How to boot Sega CD

[Lighty]

Does anybody know the command line in easy setup to load a sega cd rom through Kega Fusion? Right now, I have it as "Fusion.exe -scd -slowboot [DTLOADER-SCSI]". Not sure if that's right. When I click on a rom in the GameEx menu, the sega CD sysyem itself will start, but it goes to the "cd player" option, as if the sega cd doesn't have a cd in it, and I know I have my virtual drive set up.

I use this:

Fusion.exe -scd -fullscreen "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

I think the path you specified is incorrect. Your [DTLOADER-SCSI] must not be known. Essentially what your command line is doing is telling Fusion EXACTLY what rom to use, and it doesn't know that rom, so the SegaCD doesn't have anything to load, and goes into the backup MUSIC console.

Also, I'm not sure why you're using a virtual drive. Fusion can read ISO's directly. Depending on how you have your roms, just adjust your Rom Filter for the file extension. For example, my Rom Filter is:

*.cue

See if that helps.

Oh ok lol. This was my first time using Sega cd on emulators. That command line works great. Thanks again.

Yep..

Something else you can do.. GameEx's setup wizard has an option to download emulators and their configs automatically. You might give that option a try. It will automatically configure the emulator settings inside GameEx to make it super simple. All you'd have to do is run the emulator outside of GameEx to get it configured right, and off you go! If you decide to try this, take note of where it downloads the emulator, as you might want to move it; if you do move it, you'll have to make the necessary changes in the emulator setup tabs too.

it was my understanding that the default syntax is [Virtual Drive]. using the rom path and file option is much more convenient.
