Wonderful guide Thank you so much for posting. I'm trying all of this with the 140 source that has been posted here http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=237019&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1 It looks like the contents of render.c have slightly changed, but I applied the changes anyway and am compiling now. Too be more specific it has changed to this now. else { render_primitive *prim = list.alloc(render_primitive::QUAD); set_render_bounds_xy(&prim->bounds, 0.0f, 0.0f, (float)m_width, (float)m_height); set_render_color(&prim->color, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); prim->texture.base = NULL; prim->flags = PRIMFLAG_BLENDMODE(BLENDMODE_ALPHA); list.append(*prim); if (m_width > 1 && m_height > 1) { prim = list.alloc(render_primitive::QUAD); set_render_bounds_xy(&prim->bounds, 1.0f, 1.0f, (float)(m_width - 1), (float)(m_height - 1)); set_render_color(&prim->color, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); prim->texture.base = NULL; prim->flags = PRIMFLAG_BLENDMODE(BLENDMODE_ALPHA); list.append(*prim); } } I will update if all goes well Thanks so much !!!!!!!! I have been looking to do this for days.

Well a yes or no option would make both parties happy as it would be user controlled.

I totally agree 100% There should be a section called History that's selectable, then the text could fill the entire screen. The same way the other extras can be viewed. I would SO LOVE this

SUCCESS it's fixed by doing some searching Command=EPSXE.EXE -NOGUI -CDROM F LaunchBefore=""C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -mount 0,"[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"" LaunchAfter=cmd /c "C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -unmount 0 Thanks everyone for the help

Ok Tempest, Thank you for that thread and I think we are really close now to getting this running, After using those settings I'm getting an error. Manually unzipping a multi track bin/cue, mounting with DTLite.exe and choosing run CDROM option is successful getting in game. My settings are identical from other thread except some directories. I also tinkered around and tried different things but no success yet. Command Line EPSXE.EXE -NOGUI -CDROM F (my Daemon is Device 0: [F] ) Launch Before: ""C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -mount 0,"[RomPath]\[RomFile]"" Launch After: "C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -unmount 0 here is what's in Runitgame.bat G: CD "G:\EPSXE\EPSXE" @echo. @echo ""c:\program files (x86)\daemon tools lite\dtlite.exe" -mount 0,"G:\FTP\seedbox\[Redump.org] PSX (NTSC-U)\Unzipped7-Zip\Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (USA).cue"" @echo. @echo. @echo epsxe.exe -nogui -cdrom f @echo. @echo "c:\program files (x86)\daemon tools lite\dtlite.exe" -unmount 0 @echo.

I really appreciate you guys

Thank you very much Tempest. My working path was indeed incorrect and a re-run of the setup wizard pointing to the correct place and using ePSXe.exe -nogui[-VIRTUALDRIVE-] allowed me to get in game with some images Now that last of my problem. Some of my collection has multi track bin's which are not compatible with VCD http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2318/binsj.jpg Launching with the command-line will produce a black screen forever. (I left it 30 minutes +) However, Daemon can successfully mount cue that has multi track bin's so is the only way to create a bat file? @vsilvalopes I tried using your bat and replacing with my paths, but it always kicks me back to menu when picking a Game in GameEX. I think it hangs in the part where it executes the CD.. CD.. because I'm uncertain how to precisely make it jump to G:\temp My directories are as follows. C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe G:\Temp G:\EPSXE\EPSXE\ePSXe.exe I appreciate everyone's advice and help. Because of that I can get in game with some images and I'm really appreciative of that. Thanks everyone so much

