PluginLaunch issue

[Krakerman]

I am trying to use the following command for mame launch before:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -wallpaperloadprofile ""[ROM]""

Launch After:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -wallpaperloadprofile "Default Profile"

Doesn't work however it works if I use it in my emulator configs just not if I use the PluginLaunch plugin.

Any idea?

[Krakerman]

I will try Adultery's MAME Commander 2 and see if I have better luck. Maybe not crashes right away.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I'm only using MAME64 0.149 nogui version that I compiled using the MAME Compiler 64. Crahes as soon as I check the emulator override box in MAME Commander 2.

I can get this command line to work in the Launch before and after in the MAME settings but when I set it up using Ben's PluginLaunch plugin it doesn't work.

I tried every possible combination and no go so this is leading me to believe that this plugin in broken.

[Adultery]

I think it may be an issue with quotes. I'll look into it.

[Adultery]

So as I look at the code, I right away take notice of the following:

[ROM] isn't even a supported variable. You need to use [ROMNAME] if you're attempting to sub in the rom's file name without the extension. I put this version together, not Tom. So, in a nutshell, Tom and I don't do everything exactly the same. Next time, make sure you RTFM! Lol!

In case you were unaware, there is also a HELP button on the form that shows a description of each supported variable as well:

[Krakerman]

I already did that and took the [ROM] out and used [ROMNAME] and still no go. Also took the quotes out and it doesn't work.

I saw the Help button and used that. Thanks for looking into it my friend I guess I need Ben to look at it and maybe there is something I'm doing wrong but I have tried about everything.

Unless of course you want to take a stab at creating a multi-launch plugin! (hint hint)

[Adultery]

I have the source for this, so I might still be able to fix this. I'll need to do some debugging to see what is going wrong where. Hold on.

[Krakerman]

Thanks!

[Adultery]

Could you post up the log file and the ini for me to use in testing?

[Krakerman]

The strange thing is it says can't find file but that same command line works in the launch before? So I'm confused but here you go.

[Krakerman]

One thing to note is DisplayFusion needs the " (quotes) in the command line to work. So it needs to look like:

C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe -wallpaperloadprofile "pacman"

That might be the problem since PluginLaunch isn't passing the quotes in the command line it. So when using double quotes it just ignores them I guess where as Launch Before/After doesn't.

[Adultery]

I'm working on something new. I can't maintain Ben's code like I can my own. I am going to approach this a little differently and see if I can't come up with a better solution to this plugin (maybe not better per se, but in a way I can more easily manage/maintain the code).

Nothing on Ben, but his stuff is just too fierce for an amateur like me (see way out of my league).

[Krakerman]

Thanks for having a look at it and looking forward to seeing what you come up with. You don't give yourself enuff credit as I thing your work is beyond amateurish my friend.

[Adultery]

Nice try! Flattery will get you everywhere!

I was thinking something like this perhaps...

[Krakerman]

Very nice indeed! Love it can't wait to give it a test run!

[Adultery]

Well, you don't have to wait anymore Krak.

That error happened when I clicked on Edit before I clicked Add ... Oops sorry! Maybe needs a trap there just in case someone does that so it pops up a box saying you need to Add before you can start or something to that effect. But it is working great so far as I tested Display Fusion with MAME and it's running good.

Love it thanks Adultery!!

[Krakerman]

So can we have more than 1(multiple) Launch Before/After for the same emulator I take it?

[Adultery]

Yup, you can have as many as you want as long as the names are different.

Yeah that was a start to finish plugin in >12 hours. I still want to do some finishing touches on it like tab stops. I'll fix that edit button and the remove button issue tonight probably.

Glad it's working for you. Let me know if you hit any other snags.
