bkenobi is yet again correct...hehe he's on a roll. What does your commandline look like in the shortcut maybe I can whip up a quick wrapper to do what you need.

AngelicPenguin - Map files can be found here, and bkenobi is correct it has to be setup independently of Mame. bkenobi - Just noticed your from Bothell..hehe howdy neighbor.

Okay I haven't gotten around to actually setting things up....I know boo hiss. Any ways I was looking at just what you have posted...and it appears you are having Daemon Tools mount the *.uae files rather than the ISO's, since your rom path is set to where the *.uae files are stored...now I'm assuming that WinUAE is aware of where the *.uae files are...since in your commandline it doesn't hold the pathing information. Anyways I put in a fake path to the ISO's and changed your commandline a bit. Hopefully you'll be closer to getting things going. With luck I'll be able to get things actually setup here in an hour or so and be able to actually post some thing with actual know-how rather than guess work. EMU_14_ROMFilter=*.iso EMU_14_RomsInFolders=False EMU_14_RomPath=C:\Emus\Amiga A500\WinUAE\CD32 ISO's\ EMU_14_WorkingPath=C:\Emus\Amiga A500\WinUAE\ EMU_14_MapKeys=True EMU_14_ReplaceDash=False EMU_14_ReplaceUnder=True EMU_14_Capitals=False EMU_14_RemoveBrackets=True EMU_14_ShowDesktop=False EMU_14_Debug=False EMU_14_Command=winuae.exe -f [Rom].uae EMU_14_CustomBackground=Amiga CD32.png EMU_14_PlayMusic=False EMU_14_LaunchBefore="C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe" -mount 0,"[RomPath]\[RomFile]" EMU_14_LaunchAfter="C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe" -unmount 0

Check this thread for information on how to setup deamon tools. Share the steps you took thus far for getting CD32 running and I'll see if I can't catch up and lend a hand on trouble shooting.

Well some times saving $10 will cost you $50 Well if your disassembling the X-Arcade...you would be doing the same amount of work as I was suggesting. Actually if possible you never want to break down stuff to move it, unless its absolutely to fragile to move other wise. Trust me on this, I've worked for Allied Vanlines for decades as fill in work. If it can fit through the door leave it be. Just strap it to a refrigerator dolly, and get another person to help you out and things should be fine. Find a tight corner...lay down a sleeping bag or comforter (replacements for mover blankets) and set the cab on it and drag it around the corner. Other wise your prone to lost parts, stripped holes, and breakage that would other wise not have happened. I'm personally not fond of cheap PC cases...I've spilled more blood because of those things while working as a admin\tech than I ever did working as a carpenter...that includes the time I cut off part of a finger. Hehe there is a reason those things are cheap. Any ways do what you will with my advice...but best of luck with your project and having an Arcade Cabinet while in college is very cool.

Over all you seem future proof, so no need for me to harp on that old dog again. BioStar isn't that great of a name brand...you would likely fair better with Abit, Asus, Gigabyte, Fic, Tyan,...I'm always leary of dead boards and lack of bio's\driver updates. Never heard of FSP...tho I'm not big into power supply research...I tend to lean more towards 400W+ but thats not likely required here. X-Arcade is a PS2 hookup if I recall, ideally you want your keyboard to be on the PS2 port, also you can find it at Fry's for like $100 but I'd still lean towards hand picking your parts to put together your own control panel which if you are looking to have the same options as those available on the X-Arcade would likely come in at the same price point. Also I don't think you need a case for the hardware...you should be able to find motherboard mounts that you can simply mount the motherboard on the side of the cab for like $1, and then you can likely find 3.5 to 5.25 hard drive solid adapter bays for like $8 that you can also surface mount to the cab...this will save money, keep parts cooler, and make cleaning out the unit every few months a breeze...just open it up and let loose with the canned air...and watch the dust bunnies fly. I'd also lean towards finding a PS2 keyboard that has an integrated touch pad...rather than going with a mouse & keyboard combo...it may or may not cost more...but it will certainly keep things neater and easier to maintain. Main thing from the above list...is see about a better brand for the motherboard...still like to push you in the direction of dual core tho. bkenobi - Well said.

