Evilforces Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hi all!!I'm trying to config my Atari 5200 and 7800 systems on Gameex, but when i launch a game a have a black screen and return to Gameex.I'm using Mess64. If i launch the games in Mess64ui the games work perfect.The command line i'm using is mess64.exe a5200 -cart "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" -joy -now -nonewui and mess64.exe a7800 -cart "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" -joy -now -nonewui.The roms are zipped, but i think mess can run games zipped.Thanks in advance.

Draco1962 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Can you post your emulator configuration, gameex.ini file and your log.txt file right after the issue occurs? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fRequEnCy Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Actually testing with runitgame.bat file will tell everything. Try following step 4B in the How to ask for Help pinned topic.Drop the -nonewui switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesk Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 What version of mess are you using? asking because as of 0143u4,messui is no longer included or supported.Try this CL,its is the one i usemess64.exe a7800 -cart "[Rompath]\[Romfile]"Also if you need a FE for setting up systems in mess,QMC2is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 The above responses are correct. With mess64, you don't want to use -nonewui switch. Also, make absolute sure you have your command as mess64.exe and not mess.exe. If you use the default setting from GameEx (when it auto downloads the settings), it uses mess.exe and doesn't work because you don't actually HAVE that program.Also, make sure all your paths are correct. One little mistake can cause it not to load too. This probably isn't the problem since you are getting a rom list though, but it doesn't hurt to double check.Lastly, you say your roms are zipped. Is that all they are? ZIPPED? If they're in 7z, you need to enable the 7z support in GameEx, as MESS doesn't unzip 7z yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Maybe Mess doesn't support 7z. But GameEx does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adultery Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'd say probably as the 7zip option in GameEx was needed and MESS supports zip, but of course he'll have to confirm this. Especially since they dropped support for the new UI, it might have been the switch was all that needed to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7zip/zip option is not needed to run the games, only deactivate the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
