Master System problem... Path C:\Documents does not Exist


Theo

Recommended Posts

I'm having a problem trying to play my master system games, to my knowledge I had it all working at somepoint so don't know whats gone wrong!

When I click on a game in the list it comes up saying Path C:\Documents does not Exist

I'm sure this must be something really easy im missing.. it all works fine on its own.

(oh and first it comes up with that dos screen saying 'press any key to continue... can i get rid of that? bit annoying always having to press a key)

I'm using FreezeSMS 4.6

ROM PATH: C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Emulators\Games\Master System

WORKING PATH: C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Emulators\Emulators Data\Master System - FreezeSMS 4.6

COMMAND LINE: FreezeSMS.exe [ROMPath]\[RomFile]

ta muchly!

recheck your paths , your rom and working paths seem to be in diff directorys also turn debug off to get rid of the dos box

C:\Documents does not Exist

this type of error is normally: missing quotes in paths with spaces.

Yup - it is the application that is having problems with the spaces

You can move the programs and roms to a new directory path that has no spaces

c:\Emulators\Games\MasterSystem

c:\EmulatorsData\MasterSystem

or

find out the 8.3 (short name alias) of the directories

Bring up a command prompt and do the following:

c: (enter)

cd\ (enter)

dir /x docu* (enter)

this will show you something like:

04/26/2006 05:10 PM <DIR> DOCUME~1 Documents and Settings

The shortname here is DOCUME~1

cd DOCUME~1 (enter)

dir /x My* (enter)

this will show you something like:

04/26/2006 05:10 PM <DIR> MYDOCU~1 My Documents

The shortname here is MYDOCUM~1

Do this all the way down your path to get the correct 8.3 names and you can construct a path like:

c:\DOCUME~1\MYDOCUM~1\Emulators\Games\MASTER~1

which you would replace

ROM PATH: C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Emulators\Games\Master System

to be this:

ROM PATH: c:\DOCUME~1\MYDOCUM~1\Emulators\Games\MASTER~1

*no spaces - no problem
