How did you resolve your MAME loading issue?

Again, please attach copies of your gamee.ini and log.txt files for review. Thanks.

Still having the PSX issue & also same issue with Project64. GameEx will not play any ROMs, but they all work fine when I play directly through P64.

See attached files.

GameEx.ini log.txt

Running GameEx Arcade Edition.

I am trying to run Playstation One emulator, PCSXR, through GameEx and none of the games will load when I try to play them. However, if I run them directly through PCSXR, they work perfect. I checked my settings to ensure the command lines are set right & all is well there. Any idea what the issue is here as well?

Log files can be found here:

 

 

GameEx.ini log.txt

OK, the log file is for your attempts to run Mario Kart and Micro Machines 64 Turbo  via Project 64. Can you provide an updated log.txt file from your attempt to launch a game via PCSXR?

 

[Draco1962]

If you want, we can go with the Project 64 issue in this thread?  I may have found the issue - your command line.

Per you gameex.ini file:

emu_4_command=Project64.exe [ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]

Per Submissions by fRequEnCy: (You will want to bookmark this one - great source for most of the legacy emulators).

emu_4_command=Project64.exe "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

Please change your command line via Setup Wizard and advise if any change in functionality.

THat fixed the P64 issue, thanks. PSX is still not working. Already had the quotes in the command line there. See attached logs.

GameEx.ini log.txt

Your command line does not look right:

emu_6_command=pcsxr.exe -f

[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]

Try changing it to

emu_6_command=pcsxr.exe -f "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

Yea, I removed the -f before the log so not sure why still there. Still not working & the -f is gone.

[Draco1962]

That wasn't what I was trying to post.. forum glitched on my paste...

The correct command line is likely 

pcsxr.exe -f "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

THat doesn't work either

[Draco1962]

Try adding  -nogui -cdfile in place of -f

Best I can do since I do not run that emulation so if it doesn't work, submit your latest gameex.ini and log.txt files and someone may chime in that has more experience with it.

[fRequEnCy]

Here are the command-lines for said emulator:

---------------------------
PCSXR
---------------------------
Usage: pcsxr [options]
    options:
    -nogui        Don't open the GUI
    -psxout        Enable PSX output
    -slowboot    Enable BIOS logo
    -runcd        Runs CD-ROM (requires -nogui)
    -cdfile FILE    Runs a CD image file (requires -nogui)
    -help        Display this message
 

So as suggested by Draco1962 it should work.

Works for some ROMs, but others still only play directly through PCSXR.

[Draco1962]

Attach a new log.txt after attempting to open one of the ROMS that won't launch, your updated gameex.ini, and a list of ROM names that are not launching with the new command line, please.

Otherwise, you may need to load the emulator in a new emulator slot and experiment with some of the other command line switches.

Looking further at your log.txt I'm seeing roms in different formats.  I see attempts to run roms with the extensions .img, .rar, and .zip.

Best to have all with same extension.  If roms are compressed then the following needs to be set:

gamesin7zips=True

I unzipped everything & still had the same problem

So all roms are now in .img format?

.bin & .que files, but yes proper files to play the games. They play fine directly through the emulator, but not when run through GameEx

Please submit the new log.txt and GameEx.ini files after attempting to run the roms that are giving you issues.
