stigzler Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Unbelievable!!! I was using a third party cmd line app called PowerCmd for testing... I tried windows stock and it worked first time!!Lesson learned - if hit a brick wall, 1st test = using Windows Cmd.Correct cmd:demul.exe -run=dc -image="I:\EmuTests\roms\Dreamcast\Quicklaunch\Soul Calibur v1 001 1999 Namco PAL M4 zip\Soul Calibur v1.001 (1999)(Namco)(PAL)(M4)[!].gdi"There's 10 hours of my life I'll never get back...-------------- Original Post -----------------------------------------So, this post here made it look easy!http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/12094-resolved-demul-and-dreamcast/But can I find a way to do this? (rhetorical 'no')tried:demul.exe -run=dc -image="I:\EmuTests\roms\Dreamcast\Quicklaunch\Soul Calibur v1 001 1999 Namco PAL M4 zip\Soul Calibur v1.001 (1999)(Namco)(PAL)(M4)[!].gdi"anddemul -run=dc -rom="I:\EmuTests\roms\Dreamcast\Quicklaunch\Soul Calibur v1 001 1999 Namco PAL M4 zip\Soul Calibur v1.001 (1999)(Namco)(PAL)(M4)[!].gdi"no dice...the gdi boots fine if I load via demul gui (Config>GD-ROM>Imagefile). GDRImage plugin selected.Demul does launch, but 'silently' - running in background processes but not visable on screen. Also, no sign of game running.Any ideas? Very little documentation available online,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stigzler Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Another wasted evening on this. Even made a script to change the rom gdi in gdrImage.ini.I just can't get it booting from command line. Always boots as background process.Using demul0582Can't find anything through forums. I find it amazing that these folks make amazing code and stuff, but include virtually no docs. Very frustrating and disheartening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzleHP Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It happens a lot man, just keep the faith though. Some demul users are bound to see this and chip-in Wish i could help but i never got on with it in all honesty.EDIT:There is one guy i know of here, who has mass knowledge not only of demul, but lots of the obscure systems/emulators, but he doesn't frequent much any more - that was a pun in case you missed it fRequEnCy - you could try PM him or something but he's the best on here in my opinion - the guy knows his stuff.
