Dreamcast GDI's

[redders]

I've recently resetup GameEx on a new pc after not using gameex for a long while. I'm using the *GDI format, but I cant for the life of me remember the correct commandline to use?? Does anybody have a config they can post up for me to use please, thanks.

Search for NullDC on the forum and you should find everything that you need. There may even be an emulator config in the GameEx installer. If so, you would be able to find it when you pick a config to import.

take bryans setup from over here:

http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...9&hl=nulldc

it worked quite good. the only issue is that the config file sometimes resets it self so it makes sense to have a batch script setup to replace the config you made with the standard one in the nulldc folder

You might consider making the file read-only if that's a common problem. That won't always work since the program might barf, but it's a little easier than using a script (although only slightly).

Ok I've used Brian's setup as suggested by Chriss. Nulldc launches through GameEx fine, I get the Dreamcast splash screen, then it crashes with the following -

Anybody have any ideas?

Delete your Nulldc.cfg and re-run the app.. It will create a fresh cfg.

Then edit that cfg as needed by the instructions in the other thread.

If that doesnt work please verify it works outsside gameex.

Also post your emu config. So I can make sure its ok.

As above it gets to the DC splash screen and then I get "nulldc etc has stopped working" with the same error I posted above.

When I run nulldc outside of gameex I first get an error stating the default image "" failed to load at start and when I try to load an image.

Nevermind, now working flawlessly using Ragnarok777's vbs script - http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...t=0&start=0

Thanks guys.
