Trouble getting into Demul

[drunkenpirateking]

So, I just decided to jump into Demul for my Naomi/Atomiswave stuff. I can run everything just fine outside of GameEx. In GameEX, I can get it to launch, but I get to the Rom Loading menu and then it stops. For example, for my Naomi stuff, I get to the screen that one gets to if you do file>load naomi and then the list of all the games comes up. From there I can select a game and everything loads up fine, but surely there is a way to automatically load the rom from gameex without that extra step.

My command line is - demule.exe -run=naomi -rom=[rompath]/[romfile]

for naomi. Replace naomi with atomiswave for atomiswave.

It does the same thing from command line, so I figure I'm doing something in the command line, but I can't figure out what, or I have to change something in Demul to autoload. Any ideas?

[smd111]

for naomi/atomiswave/model 3 yjis is the command line

demul.exe -run=naomi/atomiswave/model3 -rom=[ROM]

ware [rom] is the short name for the game you want to play

i.e. if you wanted to play 19 wheeler dx you would use "18wheelr" (with out the "")

all the names are listed in demul's dialog

but first you need to add your rom folders to the rom list on the plugin select screen

Set Zip/7-Zip/Goodmerge to NO in Advanced Emulator Setup.

[drunkenpirateking]

Er, sorry. It's been set to "no" the whole time. I started a whole new emulator slot (if that's the right terminology) after smd replied, just to make sure everything was fresh as I had been fiddling around and wanted to make sure I wasn't tripping myself up with some setting I wasn't seeing. Still getting as far as the "Select Rom" menu.

Did you get any further with this - now I'm stuck with it!

[stigzler]

Scrap that. Why is it as soon as you post on here, things sort!?

My finally working cmd:

DEmul.exe -run=naomi -rom=[ROM]

My dodgy one:

DEmul.exe -run=naomi -rom=[ROM]

Can YOU tell the difference? I sure couldn't. One extra space!

I swear this hobby is gonna drive me potty. I'm too old for pedantic crap!

Hope this helps someone
