ClassicGMR Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 In my experience it may be better show *.bin or *.cue in your list, but not both. Typically I configure GameEx to omit the file extension from games in my game list, so if I was showing both the bin and cue files, I wouldn't know which one I was launching. Interestingly enough I've had better luck setting my filter to *.bin than I've had setting it to *.cue (which is totally counterintuitive, but true in my case). OTOH I mount my images through DaemonTools so that may also play a role here.Note that if you do mount your disc images through DaemonTools it will require a virtual SCSI drive and not the default DT drive.I realize this is a resolved topic but it's the same problem so I didn't want to start a new thread.I'd like GameEx to mount and unmount the images like you have working nullPointer but I can't seem to wrap my head around something here...I have ePSXe working outside of GameEx.* I have DTPro installed and set to mount SCSI virtual drives.* I mounted Tekken 2 which is three bin files and a cue file. It mounts to the E:\ drive. [Yes I own Tekken 2 as well as a bunch of other games for the PS1 - 57 at last count. Just want them to work on my emulator station.]* ePSXe runs it like a charm when selecting RUN CDROM.I tried to get ePSXe working inside of GameEx and I thought I had it working copying the command line above however it only works for games that have 1 bin and 1 cue... not multiple bins. Hot Shots Golf plays great whether I use the bin\cue or mount it. Tekken 2 will only work mounted. How does one get GameEx to mount the image before it runs? 7zip is set to YES in the picture but it doesn't work with a YES or NO.Here's what I have:
Draco1962 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 @ClassicGMR - I went ahead and split this into its own thread as the OPs issue for the original thread EPSX Help Please had been marked as a [RESOLVED] topic. I appreciate that you did not want to start a new thread, however, if issues are posted in those marked as [RESOLVED] or [NEWS], they are more likely to get passed over.
Bigby Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I am setting up Playstation too, but using PCSX-Reloaded. The before and after I used for Daemon Tools Lite are:""C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -mount scsi, 0,"[rompath]\[romfile]"""C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -unmount scsi, 0 1
nullPointer Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I imagine the solution proposed by Bigby will go along way towards getting you on the right track. Be aware that the command line for DTPro will differ slightly from the command used by DTLite (notably, the DTPro version of the executable is called DTAgent.exe). The provided links should provide some guidance regarding how to best configure your command line.
ClassicGMR Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 Draco - thanks for splitting it off. I haven't posted much here so wasn't sure about the etiquette on the boards.OK... I feel like I am almost home. Thanks again to everyone so far.The two lines that Bigby gave me - modified for DTAgent.exe - mounts and unmounts perfectly. I'm hitting what I think is one last snag. I run this command line:epsxe.exe -nogui -slowboot -loadbin "[-virtualdrive-]" -loadmemc0 "memcards\[rom]"and I get the following error:I'm thinking I am missing a switch that's not right.
nullPointer Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 epsxe.exe -nogui -slowboot -loadbin "[-virtualdrive-]" -loadmemc0 "memcards\[rom]"I can’t view the image of your error message since it’s blocked by my filter at work. ~ahem~ Among other things though, you don’t need the [-virtualdrive-] flag if you’re opting to manually mount the image via a Launch Before command.The [-virtualdrive-] flag in GameEx is intended to automatically mount your disc image to the DaemonTools drive. I’ve never had any luck getting the [-virtualdrive-] flag to mount to a SCSI drive which is required for ePSXe (thus the need for the Launch Before command - other users may have better luck in this regard). At any rate you don't want to use the [-virtualdrive-] parameter if you're already taking care of mounting the disc image via the Launch Before command.In practice you won’t specify the ROM in your emulator command at all. You’ll need to go into ePSXe itself, and configure your CDR plugin to point at the virtual drive you’re mounting images to. Then when you start ePSXe it will automatically run the image mounted to your virtual drive.Once all that happens the resulting command will probably look something like this:epsxe.exe -nogui -slowboot -loadmemc0 "memcards\[rom]"It’s been a while since I’ve looked at my ePSXe underpinnings, but if you need additional assistance in setting up ePSXe, I can post further suggestions when I get home this evening and have a chance to take a look at my own setup (or someone else may do so in the mean time). 1

Seems like I get close on a lot of these things and hit a wall. Here's my fully functional command line and my run before/after code:epsxe.exe -nogui -slowboot -loadmemc0 "memcards\[rom]""C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Pro\DTAgent.exe" -mount scsi, 0,"[rompath]\[romfile]""C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Pro\DTAgent.exe" -unmount scsi, 0Thank you to Bigby and nullPointer for the help. This community is excellent.
nullPointer Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 ... and there it is! Thank you so much for getting me over the hump. Seems like I get close on a lot of these things and hit a wall. We've all hit that wall a time or two. Glad to hear everything worked out!