Okay...but you make emulation sound like its on par with sending email. I think your going to give your self more headaches than whats really required. I really suggest you buy actual arcade joysticks. I really suggest putting in 3 hours extra at work to buy a full gig of ram I really suggest you don't buy a sound card. I really suggest you do buy a modern motherboard with sound and video on it I really suggest you do buy a 64bit dual core cpu...put in another 3 hours of work to pay for it. 32bit & 64bit OS = Same Price This in the end will save you time, headaches and likely more money in the future.

ahhh dang it. Heh don't think I listed any thing as required. There is actually a fair amount of Emu's starting to add support for multi-processor\multi-core. A 64bit OS...thats some thing not really making a dent in Emu's yet other than a PS2 Emu...which isn't likely to be played on a cab. ram is going to cost you the same more or less no matter how new or old your CPU is...same goes for motherboard...this is assuming one is buying tho...if hand-me-downs are available...then this is mute. Just checked as pricewatch.com $175.00 - athlon xp 3000 $172.88 - core 2 duo e4300 $165.00 - athlon 64 x2 4400 am2 64bit, dual core, faster...and $2-$10 cheaper. Your right tho a XP 3000+ is fast enough for the bulk of the Emu's out there.

OS WinXP64 unless you already have a copy of WinXP Pro or Home...I'd leave the services unless the thing is really hard up, to avoid unnecessary issues. CPU AMD64\X2 or Intel CoreDuo RAM 1gig any speed just as long as it fits in the motherboard. Video onboard is fine if its like nVidia 6150 or better other wise nVidia 6600 or ATI\AMD XT1300 or above; generally an independent card isn't required. Sound onboard is generally fine these days. The PC mainly try to future proof your self as much as possible...but go cheap (but with name brands) Display is more personal pref...you want it to look like an actual arcade system...or do you want high resolutions as on a PC...both have pro's and cons. I'd generally recommend HAPP joysticks...not because they are the best...but good quality for the price...and its more important to get the thing built than have every possible kick ass part possible. Really I'd try to spend the most towards the display rather than other parts...as the lesser parts are more prone to being replaced...and don't have as much impact subjectively as the display will. Wells Gardner D9200 is a nice arcade display hocked up to a ArcadeVGA 2 would make for a pretty picture. Other stuff to make things simple but pricy: GP-Wiz MAX 32 Input USB Controls Interface Opti-Wizâ?¢ Trackball and Spinner Interface LED-Wizâ?¢ 32-port USB Lighting and Output Controller (not required but very nice) NovaGemâ?¢ Lightable Horizontal Pushbutton (dependat on above) Electric ICE-Tâ?¢ Deluxe RGB Arcade Trackball (dependat on above) TurboTwist 2â?¢ Arcade Spinner Control or SlikStik Tornado Spinner Mag-Stik Plus ACT LABS light gun SlikStik Custom Monitor Brackets However these are simply my thoughts...which are from someone that hasn't built a cab.

Yes its more stable...however I guess I'll avoid sendkeys unless required to. Again thanks for the effort.

Nope didn't do the trick...about the same difficulty triggering the error as prior. I'll try to beat it up on the MCE box since it has fewer things running in the background (apps, services,...) Thanks for the effort tho.

Okay beat the hell out of it...and I did get the error again...but it seemed like it was harder to trigger. This was with build 7.71

Well thus far without sendkeys no issues.

here you go

Well got the same error yet again with 7.65 release...on the XP box...have yet to try the MCE one.

See if the attached will do the trick. Also check here and here. A more direct link to logo's as posted by nexus6. Others: link link link link link

Dang some impressively quick updates. Heh need to buy you more gear more often.

Well I have idea's...they very in quality and quantity.

Looking that over its mildly malformed. Should look like so: Actually I could alter one of my older scripts to dig up all the dirt on save types for each game thats currently released...not sure if there is an interest or not.

LOL I did Any ways good to see we got that issue resolved.

Seems there is a way as is...tho I'm unsure how you go about getting the game code....unless they are talking about release number...but I've seen different listings that don't match. ahh hhaa Hehe found out loading the rom and going "File\Rom Information..." from the menu's

There is most certainly an easier and cleaner way. The question is what emulator and does it have any command line options that can be used to set these values upon runtime? Next question is if I get you setup with a base workable setup...will you flush the rest out and share with the rest here? Heh I'm tied up with things right now...so unless there is a cut and dry list of what needs to be done with what...you or some one else will likely have to pick up the slack.

Mounting does actually work...tho I use a different setup. I use SSF for emulation, and I converted all my cue+iso+wav files into a single NRG files that are mounted by deamontools. You can find my files in the config thread...I think its page 4 of it.

I have no intention of supporting vista. However even if I wanted to it would still come down to AutoIt supporting vista...since source code is released. Hehe so I don't have much say in what others do with it.
