPAC.

Stuck on select meaning I can enter the date just fine, but when I try pushing select with any button, it just beeps and does nothing. I've tried replacing the bios and flash files, and I have tried every option in the maple configs (which all config fine). The previous version of NullDC worked fine, this problem is only with the newest version 1.0.3.

I just tried this, and it did not fix this. I am still stuck on "select" in the date entry when nulldc first starts up. Any other ideas?

I have the same exact problem. I posted here a few weeks ago, but did not receive a reply.
