1964 & GameEx Issue

[ShAddiX]

Hey boys and girls! =)

I want to change from PJ64 to 1964 for N64 Games.

But I can't get 1964 to work with GameEx.

Normally, GameEx Starts the Games Browser in 1964.

With the commandline -g [game] it should start the game, but I get an error:

"Error opening this file. Please refresh the Rom list." and the games browser of 1964 starts.

Does anyone have a working solution for this issue?

Thanks!

That usually means you don't have the rom path quite right. Could be spaces, quotes....not sure. Post your GameEx log file, and the command line you're using.

Well, now 1964 puts just the game I want into the list and I think it wants to start it. But then 1964 crashes. :/

Currently comman line:

"I:\DER ORDNER\Emulation\Nintendo 64\196499\1964.exe" -v "RiceVideo.dll" -a "schiboAud.dll" -c "NRage_DInput8_V2.dll" -g "I:\DER ORDNER\Emulation\Nintendo 64\Roms\Super Mario 64 (U) [!].z64"

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

A good test is to try that exact command line (quotes and all) on the normal command line. See if that works. You could have some options to the emu wrong. Personally I have found success with this method: in the command line in gameex setup i give it

cmd.exe /c "command here"

This will run whatever is in the string in quotes and then terminates. I like to have all my commands in batch files, so in my string is the name of the batch file. The advantage of this (I admit it adds another step) is that at any time I can run the batch file to see if the emu runs fine on its own, or if GameEx, or my setup of GameEx is fouling things up. You can't always be sure GameEx is running the command you give it exactly in the way you think it is. By doing it this way you can easily test it inside and outside of GameEx. As a final note I have all my batch files in one location so that I can back them up, and have them in my path so that I don't have to list the whole path in the string. I know this doesn't REALLY solve your problem, but doing this could help you uncover you problem. good luck!

Well...this is a normal command line oO

"I:\DER ORDNER\Emulation\Nintendo 64\196499\1964.exe" -v "RiceVideo.dll" -a "schiboAud.dll" -c "NRage_DInput8_V2.dll" -g "I:\DER ORDNER\Emulation\Nintendo 64\Roms\Super Mario 64 (U) [!].z64"

Of course I try a normal command line first before I use it in GameEx.

But this one doesn't work. :/

Any idea?
