I cant get gamex to work with magic engine 1.1.3 to lauch turbografx cd games. Please help. I have been trying to get this to work for a while now with much frustration. I am using daemon tools pro. Below is my config. Much thanks in advance

**************UPDATE****************

YES SUCCESS AT LAST. This is the ONLY working config for magic engine cd iso's in this whole forum. Geesh - hope it helps someone took me forever to figure out. I decided to use daemon tools lite instead of pro. The key secret was the Command=Pce.exe -cd:N where N is the letter of your first virtual drive.

I'm thinking that these can't be right... C:\C:\ ????? Also, Your use of QUOTES may not be right...

My launch before and after for SSF:

LaunchBefore="C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools Lite\daemon.exe" -mount 0, "[RomPath]\[RomFile]"

LaunchAfter="C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools Lite\daemon.exe" -unmount 0

-mount

This is from the daemon pro website - i fixed path and still no luck. Please help

allows mounting images from command line (or shortcut).

Syntax is: DTProAgent.exe -mount [ scsi | ide], <n>, <path>

where 'scsi' or 'ide' means the drive type ('scsi' is the value by default), 'n' means DVD-ROM device number and 'path' is the full path to the image file.

Example: DTProAgent.exe -mount scsi, 0,"c:\My Images\nameofimage.cue".

Do not forget to set the path in quotes if it contains spaces!

-unmount

allows unmounting images from command line.

Syntax is: DTProAgent.exe -unmount [scsi | ide], <n>where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number and 'scsi' or 'ide' means the drive type ('scsi' is the default value) .

Example: DTProAgent.exe -unmount scsi, 0

Example: DTProAgent.exe -unmount scsi, 0

Right, it says "Do not forget to set the path in quotes if it contains spaces!"

It doesn't say to put the parameters in quotes!

So, try:

LaunchBefore="C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Pro\DTProAgent.exe" -mount scsi, 0 "[RomPath]\[RomFile]""

LaunchAfter="C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Pro\DTProAgent.exe" -unmount scsi, 0

Thank you for this thread. The -cd:insert drive letter here is the only thing that got it to finally work for me, too, after an hour of banging my head around and searching this and other forums.
