Sega Model 2 Background

[Jollywest]

Hi all again,

Got a couple of questions;

1) When using the Sega Model 2 emu in GameEx configured through the Advance Mame Settings, I can't find anywhere to configure the Emu Background either in Adv. Config or theme

editor, is it possible? (it uses the Mame Emu background instead)

2) I have - Enable All Games List - set to No in Enable/Disable Features in Adv. Config. Yet on the start page the All Games List still appears at startup, then after entering into any

Emulator Games list and returning back to the Start Page the All Games List has disappeared, any ideas? thanks.

The background is currently not possible. For no.2 can you post the log?

[Jollywest]

Cheers for the reply Tom, I'll post the log first thing in the morning.

Ok I've sussed out Question 2.

It maybe just specific to my pc but if anyone else has the same problem, here is how it worked for me;

The - Enable All Games - option in Enable/Disable options in Adv. Config. when changed is only affective when - Enable Start Page - and - Show Start Page First - are set to - No -

These 2 options can be set back to - yes - if needed once the - Enable All Games - option has been set to the desired choice, after Gameex has been started with the options at No first.

You could set your nebula (or whatever model 2 emulator you use) as a separate emulator and then enable it on your main menu through custom menus. Then with the theme editor you could apply your own background image to your model 2 set.

Sounds like a plan, cheers.

Just had a quick skeg in the Wrappers/Loaders sticky and found a Sega Model 2 config file and a loader as well. . . all's good!

Thanks again.

[Jollywest]

Unfortunately the loader isn't available anymore.

I've tried to knock one up myself based on the Demul Atomiswave_Loader Brian made but to no avail.

The difference between Demul and Nebula's Sega Model 2 Emulators is in the Select Rom window.

Demul allows the {enter} command to select a rom where as Nebula's Sega Model 2 Emulator needs a Double click of the Left mouse button.

I'm out of my depth on how to work this in and what the .ini file should look like.

Anyone got any pointers? cheers.

You can send the rom directly to the emulator.exe on the command line. Why do you need a wrapper?

[Jollywest]

Never realised, I'm obviously looking too much into it, ta.

You used to need a loader for Model2 emu but not anymore. I wrote the one GameEx used to use (m2loader.exe) but it's much better when the authors add native support via command line.

Yea without a doubt and a big thankyou to the authors.
