Visual Boy Advance not opening???

[nesman242]

i have everything figured out now except when i try to run a gameboy advance game through game ex i get nothing i hear a windows sound that i think is the error sound, the emu work fine on its own, with compatible games, but when i run from geme ex nothing, does anyone know if there is maybe a different command line then what game ex pre loads???? and does game ex update the emulators as well???

Please post your config... You can do this by going to the emulator in advanced config and choosing export config.. Post the contents here and we can help trouble shoot the issue.. MY guess is your command is incorrect... VBA works just fine for me...

Without knowing how your configuring the emulator makes it near impossabe to point you in the right direction.

You can alway look at the runlastgame.bat to see how gameex is building the command.

This is located in the programs group.

Also it would be nice if you would respond to your previous posts if you got it figured out.. People take the time to answer and help. Please take the time to post back so we can assume the topic is taken care of. This is what Im talking about

If there is an error outside of GameEx, than running in GameEx will be challenging. There might be a popup window that is giving an error message that disappears right away and messes with focus. Can you alt-tab back to the emu?

If the emulator doesn't support those files in an archive, the two choices are using another emulator that does or extracting the archives to a folder.

It does support it... All my gba games are in ZIP files... Works fine... I attached my config at the top of the thread.
