As a newbe I could really use some help getting an emulator setup in GameEx. I am using Mednafen and it works fine running .cue files or is using medgui, on a fresh built Win XP (off network)I added it to Emulators in GamEx and it shows all the game roms but  I'll click the game title, the next window opens, where I again see the game title and an option to add to favorites, but the game will not launch. I enabled .zip in the setup, and the Rom folder has both zipped and unzipped versions of the Roms.  I also tried setting the rom filter for .cue which is what I use to play the games outside of Gameex.

I am enclosing the .ini files, any assistance is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Hi trislaver,

You have to set up your command line properly. Now, this is the first time I have looked at Mednafen, so my experienece with it is limited to say the least...this should get the game running, but you may need to tweak things a bit. I tested PSX specifically:

  • For your command line parameter, use mednafen.exe "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"
  • Make sure your Working path leads to the folder that mednafen.exe resides in.
  • Make sure your ROM path leads to the folders the games reside in. If you have the games in separate folders, there is a setting in the Advanced Emulator Setup section called Scan Sub Folders that should be set to YES.
  • Set your Rom Filter to *.cue;*.ccd;*.toc;*.m3u
  • Also make sure you have the proper bios files if you attempt to run any games that need them. Those files belong in the firmware folder of Mednafen.
  • To go from Windowed to full screen, hit ALT+ENTER after the game had launched. There does not appear to be a command line setting to force this, although there may be a way using the mednafen.cfg file.

Hopefully this gets you started.

Documentation for mednafen itself is located at https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/.

Hey trislaver, I assume we are looking at emulator #9. Your command line is still incorrect.

You have it listed as notepad.exe. It needs to be mednafen.exe "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]".

In the Advanced Emulator Setup for Emulator #9, you have Also Launch set to E:\Mpsx\mednafen-1.22.2-win32\mednafen.exe. Clear that parameter.

Also in the Advanced Emulator Setup for Emulator #9, you have Zip/7-Zip/GoodMerge/RAR set to Yes. This is fine if all of your games are zipped. If not, be sure to disable it.

 

I cannot see anything else to look at. Please make these changes and let us know if that gets things going.  :)

Thanks RedDog, I was in emulator14, games are now launching but I get a command prompt saying to press any button THEN the game launches. I am attaching another screenshot. Any way you may know of to eliminate this step?  I am very grateful for all the help so far and so are my kids who are enjoying these games as much as I do, Thank you
