Problem with Sega CD, Saturn, and PSX via GameEx

**Avarghaladion** · July 26, 2009

I've searched the forums on and off for a few days and tried some different stuff but I still haven't been able to get these to work (and I think its probably a really simple solution so I figured it'd be less stressful to just ask).

Everything works in GameEx now for me except for Sega CD, Sega Saturn, and Sony Playstation (ie. the systems that require mounting of a .iso, .bin, or .img). GameEx simply minimizes and the emulator's GUI loads but the image doesn't mount and the game doesn't play. The emulators and roms do work correctly if I do everything manually without GameEx, they just don't work with GameEx for me so far.

Help would be much appreciated.

Here are my configures:

I also have a quick question regarding the Create Snaps function. Is it possible to create video snaps with sound included? Also, is there a way for me to manually configure when I want recording to begin and end?

Thank you.

Well, I have never used gameex's built in ISO system, it was a very nice feature to add but I already made most of my configs before the ability existed.

Gameex has RUNBEFORE and RUN AFTER and COMMAND.

Id set my emulators to not run off ISO's Id have them configured to read from a specific cd drive (for arguments sake we will say g:)

Then Id mount my ISO via command line to my virtual drive emulator of choice (deamon tools)

So in the runbefore Id do Deamontools.exe -mount 0,"[rompath]\[romfile]"

This would mount my game that you choose in gameex to my g:

Then it would run the emu that is set to run and start emulaton upon loading.

When I started to implement this solution I checked some other emulator configs and realized that I'm just retarded and that the file aspect needed "" around it ><; PSX seems much easier to work with as well, compared to ePSXe, so I'm going with that for GameEx.

Here's all I had to change to fix it :

Sega CD

From Command=Fusion.exe -scd -fullscreen[-virtualdrive-]

To Command=Fusion.exe -scd -fullscreen "[rompath]\[romfile]"

Sega Saturn

From Command=SSF.exe[-virtualdrive-]

To Command=SSF.exe "[-virtualdrive-]"

Sony Playstation

From Command=psxfin.exe [ROMPath]\[RomFile]

To Command=psxfin.exe -f "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

They all work fine now *sigh* At least that's all of my emulators set up properly and working.

Edit: I haven't been able to make the games look as good in PSX as they do in ePSXe (not by a long shot) so I'm going with ePSXe. The changes I had to make for that were:

From Command=ePSXe.exe -nogui[-virtualdrive-]

To Command= ePSXe.exe -nogui -loadbin "[rompath]\[romfile]"

Hmm...

I haven't been able to figure out SSF before. Now's my chance to nab someone's config and give it a whirl.

Thanks.

Is it working for you now?

I haven't set it up yet. Tomorrow I'm off and I got a [u[ set to fool around with. Anything I should know before jumping into it? Words of wisdom?
