Still no luck with this one infrared. The screen goes black and then goes back to GameEx. whick cdwrapper are you using. I am not sure if this makes a difference or not? I got mine from the lazarus website i think( it was a while ago).

Here Is my Wrapper.

Do you Daemon tools Installed? Do you have AutoMount and Analog Audio Selected under the options menu for Daemon Tools? Sorry to be asking you so many questions at once.! In the directory where your wrapper is, is there a *.ini file or *.cfg in it? You may also have to open that ini file in order to configure the wrapper.

It should look like this.....

*** Do not remove these lines preceeded with ***

*** Full Path to the Daemon Tools Executable ***

D:\Programs\dTools\daemon.exe

*** Full Path to MagicEngine Installation Folder ***

D:\Emulate\magicengine\

*** Full Path to MagicEngine Executable ***

D:\Emulate\magicengine\SuperCD.bat

I have it setup the same as you. It looks like you are using batch files. Could you show me how you have one of these setup so I can modify it for my Config.

Thanks

**mattpist** · March 1, 2006

what is this 'wrapper' you're talking about? i see a 'magicenginecdwrapper.exe' in your config, but i can't seem to find it on the web. perhaps some more detail about how to get the iso/bin/cue or whatever to mount before it's loaded into the emulator would be helpful

**jedah** · March 1, 2006

I got my wrapper here.

**Judgelord** · March 2, 2006

Infared, what should it have in the file "SuperCD.bat"?

Thanks man.

**jedah** · March 2, 2006

Yes Night could you tell us what is in the SuperCD.Bat file. Also what version of Daemon tools are you using. I cant see the option on mine for analog audio. I am using 4.00HE.

Just to load the system card 3.0 image automatically.

**Judgelord** · March 3, 2006

Thanks a lot Infared!

**jedah** · March 3, 2006

Judgelord . Could you post your config. I still cant get this to work.

Cheers in advance

after trying a ridiculous amount of things, i still cant get this to work. Daemon tools gives me a security message asking me to confirm mounting the image, so the emulator says there's no cd in the drive. turning off security in daemon tools just makes the emulator sit there saying "just a moment..." and just sits there until i hit escape.

i tried doing this with alchohol 120 by changing the configuration in gameex to have the alchohol mount the image and run the supercd.bat file like so:

"C:\Program Files\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120\AxCmd.exe" G: /M:"[RomPath]\[Romfile]" @"D:\Emulators\me099-english-beta5\SuperCD.bat"

with the same effect as daemon tools. with the image still mounted (in alcohol) i start pce.exe, and it runs fine.

EDIT: i just tried using the "launch before" and "launch after" commands in the gameex config to mount and unmount the image in daemon tools before and after running PCE with the following command line:

Pce.exe "D:\Emulators\me099-english-beta5\syscard3.pce"

i checked daemon tools while pce is still trying to load the cd and it's mounting and unmounting the image fine, but there's still no effect in pce.... :wacko:

ive been working this for hours... and this emulator just doesn't want to recognize freshly mounted cds it seems. it's really frustrating, so any help would be appreciated!

**mattpist** · April 6, 2006

okay, so i *FINALLY* got a working configuration for this! it basically involves mounting the turbografx cd before running the emulator and unmounting it after closing the emulator with the "launch before" and "launch after" options:

i believe the reason this works now, is that i upgraded to magic engine 1.0 PR or whatever it's called. now it recognizes that there's a cd in the virtual drive, as apposed to 0.99, which just freezes. i recommend upgrading... also there are all sorts of new video setting available in the latest version.

also, the command line boots the emulator directly into the system card, which is really important. you're going to want to make sure to edit your pce.ini file to specify *only* your virtual drive.

Ok, this is really getting on my nerves. I cannot get GameEX to load the Turbografx CD games no matter what I do. I've used the config file posted on this site, I've set all my settings to what has been said, and nothing works. The config posted above has the rompath going to a directory titled Turbografx CD roms, which makes no sense if you're booting from a disk. Also, GameEX has changed a lot, so half the things listed in the config aren't even listed in the newest version of GameEX. Does anyone have a new config file for the TG-CD? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

**LucasBarton** · August 19, 2007

By the way, should GameEX boot straight to the game, or just to the PC Engine CDROM2 Press Start screen?

**Nologic** · August 20, 2007

I think its suppose to boot directly to the game...I don't have this setup up currently.

Main thing is to make sure ME is set to check the correct CD\DVD drive.

Maybe refer to this thread for more info.

It make perfect sence. The rom filter is *.CUE (meaning that the game list will show all his isoz) the rom path is simply the folder where the said isoz are.

I know how you can get confused ny the whloe ROM thing but gameex need to call it somthing.

Are your isoz in Bin/cue format? The settings mentioned in gameex are still in there. Please post your config. Your Symptoms...

I'll look into this and create a tutorial.. I need to find the emu and a couple isoz first so it might take a little time.

Please dont get discouraged as Im sure this will be up and running for you in no time.

Brian I think his trying to use physical disc's rather than disc binary images.

**Brian Hoffman** · August 20, 2007

Brian I think his trying to use physical disc's rather than disc binary images.

Oh ok.... I guess there would be no rom filter then... Hed be better off making a bat file then. Then of courese his romfilter would be *.bat

Or ripping his cd to bin/cue might be a good choice.

I guess Ill hold off till I get more info.

I'm trying to play the actual discs through Magic Engine 1.0. I don't know how to make a bat file, unfortunately. I'm not a computer wiz like some people around here. Any additional info would be great.

**Nologic** · August 21, 2007

Okay I guess that other thread I linked you to wasn't of any interest.

Import the INI contained in this archive.

Correct the pathing to your Emu executable, in the "Working Path" field.

Correct the "Command Line" field to contain the correct Super System CD card name, thats placed next to your executable.

Enjoy
