It needs a loader. You are using some intermediate build.

There is a sample loader here : http://forums.ngemu.com/nulldc-discussion/113176-naomi-loader-cli-ready.html

That I authored a while back, I really havent used NullDC for Naomi since Makaron and Demul.

If you really need this build I can re-write this loader, or edit it slightly.

if you have the time it would be great if you don't mind doing a loader for nullDC-Naomi-r108. PS thanks for all your help as I am very new @ all this and am learning so much.

Sure you want to zip up your emu and PM me the package?

Got the package.

This loader is quick and dirty, no frills or error checking.

Upzip and place loader.exe in the same directory as the emulator.

Gameex config

command is Loader.exe "[rompath]\[romfile]"

Map keys off

Romextention *.lst

Let me know if it works, if not Ill spend a lil more time on it.

Thanks. I will try tonight.

it works great thanks. next question I will need to use xpadder to map my arcade sticks any way of getting gameEX to open and close it when the emu closes?

By "it" you mean xpadder? Sure. Lauched before and launch on exit are built into gameex, that may work for what you want to do.

If not it can be added onto the loader.

[Sureshot]

Yes xpadder... so if I put it in Launch before it will close aster the emu does?

Kinda.

Xpadder has the ability to use specific controller profiles, usage may be "c:\path to xpadder\xpadder.exe" proflename.profileextention

Try loading xpadder via the command prompt to sure your profile is loading correctly. Then if it is, the command you are using via command prompt will be put in the launch before section.

Now gameex will not close it once the emu closes, thats where launch after comes in. You will have to close the process. There are utilities like PSKILL and others that will kill a process by name. Pskill.exe Xpadder.exe

Will kill the xpadder process (thus closing it)

If I were to add it to the loader, I would need the exact path as it exists in your system to xpadder. I would also need the exact verbage of loading the profile. For example it may look like like this. xpadder.exe profilename /m

In the loader i would have

Run, c:\program files\Xpadder\xpadder.exe test /m (assuming the path is right)

Then when Esc is pressed

Process, Close, Xpadder.exe

This would close the xpadder process. Assuming is is Xpadder.exe

There are some 4 year old posts talking about the same thing

EDIT:

After reading my 4 year old post you do not need to kill it in launch after you can run the program using /C to close xpadder. So it makes this super east to implment in Gameex.

[Sureshot]

I have pskill I am just unsure how to get it to run and kill the process from gameex after closing the EMU. this is the location of PSKILL

C:\Users\tony_gallone.OTTAWA\pskill.exe

Pskill wont run the process, it will just close it.

Open Xpadder, then open your command prompt and type this, or paste it. See if it closes it.

C:\Users\tony_gallone.OTTAWA\pskill.exe xpadder.exe

Or

Launch xpadder again, via command prompt with the /c switch.

This should also close it.

[Sureshot]

it closed it so now I just put this (C:\Users\tony_gallone.OTTAWA\pskill.exe xpadder.exe) in the run after and it should work?

Yep

EDIT: BTW, Marvel Vs Capcom 2 crashes this emulator, whcih is one of my favorate Naomi games. So I still recommend Makaron over NullDC.

[Sureshot]

Crap i did not try MVC 2 yet.... Guess I am going to have to play with Makaron. What ver do you use?

I'm using 12/5 even though 12/7 is out. The author talked about possible regressions... So I haven't played with it yet.

[Sureshot]

I have both and for the life of me I cant figure how to get 2 player keyboard config to work on the .JVS do you have any idea. I atached the file. it looks good but wont take.

JVS (keyboard).zip

[Sureshot]

I got the .JVS Working fine so no worries . I do have 2 quick questions for you if you have the time. I want to play Virtual tennis 2 but Makaron plays it but looks like crap. NullDC the one I sent you plays it fine but for the life of me I can get 2 player config to work on it. if you have a sec can you look @ it? and I was wondering if you knew of a good emu for Naomi 2 boards so I can play DOA2?

This is working and can be marked as resolved.

thanks again.
