Running different configs from command line

[SpyhunterUK]

I want to run the same version of GameEx (eg: Same folder) using different Config (ini) files. It states in the FAQ on the site that this can be done via;

GameEx.exe config="C:\GameEx\CONFIG\GameEx-MAMEonly.ini"

but I have tried this and it doesn't work - should i need to do anything else or have I got the syntax correct I have double checked).

Thanks,

Neil

any one got any suggestions please...?

How about:

C:\GameEx\GameEx.exe config="C:\GameEx\CONFIG\GameEx-MAMEonly.ini"

Other than that, my only suggestion would be to try removing the dash from the filename.

Tried that as well. Even tried just one word .ini and the full link - GameEx runs but runs as the standard setup rather than using my config file.

And that's the correct path? You're GameEx install isn't in the program files folder? Cuz that command works fine on my end. All I can think is maybe the ini file is corrupted or missing something.

i have the gameex working fine in that folder if i rename the file gameex.ini, etc

i wanted to have different configs available from the command line launch.

is there anything that sets custom configs enabled anywhere?

I just looked at the code, and it looks like the log should shed some light (as per!). Post it please.

I also think I found the problem. It might be confusing the "-" in the filename as mentioned previously.
