Issues with NUllDC

[Doseoracle]

I went through the forums and found some things that helped in setting up NUllDC.  For instance I used the [ command line= nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace.exe -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" ] to load a game from gameex and set the nulldc.cfg  [ Emulator.AutoStart=1, Fullscreen=1] to auto launch in full screen.  

Problem: when I launch any game from GameEx it only launches the last game opened through the stand alone NullDC emu.  No matter what game I pick. Been tinkering for the last few nights without success. Apologies if I missed the entry in forums. 

NUllDC v1.55

lil help? Thank you.

Would you mind attaching (no copy and paste please) copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files for review? Thanks.

Short version is I'd like to play marvel vs capcom 2 & snk vs capcom 2 etc. Nulldc was the only emu I had success with. If anyone has suggestions I'm open to ideas, but I want to play the actual arcade versions not the Dreamcast ports.

I don't run NullDC on my system, however, have you tried with the latest MAME version to see if the games work there? 

I know that there has been some success even as recent as 5 years ago in getting some of the older SNK ROMS working by finding a set with qsound library and copying to the ROM .zip file of a set where the qsound file was missing.

Mind you that I have not tried that solution nor am I aware that current MAME ROMs are working for your titles of interest.

The way the loader\wrapper works as Myself and a couple other users written some a long long time ago was this.

When you run the wrapper its supposed to that the "[Rompath]\Romfile]" variable games passes and then inject it into the NullDC.INI

The INI also may also get edited to launch full screen or other settings but it was trivial.

Once NullDC itself was executed it would then run the game inserted into the INI..

My guess is the issue is with the loader writing to the INI...

I didnt know users were still using NullDC, Makaron or Demul as most have been supereceded my MAME, Refroarch (Reicast, Flycast) and have wonderful performance.

 

There is another thread here that talks about how to get it up in gameex without the wrapper.
