[RESOLVED] Launch After Command Running Before Emulator Fully Loads


nullPointer

Recommended Posts

I’m having an issue with my Playstation (ePSXe)* setup. I’m hoping a second set of eyes on the issue may help to resolve it. My problem is that GameEx is running my ‘Launch After’ parameter before the emulator has a chance to get fully loaded. Due to my setup this makes it impossible for the game to even load (it’s unmounting the disc image before the emulator starts). Notably, it doesn’t return focus to GameEx, it runs the ‘Launch Before’ command, then the emulator command, then immediately runs the ‘Launch After’ command. It doesn’t return focus to GameEx until I actually exit the emulator (which just hangs at the PlayStation loading screen) .

My emulator config is a bit convoluted, but in this case I’m afraid it may be necessarily so. In brief, I’m running a special build of ePSXe/ePSXeCutor for the purpose of running my multi-disc Playstation games (using a different emulator is sadly not an option in this case – see the disclaimer if you’re interested).

  • My Launch Before parameter launches a batch file which mounts the image [ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE] in DaemonTools and starts Xpadder. (I haven’t had any luck with either [-VIRTUALDRIVE-] or [VIRTUALDRIVE]:\ after having renamed the virtual drive manufacturer to ‘DTSOFT’, etc. so that may be significant)

  • My GameEx command starts ePSXeCutor where the [ROM] parameter specifies the proper configuration settings to use.

  • ePSXeCutor then launches ePSXe which is setup to run against the disc image in the default drive (Daemon Tools ). This requires an Advanced Emulator Config which is setup to monitor the ePSXe.exe so that GameEx doesn’t take over once ePSXeCutor has done its thing.

  • Lastly my Launch After parameter launches a batch file which unmounts theDaemon Tools image and closes Xpadder. So without further ado here’s my emulator config for this beast:

Here’s a runitgame.bat illustrating the issue. Please note that if I remove the ‘Launch After’ line everything works just fine here. So yeah, it definitely works outside of GameEx.

09:17:15.6 2/28/2012: Bye

I’m going to keep plugging away to see if I can make heads or tails of it, but at this point I’d sure appreciate a second set of eyes on the issue. If necessary I can certainly post my 'Launch Before' and 'Launch After' batch scripts (or if anyone is interested), but they seem to be working fine outside of GameEx so I'm relatively certain that they aren't the culprit.

Thanks in advance for any advice given! :D

:ph34r: * Disclaimer: Regarding ePSXe – I typically use pSX within GameEx for PlayStation emulation, since it’s a great emulator (and probably the easiest to use via frontend). In this case however, using pSX is not an option. I’m using the Disc Combination Kits seen here to combine my multi-disc games into one bin/cue (at least for those that would typically require a disc switch at some point during play). In doing so the emulator needs to be able to read a much larger disc image (DVD5), which of course was not possible on the original hardware, and thus is also not possible with most PlayStation emulators (it results in unreachable/unreadable sectors). In order to run the larger disc images, I’m using a special enhanced version of ePSXe, which is the only emulator I’m aware of that can do so (makes sense since it was written by the same guy that made the Disc Combination Kits). :ph34r:

The problem here seems like you're launching something other than the emu first and GameEx is watching your "loader" instead of the emulator and launching the "launch after" command after the loaded executes.

I would try using either an advanced config and fix the watched process or whip up a bat file. :)

I tried answering without opening your spoilers so let me know if it sticks or not. If not I'll go in for a closer look. :)

Hi Adultery. Thanks for having a look at this. I think you may have missed this though:

  • ePSXeCutor then launches ePSXe which is setup to run against the disc image in the default drive (Daemon Tools ). This requires an Advanced Emulator Config which is setup to monitor the ePSXe.exe so that GameEx doesn’t take over once ePSXeCutor has done its thing.

And this:

Here’s my Advanced Emulator Config (ePSXe_Shark.ini):

# This is an advanced emulator configuration file. It does things such as allow keyboard only emulators to be operated by a gamepad, wait for additional processes to exit and map keys. If this file is used it overrides the MAPKeys setting for the emulator.

I can’t say I really blame you though; I’m a bit guilty of posting a wall of text from time to time. :unsure:

So yeah before I was using the Advanced Emulator Config, GameEx immediately stole back focus from the emulator. After implementing the Advanced Emulator Config, the emulator stays in focus, but it just doesn’t run anything since the disc image has already been unmounted via the ‘Launch After’ command.

Having said all of that, maybe a batch file would be just the ticket. I'll give 'er a go and let you know what I find out. Thanks! :D

Ohh man I missed an obvious question here! I saw you were using a loader for sure. Why wouldn't you use your integrated GameEx support for DTools instead of using a launch before/after? Just add either [-VIRTUALDRIVE-] or [VIRTUALDRIVE]:\ to your command line and let Tom's new EXE do that. :)

It wasn't your wall of text that made me skim it, it was a nearly dead phone battery. :)

I have definitely tried. Oh man have I tried, but I haven’t had much luck as of yet. I’ve tried using both [-VIRTUALDRIVE-], and [VIRTUALDRIVE]:\. I’ve renamed the manufacturer of my virtual drive to ‘DTSOFT’, although in my version of Daemon Tools Lite (which I believe is the current version) this is listed as the ‘vendor’ rather than the 'manufacturer'. This distinction may indicate that I still haven’t renamed the manufacturer correctly, so that’s still a possible lead.

