Dragon King and Z26 Bad file name or number
Shieldwolf:
1. actually I saw that I had the "[/startvd]" I had misplaced.
2. after I had posted, but I still can't launch the emu I get the list just not the emu.
3. I don't erase things if I don't know what they are.
4. I only "wing it" because I'm not clear on some of the documentation
5. I really do like your fe and appreciate the help

When you made the dat file did you call the header within the dat file "Atari" ? That is what you are calling in your config and your filters. The name of the dat file is irrelevant, but the name in the header must match the naming conventions of your cfg file and the filters you make.
Z26 probably needs short path names, so I doubt you can launch it without using a wrapper.
If you are having trouble understanding the docs then it's your responsibility to contact me and express your concerns. I can try to re-word things if they are gving people problems but I'm not a mind reader. ;)
For the record though, I think the docs are well written.. it's just they are long (and unfortunately have to be to cover everything) and people don't have the attention span to read them. I'm by no means accusing you of that though, I'm just making a generalized statment.

I actually thought the wrapper might be the way to go. I'm looking at the zinc wrapper and I'm having the same problem, where I get the list, but when I try it launch a game it will pause like it is running the command line and then just stop.
Now I will say I didn't touch your iconfig, because I thought it was already set for zinc, but I did read through it. I place it and the comand launch in my zinc folder and when the zinc cfg file to besure it was right

Shieldwolf-
If your cfg. is called 'Atari.cfg' then your searchstring needs to be 5=atari

Yup, emulator name (as in the header name in the dat file you are using), not exe name. Thanks for catching that.
