Mount an image before PC Game starts.

[ShAddiX]

Hey Guys!

I want to Include my PC Games into GameEx.

But I need to mount the image before GameEx starts the game.

How can I do this?

Because in GameEx are only .lnk files. But i need to mount the specific .bin file.

-mount 0,"[RomPath]\[RomFile]"

How can I mount a specific iso, with an specific pc game?

Create a .bat-file that mounts your ISO and then launches your game. Or for more options, use www.autohotkey.com with which you get more options, like waiting for your image to mount properly before running the game. Then create a shortcut to that .bat/.ahk-file and use THAT as your rom file.

Thanks buddy! That works.

But now I've got another problem -.-

I also want to start bei Playstation games with a specific config.

I do this with the Delta2 frontend. So every game has it's own .lnk (and also it's own config) .

But when I start a .lnk in GameEx, it starts the emu, but GameEx opens again. (but ePSXe is starts).

So I can't play.

How can I fix this?

Or is it possible to use ePSXe Cutor (I found something about that but don't understand how I have to setup this because it seems to have the same problem)

Have you tried importing any of the preconfigured Playstation settings that comes with GameEx? I'm not sure, but it sounds like you need to enable "show desktop" for it to work. Sounds like the ePsx is loosing focus, and GameEx thinks it's crashed.

When I use the preconfigured Playstation settings, I'm not able to use Delta2 or ePSXeCutor. (to have the best settings for each game).

ePSXe starts, but I think because of the Delta2 (or ePSXeCutor) frontend, GameEx thinks "the program shut down", so GameEx popups again. (ePSXe is still running in the background).

I cant really help with the playstation issue, but there is an application worth mentioning for this topic.

Its called Daemon Script, it does the following:

DaemonScript allows the user to create scripts that will mount, unmount, set emulations, and run appliactions. This allows the user to mount then run a game all in one click. DaemonScript includes a full user-interface, featuring tooltips, and drag-and-drop.

Download at the Daemon tools plugin page

its a very fast & reliable way to launch pc games which need mounting, this works the same way as a batch file but is much simpler.

[EDIT] Even if you dont need to mount an image, you can also use this app to launch more than one program from a shortcut its pretty useful for joytokey, or trainers. To end a program once the game is over, use the 'WaitForApp to terminate' function, then use 'RunApp' like this:

Executable: taskill.exe

Parameters: /F /IM JoyToKey.exe

To start joytokey, use the 'RunApp' option like this:

Executable: JoyToKey.exe

Parameters: YourConfig.cfg

THX, it's a great tool

Makes thinks easy, and easy = good

But doesn't solve my problem ^^"

I found this topic, seems to be the same problem:

But I can't figure out how they fixed this problem.

*push up*

I still have the problem with ePSXe Cutor

I tried it with the KeyMonitor app of this thread ( http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...p;hl=epsxecutor ) but it doesn't work.

Any idea, experience, or maybe a plugin for issues like this? ^^

Does that Daemon Script allow you to permanently mount games? My son has several games I'd like to load on the cabinet so he doesn't have to put in his CDs when playing.

As long as you have the disc images on your harddrive, yes. I'm not sure how many images can be mounted at the same time, though. You'll have to check out Daemon Tools' website for more info on that.