However, I had already moved on to mounting via batch file by the time I realized that images actually were being mounted, they were just being immediately unmounted. So I dunno, it’s certainly possible that the [-VIRTUALDRIVE-] stuff was working and I just didn’t realize it at the time. I’ll tool around a bit more with the [-VIRTAULDRIVE-] command and see what I can come up with.

If nothing else, your previous post gave me an idea for a batch script that would probably do the trick (so long as each game has its own batch – not a problem since I’m only running a small number of games under this emulator). The downside is, I think that my idea would require a batch script and an Advanced Config File, so I certainly wouldn’t be winning any awards for clear and concise execution.

Just out of curiosity, does the [-VIRTUALDRIVE-] command unmount the running image for you when you exit the emulator under normal circumstances?

It does indeed. :)

In my case, SSF loads after a message box from GameEx (you would def notice this happening since it displays while GameRx is mounting), and after the game exits the disc is unmounted.

Any chance you could easily do a full uninstall and reinstall of DTools with the default settings? This is too weird that its happening for you too because GamePimp had a very similar issue but Freq was able to get it righted.

As for using game specific batch files, you could just use one and bring in the rom info as a variable, no?

MyBatFileLoader.bat "[ROMPath]\[ROMFile]â?? "[ROM]"

/start bat

epsxeloader.exe

dtools.exe -mount %1 (or what have you)

xpadder.exe â??%2â??

/end bat

That assumes you have game specific profiles for xpadder of course.

A brief update on this problem. After saying that I had the most recent version of Daemon Tools Lite I thought I better double check. As luck would have it an update was available. When applied the update it installed a new DT Drive (whereas before I was only running with a single SCSI virtual drive). Once the DT drive was installed the [-VIRTAULDRIVE-] command started working for me like magic. It successfully mounted my image to the DT drive (same results for [VIRTUALDRIVE]:\). So yay for that! However, my version of ePSXe only recognizes the SCSI virtaul drive (that's why I was only running the one SCSI drive). Boo! <_< I wonder if there's anyway to specify DT or SCSI using the [-VIRTUALDRIVE-] command (possible feature request? :))

So that's one mystery solved, and I'm super pumped that the [-VIRTUALDRIVE-] command will work for me under certain circumstances. Looks like I still need to figure out an alternate workaround in this case though. I'll do some further experiments with batch files later tonight. I'll post back with results as they happen.

Thanks for all your help Adultery!

So DTools won't work at all if you change the drive type? Hmm...

Sounds like the loader needs some tweaking. :ğ

I'm not so sure it's a problem with ePSXeCutor (although to be honest I'd sooner take on manually mounting my disc images for ePSXe than I would give up the 'set it and forget it' approach to plugins that ePSXeCutor affords). There's some fairly solid evidence to suggest that ePSXe requires a SCSI drive when used in conjunction with Daemon Tools.

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Sony Playstation

; ePSXe v1.7.0

; by Shateredsoul/Brolly/djvj

; 1.3

;

; Notes:

; epsxe can't deal with bin/cue dumps with more than one audio track if you load the cue file directly.

; For these to work you must mount the cue on daemon tools and let epsxe boot the game from there.

; You need to make sure you have a SCSI virtual drive on Daemon Tools, NOT a DT one.

. . .

Man this emulator is a pain in the ass (but I'm still pretty pumped to do away with disc switching, so it's a necessary evil I suppose). Any hoo, looks like ePSXe in particular won't work with [-VIRTUALDRIVE-] unless one is able to specify a scsi drive as part of the parameter (wish I had found that documentation earlier). Thanks again for all your help on this. Still haven't tested out using a batch file to handle the entire load process, but it looks to be a winner. I'll update once I get a chance to try it out (I don't see why it souldn't work). Thanks again! :)

Edit: I sort of wonder whether this is due to some PlayStation roms being encoded with LibCrypt protection. This might fall under the following category:

SCSI virtual devices are used to emulate advanced disc images with special signatures (RMPS, SafeDisc, SecuROM, LaserLock). So now you can use DAEMON Tools Lite to emulate backup images of your protected discs.

As seen here. I'm definitely hypothesizing here, but maybe this is a compatibility measure on the part of ePSXe?

Just wanted to provide a quck update. Adultery's idea for a batch file worked out perfectly. I currently run a lot of my emulators with Pre-Launch and Exit batch processes, so in this instance I just extended that idea to also include a Launch batch process. Here's how I divided everything up:

Pre-Launch Batch (Launch Before)


:: Use "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" parameter to mount the current image in Daemon Tools
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -mount scsi, 0, "%~1"

:: Launch ePSXe Xpadder profile
start "" "E:\Emulation\Emulators\ePSXe v1.70\batch\Open_Ctrlr_ePSXe.lnk"

Launch Batch (Emulator Command)


:: Launch ePSXeCutor using the [ROM] parameter
start "" "E:\Emulation\Emulators\ePSXe v1.70\ePSXeCutor_shark.exe" "%~1"

:: Wait 5 seconds before exiting the batch process.
:: This will buy some time for ePSXe.exe to start up
:: (at which point the advanced config knows it's running)
:: Note that this command only works in Vista and above
timeout 5

Exit Batch (Launch After)


:: Unmount the current Daemon Tools image
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -unmount scsi, 0

:: Close the loaded Xpadder profile
start "" "E:\Emulation\Utilities\batch\ExitXpadder.lnk"

Huge ups to Adultery for helping me work through this one, and for providing the spark of inspiration that ended up working like a champ. :D

EDIT: Marked as resolved. Yee Haw!
