I've only been using GameEx for a couple of weeks but I've managed to set up all the emulators I need bar one.....

Either Project Tempest or Virtual Jaguar refuse to work. I can get PT to work outside of GameEx but thats it. I've read the various posts here with users having similar problems.

http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...8&hl=jaguar

I've tried the config files in the post above but I'm not really sure what to do or where to put them?

Does anybody know of a walkthrough I can use to get it set up? Please...

Neither of these work as of this writing. Neither of these emulators are any good IMHO, and I only keep Jaguar on my GameEx list for the 'bling' factor.

Sorry. :(

Thats a real shame.

A guy in this thread http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...8&hl=jaguar reckons he got it working with PT 0.82 which I've tried but to no avail. :(

Any work being done that you know of to improve these emulators and compatibility with GameEx?

I think in the case of VJ, you may only need a wrapper since I think the problem is no CLI support and therefore no way to load the files directly without using the GUI. You may want to ask Nologic about that.

Hope that helps!

Well I never found any CLI support thus far for PT...tho if someone has some links I'd love to have them at any point.

Till then there is a working loader\wrapper for PT here. The import INI currently is setup for roms being in 7zip...which is for registered users only...but this is a simple change that can be made...but the roms will also need to be unarchived should they be compressed...as PT doesn't natively handle 7zip.

I'll work on CD & VJ support.

Thanks for the link, but I've had no luck....

I place the loader and other file in the PT folder and the ini files in the relevant gameex folders. When using debug mode, it brings up the command prompt stating a filename with PAUSED at the end, if I hit a key the emulator loads. I tried hitting F2 to see if the game would start but, nothing happens!!!!

Any advice please....

Okay and your using built 0.95 of Project Tempest?

The loaders md5 hash should be:

5C3EBC71853E8DADF9A3DE0FA939CC36

PT.exe's md5 hash should be:

0FE7E624D209E93382CB385C392F1406

I've tried 0.5 and 0.82 of PT.

Well grab 0.95 here http://pt.emuunlim.com/

Done. Changed to fullscreen in settings. Still doesnt work, tried in debug mode, see pics for results.

After I press space.

The first time I tried in debug mode, after pressing space it bought up the PT main screen and then the open rom screen for me to select the file to load.

I dont get what I'm doing wrong....

ahh your using vista...run the loader as admin...it should work then.

Right, set the loader to always run as admin. GameEx always black screens and gos no further. When in debug mode I get as in the screen above the fact that its PAUSED for some reason. Hitting space brings up PT, if I hit F2 I get the error message "Rom not loaded". So got a little bit further. Any idea why it pauses and waits for my input to launch?

You might have the emulator set to debug mode..

That will cause the pausing issue.

also if you have spaces in your ROMPATH you need to use quotes LOADER.exe "[rompath]/[romfile]"

Your loader should be in the same place as your PT.exe put all your unzipped roms in this folder.

Launch gameex advanced config make sure you set the rompath to the same as working path.

also make sur degug mode is turned off. and your rom filter to *.jag

command should be

Project_Tempest_Loader "[romfile]"

This should work!

Ok, tried the above and from what I can see the rom isnt being loaded by the loader. I've turned UAC off in vista, run the exe in xp compatability mode and still no joy?!

Anybody have any other suggestions please?

Crazy thing here,

I can get PT to open and (kinda) run in my XP machine. However, Vista won't run well (if even at all). This is outside of GameEx of course. I don't know if the problem is in the EMU or the wrapper?

PS: UAC is disabled on my Vista machine.

I'll see about installing Vista on a virtual PC and see if I can figure out the problem...it may have something to do with the way Vista skins\draws its windows.

Does anybody have a different setup for PT now that the loader is gone?
