Hey guys! long time no post. anyway I'm wondering if anyone has came up with a way to launch PCSX2? I did a search and found the thread Brian posted his wrapper in. Though it's kind of outdated now and I couldn't figure out how to get it to work.

Anyway when I try launching a game it goes right back to GameEx. Log attached. Thanks guys :)

No one knows? :(

*Edit* guess I didn't search hard enough :P I'm getting close PCSX2 is launching now but I keep getting an error. I'll keep trying.

Guess I'll keep trying to figure it out. I'm sure it's a setting in GameEx since I used ePSXe as a place holder and then changed the settings maybe I left a setting for ePSXe in? I don't know XD

What version of the emulator are you using since Brian did write it for a previous version it seems and perhaps not working?

I'm using PCSX2 0.9.6 and the launcher was written for this version. Here's the script Brian wrote

After testing, I too am having issues with that plugin. I get the same errors you do. So let me look more into that plugin or we can just take another approach to get it working.

how can I get that same help because I too am having problems with PCSX2. I start the game in Gameex then i get returned back to the frontend.

Have you downloaded the launcher Brian created from here? http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=7212&view=&hl=pcsx2&fromsearch=1

If you did make sure under command line you put in this with quotes Pcsx2_Launcher.exe "[rompath]\[romfile]" also make sure you have the launcher in the same directory as PcSX2 :)
