Emulator Problems

[scranusesscrunya]

Hi everyone,

Having a few problems with some emulators that I hope you could help with.

First off MESS, i have no trouble using mess for Atari 7200 etc. But when i try to use it for Microsoft MSX it just basically crashes back to gameex straight away (doesn't even load the emu) my command line is

mess.exe msx -cart "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" -joy -now -nonewui

This is the one that is used in the Gameex setup wizard but i am having no luck.

Secondly Mednafen just crashes back to gameex in a similar fashion to MESS when i try to launch atari lynx roms.

Command line: mednafen.exe -fs 1 "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

This happens although other systems such as gameboy advance work without a hitch using this emu through gameex.

Heres my gameex config for further reference.

Thanks in advance as always, and i hope you can help me out!

The msx command should be:-

mess.exe msx -cart1 "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" [whatever options]

mednafen :-

mednafen.exe "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

this works for me, you dont need the options!

let me know if this works

(ps. my lynx roms ar unzipped - not sure if it makes a difference)

Here's my mednafen commandline and it works. My roms are zipped:

mednafen.exe -fs 1 -lynx.xres 640 -lynx.yres 480 -lynx.stretch 1 "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

As far as mess, greatflash is correct. Also make sure you have the msx rom for it to work. Or you could always use the emulator blueMSX.

Sorry about the lateness of my reply!!

As for the MSX command line that was spot on so thanks for that! Although i would also like to know how to get rid of the message screens at the start, MESS keeps telling me that my roms are incorrect although they all work fine.

But as for the Lynx problems, neither seemed to work for me zipped or unzipped it just keeps crashing back to gameex which is really annoying! Was considering switching to handy but i don't like how small the screen is in fullscreen mode.

Anyway thank you for your input any other ideas on how to get the lynx to work?

Thanks again for your help!

I have been using handy for lynx, I just downloaded it, imported the config in Gameex, and it worked!

If not working with those settings then could be your roms. Have you verified them at all? Also have you tried running outside of gameex? Run from command prompt and see what errors you get.

I guess if I was paying attention, I would have noticed that He didn't want to use handy! It was late (early). That's my excuse...
