Daemon Tools Support

[Stu1983]

Hey everyone, after moving house I finally got around to unpacking my cabinet.

I thought I would give it a good test run before everyone is around for my birthday this weekend.

I updated to the latest version but now GameEx fails to mount with my Daemon Tools.

The log says:

00:37:48.5  19/09/2013:  Mounting: E:\Sega Saturn\Roms\Alien Trilogy.mds00:37:48.5  19/09/2013:  Mounting: E:\Sega Saturn\Roms\Alien Trilogy.mds00:38:25.3  19/09/2013:  Unable to mount ISO. Did you install ISO Support when installing GameEx?

When GameEx first added support for Daemon Tools I had trouble but I got it sorted with Tom's help.

I've checked and my drive still has vendor ID 'DTSOFT'

When I click the game a loading screen appears for about a minute before returning to GameEX as if something is timing out.

I tried updating to the latest Daemon Tools Lite 4.47

Not sure what else to try the command I'm running for SSF is

SSF.exe [-VIRTUALDRIVE-]

I've attached my full log

I only use Daemon Tools for SSF so I'm sure I could setup a batch file again.

Thanks

Stu

Hi Stu!

You might try altering your command line to the following as some have reported better success using [VIRTUALDRIVE]:\

SSF.exe [VIRTUALDRIVE]:\

If that still doesn't do the trick, I'd recommend giving Adultery's Virtual Drive Loader plugin a try. The plugin will grant you a more granular level of control over how images are mounted in DaemonTools. Among other things it will allow you to specify whether you're loading to a virtual DT or virtual SCSI drive.

Cheers, I'll give both these suggestions a go after work

With the help of Adultery's plugin I have found the problem, it's definitely a bug for Tom to sort.

I keep my Saturn roms in

E:\Sega Saturn\Roms\EURO

and

E:\Sega Saturn\Roms\USA

I have my rom path set in GameEx E:\Sega Saturn\Roms but also set to scan sub folders, it sees all my games no problem.

When I try to launch a game say Area 51 which is in the USA folder I can see from Adultery's log that it has actually tried to mount from the ROMS folder rather than the USA subfolder

E:\Sega Saturn\Roms\Area 51 (USA).cue

instead of

E:\Sega Saturn\Roms\USA\Area 51 (USA).cue

To confirm I have now set my rom path to E:\Sega Saturn\Roms\USA and GameEx has no trouble mounting the files.

Also to confirm that the command line for SSF is definitely

SSF.exe [-VIRTUALDRIVE-]

Using

SSF.exe [VIRTUALDRIVE]:\

causes the emu to load then crash, SSF doesn't expect any extra arguments to be passed
