Daemon Tools Lite Problems

[gametech2]

Anyone else having issues with DTLite not mounting images? Sometimes it will mount, but majority of the time GameEx just stays on the please wait screen the goes back to GameEx. It doesn't even show the disc being mounted to the drive in Windows explorer. Also this happens with any emulator set to launch virtual drives. Was working perfectly for the longest time then out of nowhere this happens. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Here is the config:

SSF is notoriously finicky when it come to loading to virtual drives through a frontend. Your command line looks good to me, so if it continues to give you problems it would definitely be worthwhile to check out Adultery's Virtual Drive Loader plugin. It takes some of the guesswork out of loading up disc images to a virtual drive and offers a couple of customization options not available with the integrated virtual drive functionality.

I use the plugin and ssf has no problems mounting for me.

[gametech2]

I downloaded the loader, but there is no .exe, just a folder PLUGINS with the Daemon tools ddl. I put the plugin in the plugins folder in the gameex directory and replaced the existing one still having the same issue. Also this is happening with Turbografx CD Ootake. The emulator doesn't open and gameex just hangs on the please wait screen then goes back to the rom selection menu.

[Adultery]

You need to extract that to the GameEx root install folder and run PluginManager.exe. Then put a check in the box next to Virtual Drive Loader and exit the plugin manager.

Then in your ssf emulator, your command line for ssf will be:

ssf.exe [dtloader]

That should do it.

[Adultery]

That assumes you have dtools installed in the default location btw.

[gametech2]

Looks like that did it! Thanks!

Glad to be of service.
