Virtual Jaguar

[Tempest]

I'm having a problem getting Virtual jaguar to work. I can run a game from the menu in VJ, but if I drop a rom onto the .exe, or run it from Gameex, I get the same error: Unable to load "gamename"

My config:

[Emulator_35]
Enabled=True
STARTPAGENAME=[Console] Atari Jaguar (Virtual Jaguar)
TITLETEXT=Atari Jaguar
StartPageLogo=Atari Jaguar
ROMFilter=*.jag
RomPath=G:\Atari roms\ATARI Jaguar

Rungame.bat:

 

C:
CD "C:\Emulators\Virtual Jaguar"

vj.exe "G:\Atari roms\ATARI Jaguar\Alien vs Predator (1994).jag"

I can't find much on the forums...I guess this should be easy!

I also have Project Tempest set up , when I drop a rom on the .exe, it starts PT, but doesn't run the game...in Gameex I was getting a black screen, no sound:

[Emulator_10]
Enabled=True
STARTPAGENAME=[Console] Atari Jaguar (Project Tempest)

StartPageLogo=Atari Jaguar
ROMFilter=*.jag

I would be happy with either one of these working...

Frequency straightened me out...VJ doesn't like .jag...ran my set through CMP with a no-intro dat...Everything is good!

Thanks Frequency!

Just a reference for everybody. That's true. Virtual Jaguar does not like .jag files. It explains why in the readme. Also about Project Tempest, it doesn't like commandline parameters so only way to get working smoothly through GameEx would be through a wrapper. Unless someone has come up with a way then please post for other users.

Also, Virtual Jaguar doesn't appear to run on Vista. I think the devs have stated that they won't work on a fix.

I've been trying to come up with a way to create a wrapper for Project Tempest, but I don't know the right toolset which would allow me to compile an EXE that executes clicks/commands on a GUI. There must be some clever way. If anyone has a hint on how it might be done, I'd be willing to do some of the legwork to get it done.

If all you need is menu selections, you can do that with Closemul. HK gave a link to it here in the forums.

It can easily be done with autoit or autohotkey.

You're right, that was super easy. I'll post the launcher for Project Tempest in a new post. Thanks for the tip.
