[RESOLVED] BlueMSX Question

[tglopez]

Does anyone know if a specific command line exists that would allow me to click on a Colecovision game in GameEx and automatically launch the game via the BlueMSX emulator? When I click on a game now, BlueMSX launches ColecoVision and even appears to load the game -- but I just get a notice that I need to "Turn Game Off before Inserting Cartridge or Expansion Module".  This forces me to "eject" the game and "reinsert" it in BlueMSX.

The command line I'm using in GameEx is as follows: blueMSX.exe /fullscreen /pause  /rom1 "[Emulation\ROMs\Microsoft MSX\Roms]\[ROMFILE]"

Any help the team can offer is appreciated.

Please try the following:

blueMSX.exe /machine "COL - ColecoVision" /fullscreen /rom1 "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

Thanks. Unfortunately, still the same issue. ColecoVision screen says:  "Turn Game Off before Inserting Cartridge or Expansion Module", even though game appears to be inserted. Having to "eject" the loaded game and "reinsert" so it plays. Any other solutions?

I had that same problem when I first tried this emulator.  I then tested with the command-line I supplied and it worked.  Just tested again and it worked.  Please post your config so I can take a look.

Thanks. Here goes....

[PC] Microsoft MSX (blueMSX).ini

Please change the following...

From

Quote

"[Emulation\ROMs\Microsoft MSX\Roms]\[ROMFILE]"

To

Quote

"[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

as per the instructions I gave before.

 

Just saw log file posted in Origin thread and noticed an attempt of running with the commandline and what it's output was.  This solution should fix your problem.

Just a note to @tglopez that it is generally best to provide the latest copy of your gameex.ini and log.txt files in each thread you start for an issue or assistance request.

Thanks all. Will remember to ALWAYS post the ini and txt files for these issues. Will test fRequency's solution above today and let you know if it works. 

[tglopez]

It worked! Thanks for the help.
