Apple 2 Emulation

[starbuck]

Anyone using AppleWin in GameEX.

Tried using MESS and can't get it to show on screen. Using ini file in GameEx. If anyone is using AppleWin could you please post your ini file.

Mess autoruns the game for me just fine. Have not tried AppleWin. What's your commandline for mess?

Running the same ini posted by mightypeniz? If so then that commandline is incorrect. Try this.

mess.exe apple2c -s6d1 "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" -joy -now -nonewui

[mightypeniz]

yeah, what fRequEnCy said - I'm running it, but what I posted below was just a snippet from someone else's config.

[starbuck]

That fixed it guys

Thanks much
