Trying to get emulated games to load.

[mane7777]

I am trying to set up my gameex to play my other emulated games like n64, snes, etc. I can get it to to load the emulator, but it wont play the rom. I have to manually select the rom i want to play from the file menu. I have n64, snes, nes, sega genes, and gameboy emulators and they all do the same thing.

Anyone have this problem before or know how to fix this? thanks

Have you gotten the emulators to work out side of GameEx first off.

It takes a bit of effort to get things to work out right...but once they do its a lot of fun.

I found out what my problem was, but now the only problem i have now is with my n64 emulator i am using project 64, but when ever it starts to load a game it gives me an error, saying attempt of open file failed. any ideas?

For command in gameex config for the chosen emulator make sure you are passing the correct paramaters.

MYEMU.exe "[rompath]/[romfile]"

Without "[rompath]/[romfile]" All your doing is launching the emu. Which is your symptom.. I cannot prove this because you did NOT post your LOG or EXPORT your configuration... Also in the emu settings...

It is eaiser to troubleshoot if we know how your trying to do this..

If this does not work... Post the above and we will go from there.

I found out what my problem was, I didnt have the rompath/romfile, but now the only problem i have now is with my n64 emulator i am using project 64, but when ever it starts to load a game it gives me an error, saying attempt of open file failed. any ideas?

try just passing "[rompath]/[romfile]" without quotes like this [rompath]/[romfile]

Also on the start menu>gameex>runlastgame RIGHT CLICK and choose EDIT and post the contents here.

i tried that but get the same error

and here is the contents you wanted:

C:

CD "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.CURRENT-4FFE5AA\My Documents\N64"

project64.exe [rompath/romfile]

Shouldn't that be:

project64.exe [rompath]/[romfile]

[mane7777]

Shouldn't that be:

project64.exe [rompath]/[romfile]

Did I just snake one from Brian?

Yup, looks like you did! Not like him to let one slip like that. Must be taking a break.

Shouldn't that be:

project64.exe [rompath]/[romfile]

Shouldn't that be:

project64.exe [rompath]\[romfile]

Windows has always used the backslash as the file separator, Unix uses the forward slash

HAHAHA!!!!!

Thats fine by me guys

I've been known to hijack threads myself.

I pulled a 16 hour day on saturday after my 40+ hour work week.

I did nothing Sunday.... It was nice.

As far as this thread goes personally Id try copying one rom into the working path.

Specify the rom path as the working path.

then run it like pj64.exe [romfile]

I thinks it has to do with the path for some reason... I know dos hates spaces.

Damn, HK got me...too much Linux of late
