GPWiz49 Question?

[Topgun_68]

Hello. I'm new at game Ex, but I love it sop much I had to buy the lifetime subscription   :<)

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen this. I searched all the forums and found how easy it is to setup this analog joystick by using the set49mode.exe lines in Tounces directions below.

It still will not work, so I put a pause command after the runitgame.bat file where it runs the setup command and I get the rror:

"

Active code page: 65001

GPWIZ49.exe path not set

Press any key to continue . . .

"

I can copy the line "C:\set49mode\set49mode.exe [ROM]" line on my run command prompt in Windows 7 and it works fine. I confirmed I have the Path variable setup as well and it runs fine. It just won't run from the batch file. Any ideas? I'm thinking some Windows 7 issue, but can't figure it out.

 

Thanks,

George

Looks like you have GameEx setup properly but it also looks like setting up gpwiz and set49mode require additional steps outside of GameEx.

Actually, it looks like I added support for Set49 later than the post.

You can just use [CONTROL] instead of [ROM] and avoid all that setup but it does still look like you need to install the GP49Wiz software.
