Is the emulator located in the root of the E: drive? I believe the default is E:\emulation\pj64... Unless there is a bug in the setup wizard.

Try putting your Project64.exe in a folder, along with the rest of the contents for it like plugins etc... Then point gameex to that folder, then do that for the other ones too.

There is a reported issue with ROMS being in the root, they need to be in a subfolder, Im assumiong that is the issue here to, but with the emu instead.

cmd.exe /c E: project64.exe "E:\Emulation\Roms\Nintendo 64 [No-Intro]\Unzipped7-Zip\Asteroids Hyper 64 (USA).n64"

whoa thats weird i see it says (E: project64.exe) as my emulator location but it is in a folder E:\Emulation\Emus\Nintendo 64 (Project64) and it is set up to look in that folder i dont know why its not reading anything past e: but how can i fix this issue. its doing this with all my emulators and its a fresh install. i think there is a bad bug in the new release cause this is when all this started happening. no matter what, it says (E: my emulator.exe) for every emulator i use and refuses to open anything

[SteveUnEven]

heres my config for project 64. everything has been in the same folders since i started using gameex. i dont know why this is happening but its killing me

Your config says you are using 1.6 version of pj64. The quotes in the command line do not work with this version, try removing them to look like this: Command=Project64.exe [ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]

Then try it, if it fails post the contents of your runlastgame.bat file. Its in the gameex folder.

[SteveUnEven]

this commandline has never given me a problem but this is going on with any emulator i use

ohh and im running project 64 1.7 i just used this emulator as an example..

[fRequEnCy]

Well what's weird to me is that your config shows where your emulator is and yet the log only shows that its trying to launch the emulator from the E: path. Post your runitgame.bat as Brian suggested but I'm also running this version of GameEx and not having these issues. I've never encountered this one before. Usually when things start acting weird I myself and also suggest that you download GameEx from the site and install again.

[SteveUnEven]

yeah i did uninstall and reinstall. but ill post the runitgame.bat right now. im dying to know whats going on

WorkingPath=E:\Emulation\Emus\Nintendo 64 (Project64)

This must be a custom path being set as this profile defaults to

WorkingPath=[DEFAULTEMUPATH]\Project64

Do you get the following prompt when you import an Emulator (see attached pic)? It allows you to set the defaults of where your emulators will download and set your paths to match.

If not you can open GameEx\CONFIG\GameEx.ini and make sure the following values are set

[SetupWizard]
EmuPath1=C:\Emulators
AssetPath1=C:\Assets
RomPath1=C:\Roms
DefaultPathPrompt=True
DownloadDatabasePrompt=True
DownloadEmulatorPrompt=True

You should always have it prompt you to set your default paths if you intend on changing them between emulators. So do not take the tick off "Always Show".
