Emulator Problems

[whitehat]

I'm new here but have been using Gameex for over a year and ran into an emulator problem with SNES and ZSNES - When I launch the emulator it won't launch the ROM's I've selected in Gameex - The emulator screen just pop's up until I close it or whatever - I've loaded a second install of Gameex with the same result for both SNES and ZSNES - The thing was this was working before I tried to change the emulator to SNES@!? I'm on XP with the latest .net etc... Here is my config.ini file for the emulator 9 & 10 that I am using for ZSNES - Thanks for any help hopefully this is something easy that I'm missing!

You're not passing the rom to the command line.

Snes should be:

snes9x.exe "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

ZSNES should be:

zsnesw.exe "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

Just make those changes to the command and you should be good to go.

Change the command to

snes9x.exe "[rompath]\[romfile]"

This is a simple fix. The problem is you ARE only launching the emulator.

Example: EMU_9_Command=snes9x.exe

Snes9x.exe is the emulator executable.

To load a game you need to pass the rompath and romfile information

It would look as follows.

snes9x.exe "c:\my snes games\chrono trigger.zip"

The GameEX FE creates a game list from the following config information

Rom Filter(this is files extention) = *.zip (the astrix is a wildcard that means any file name that shares the Zip extion)

Rom path (this is the location of the games) = c:\my snes games\

Gameex treats these as [rompath] and [romfile]

Gameex launches the emulator from the following

Working path (this is where the emu resides) = c:\my snes emu\

Command (The emulator command you want gameex to use)

So the complete command would be

snes9x.exe "[rompath]\[romfile]"

Gameex will lauch it like

"c:\my snes emu\snes9x.exe" "c:\my snes games\chrono trigger.zip"
