thanks for this , but still having a problem .. i have made paths and made as .bat which makes the file look like a dos .exe but nothing happpens when i click it. e:\mame\Fusion v3.51\Fusion.exe "e:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\shining_force_cd" is the -scd-auto text needed ? e:\mame\Fusion v3.51\Fusion.exe "e:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\shining_force_cd" -scd -auto --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- also i tryed shortcuts but they dont work. this is my rom path -- and the iso is called shining_force_cd E:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\Shining Force (Eur) this is my emu path -- and the emu is called fusion E:\mame\Fusion v3.51 fusion i also fixed the path so its like this and its still not working , well i mean nothing happens when i try to run it. e:\mame\Fusion v3.51\Fusion.exe "e:\mame\SEGA CD ROMS\Shining Force (Eur)\shining_force_cd" -scd -auto also if i get this correct , how do i implement it into gameEX , do i just make lots of .bat files , put them in a folder and point my rom dir to that folder. from what i can see with the .bat files not working would this have somthing to do with my version of windows as its win xp and i have never really been able to run ms dos.exe's , when i click the screen just flashes. thanks for all your help
