more than one command

[papalazuru]

hi all my first post. ive just read the post to get daemon tools with ssf working and it did work great the only problem i have is that i need to launch a ipac .ipc file i have got it working for my dreamcast but not sure what to type for the two commands together any help would be great thanks all

Use a batch file, which is basically a text file..

Eg. Runme.bat

@ECHO OFF
winipac ...
daemon ...

so what would i write in the batch file do i do it in notepad and save it as .bat

Yeah thats all you do write it in notepad and save as a .bat file. Basically it allows you to do more than one command. So after the @ECHO OFF line you just have a line for each command you want to launch.

thanks for the reply so would i write what i had to write to get them working as normal just on seprate lines in the batch

like this

@echo off

c:\winipac\winipac.exe "c:\winipac\profiles\ssf.ipc"

"c:\program files\daemon tools\daemon.exe" -mount 0,"[rompath]\[romfile]

and point launch before at this batch file

Yeah thats what you do

the winipac one isnt working am i writing it correct

[headkaze]

I'm more suprised the daemon tools one doesn't work

When you send command lines to a batch file it works differently, so in GameEx, you have

LaunchBefore=C:\Wherever\MyBat.bat "[rompath]\[rom]"

Then in your MyBat.bat you have

@ECHO OFF
c:\winipac\winipac.exe c:\winipac\profiles\ssf.ipc
"c:\program files\daemon tools\daemon.exe" -mount 0,%1

I'm not sure what your doing wrong with the winipac line, but with the daemon tools line, %1 is replaced with what is sent through the first paramenter (ie. "[rompath]\[rom]")

my winipac is in program files do i have to include that too

Yes, so:

c:\winipac\winipac.exe c:\winipac\profiles\ssf.ipc

May become

"c:\program files\winipac\winipac.exe" "c:\program files\winipac\profiles\ssf.ipc"

(normally you need to put quotes around file locations that contain spaces)

[papalazuru]

thanks everyone i think i am nearly there winipac is working now but daemon is not i think i may be putting a space in the rong place

[papalazuru]

thanks all it now works and i made an un mount too
