Apple IIe using MESS w/GameEx

[Krakerman]

Anyone get Apple IIe using MESS to work with GameEx? I tried the following command line, but it doesn't work as it kicks back to GameEx as soon as it runs:

messpp.exe apple2e -s6d1 "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" -joy -now -nonewui

[Krakerman]

This used to work but since redoing my config it doesn't work anymore

Try the following:

messpp.exe apple2e -flop1 "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" -joy -now -nonewui

I had posted a similar post about this before but don't remember where it is. I'll search later for it. This is based off the supported media for apple2e.

Edit: Does this look familiar? LOL.

I thought I asked this before. I was trying -flop when it is -flop1. Thanks for finding that previous post as I thought I had asked that before

LOL. No problem. When I found the post, I didn't realize it was you who had asked before. . Always best to check with MESS to see the supported media so that you'll know the correct parameter for launching.

You can do that from the commandline:

C:\Emulators\MESS\mess.exe -listdevices apple2e

Or for all systems:

C:\Emulators\MESS\mess.exe -listdevices

You can do that from the commandline:

C:\Emulators\MESS\mess.exe -listdevices apple2e

Or for all systems:

C:\Emulators\MESS\mess.exe -listdevices

Actually the correct parameter would be the following:

mess.exe apple2e -listmedia

The one you listed will give the details of that device (system) which is what will be needed to run the system. -listmedia will give a brief description which is the switch needed to run the rom. Also it gives a list of the extensions supported.

I must be doing something wrong then?

What version of MESS are you using?

[fRequEnCy]

Using version 0.137 here.

[Tempest]

Mess 0.135

And FWIW, the output for my command in 0.135 looks just like yours in 0.137

Go figure.

Nice. Guess it's good to know for users who don't update as frequently. . Update your stuff! You're behind.

I'm always behind.

I was away from my computer this morning, and Digsby alway shows you away...

[Krakerman]

MESS site still has the parameter for the apple2e listed wrong.

Which is why it is best to use the command line to find out what the options are for your version of Mess.
