MESS duties

[enoch]

I notice the various console systems (atari, as well as odyssey) supported don't all use MESS. What I'm asking is, why isn't there a 'MESS' selection? I ask because O2EM doesn't support controls changing, as well as GE not at all supporting Vectrex, which MESS does very well.

...you mean a import INI to use MESS with a given system?

I guess because no one has gotten around to it.

There is a lot of quality emu's out there that have little to no support...I'm hoping to address some of this with that loader thread of mine.

I'll look into MESS in the next day or so...but the more people pitching in the better.

Whats O2EM? Can you use Autohotkey to change the keys?

I'am not sure what you mean by GE not supporting vertrex?

To be honest I havent used Mess much I know its supposed to emulate most consoles pretty well.

I found it diffacult to configure when I have most everything runnin file the the many various emus I have.

I'am sure If mess works command line and if its possable to create a gamelist like MAME a map file can be created and it might work.

When you select a rom say NES will it know which Bios to use?

say "c:\mess.exe NESGAME"

MESS is based off of Mame. (I use the '32'-like version; same gui as Mame32. Note: I tend to use '32' versions of things, and don't use other arcade game emus.) MOST of the systems I don't care, nor even know, about; I didn't get into home computers, etc. And I generally can do without consoles when compared to arcade games. But, Vectrex and Odyssey2 have certain novelty for me, and are well supported in MESS. This is a total side question, though. I'm far more interested in getting VP and Daphne - in that order - eventually {easily} running.