Yes as soon as you posted I made the change to the 7za.exe properties, but same result happend. When choosing a .cue in GameEx the screen goes black for a moment then I get presented back in the GameEx menu again. 1. This is not correct. I have only 2 epsxe directories. G:\EPSXE\EPSXE the ePSXe.exe resides in G:\EPSXE\EPSXE 2 in Unzipped7-Zip directory is always the bin and cue both 1KB and 3 byte files. Interesting, I will try this approach because I don't really care if mounting is or is not used. As long as I can get games unzipped and running using GameEx is my priority. Perhaps for multi bin tracks mounting is a better solution anyway so I will work and try to achieve this. By putting [-VIRTUALDRIVE-] in command-line how are you telling GameEX which one you want used? I have the Virtual clone drive defaulted from GameEx install and Daemon Tools Lite? I'm currently working from home, but in 5-6 hours I will have time to tinker some more. Perhaps I will clean up some sub-directories so things are not so confusing and hopefully I will get results I'm looking for Thanks so much for everyone willing to take time and assisting me with this problem. You guys are very much appreciated

Thank you for that Tempest, Here is contents of run last game.bat I don't even see it attempting a 7zip operation even though I registered my GameEX and GamesIn7Zips=True Thanks too everyone who can help me figure this out, it's very much appreciated. G: CD "G:\EPSXE\EPSXE\ePSXe" epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin "G:\FTP\Server\PS1 games\Unzipped7-Zip\007 - The World Is Not Enough (USA).cue" Not sure if it will help, but here is my .ini settings.

Thanks very much for the helpful advice. Unfortunately, I get the same result after making the change to check run as administrator. I get black screen for a minute then it exits back to GameEX menu with bin and cue 1KB. My GameEX is installed to C:\GameEx I need to see if this can be changed to perhaps my G:\ because windows can be picky about automated things happening in C:\ even if UAC is disabled. Thanks alot for all the help. I'm gonna attempt a reinstall hopefully to different drive and hope that makes 7-zip work correctly. I'm sure at this point the command line works 100%, Thank you for that Almost on the way to getting this figured out.

@Jollywest Thanks alot for the settings and the help, I appreciate it. For some reason I'm still unsuccessful and I notice 7-zip screws up, because in the Unzipped7-Zip folder both the bin and cue files are 1KB size 3 bytes. When GameEX is closed and I manually unzip then manually launch epsxe and choose run ISO, it works and gets me in game. I wish I could figure out why it doesn't successfully unzip from within GameEX. Depending on game it takes me manually sometimes a few minutes or more so would it be a timeout setting in GameEX shutting-down before the unzip operation completes? If this setting exists how can I adjust it not to timeout? @vsilvalopes thanks for the batch. I will try it as soon as my paths are copied into it. Thanks so much for that. Does ePSXe.bat need to be in a specific place for GameEX to use it?

Yeah some of this is way over my head. If you could please provide the batch I'm willing to give it a go. Since GameEX has 7-zip support and already can unzip to unzipped folder I was assuming I just needed a specific command line that uses,7-zip,Daemon,then launches epsxe. Thanks alot for answering this thread

No sir, no pakiso or ecm tools. Mine are straight 7-zipped bin/cue I prefer to use Daemon tools but am willing to use VCD. Whatever it takes to play PS1 in GameEX I will do. I will keep experimenting until I get something that works. Thanks in advance for help and advice

Hi I'm a registered GameEX user and I have my collection of PS1 games 7-zipped in BIN/CUE (some multi track bin files) I have Daemon tools lite and also Virtual clone CD that has option to install with GameEX. VCD is drive I:\ and Daemon is drive F:\ I am unsure what command line settings should be, so if anyone else uses a similar setup, I could use some help please.

Very awesome. I can't wait to try this out. I hope I can be a beta tester

I notice in the GameEX menu it will show a random movie or system logo if no movies are present. I would like to change this to show a nice pic of the actual system and perhaps the logo would be cool as well. What's the best way to accomplish this? Also, does anyone have good sharp pics of NES/SNES/N64/NGB/GBC/GBA/SMS/SG/SCD/ ETC TY

Thank you very much That fix worked perfectly for me. Much appreciated, Thank You.

I just setup registered version of GameEX and everything works including MAME plus XT but I can't get Nestopia and BSNES to launch correctly. It just goes back to GameEX menu after a game is selected. Is there any special options that must be activated in those emulators to run in GameEX? manually running the emulators works correctly but GameEX can't launch them. Please help me !!! all paths are correct.
