Gameex not doing launch before

[ReFleX]

I've been trying to setup some segacd stuff today and I'm running into a problem. I have all the segacd images zipped up. So I'm using the launch before to unzip them and launch after to delete the files are I'm done.

When I go to run the game though, gameex doesn't unzip the file.

In the attached log file you can see that I went to run the game and it never ran anything before the game. Fusion then just did nothing (sat that the snow screen) because no game was in the unzipped folder.

Here is the configuration:

Launch before works fine and I do see a possible problem with your settings but you won't get much help here about unzipping your roms because it's a registered feature.

I am registered.

Well in that case just use Zip/7-zip/Goodmerge support in the Emulator Setup Section and you can eliminate launch before and after all together.

The zip files contain many files that all need to be unzipped and in the same directory. I was under the impression that the 7zip support only unzipped the file needed (meaning the file referred to as the rom), I need them all unzipped, but just pass the .cue file to fusion.

You put *.cue in the ROM filter to only to display the actual game in the GameEx menu. Using the 7Zip GoodMerge support, when the game launches all the files contained in the archive are unzipped regardless of the filter. The cue file is used as the rom name in the commandline for mounting or passing to the emulator. The other files in the archive will be available to the emulator / cd mounting program if required.

So this is what you should probably change in your config

ROMFilter=*.iso;*.cue

Command=Fusion.exe -scd -fullscreen "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

LaunchBefore=

LaunchAfter=

GamesIn7Zips=True
