Lazarus Adding New emus/mp3 help!

[Demon-Seed]

Hi,
I have mame working now I want to add NES and others.. but it says I need DAT files? I can not find a Nes Dat file anywhere? where can one download it and other dats? i tried the link on Howards page but there is no NES dat? id do need it right? I am a little confused.

Also I run Arcade Jukebox 7 and wondered can I have it in Lazarus?? like launch it from it?? how???

I am sorry but I am new to adding more emus...

Hi
Ok i see there are wrappers....but i followed the steps and cant get it working..the emu doesnt show up at all in laz...i also am lost with this Key press ini it says its supposed to have cause its not there... dam we need instructions for dummies like me.

Demon launching a game and actually having it show up in the list are two totally different things.  You need the wrapper to launch the game and the dat file to add it to your list.  All of this is quite clear in the documentation.  Sorry but you asked for it...

RTFM!!!!!!

Hey
I have been reading it over and over..I will try again.

[Demon-Seed]

well I got zinc and the list showing up..when I run it I get a run time 70 error and it runs like s-11 like 20 times and crashes? s-11 is part of the street fighter roms for zinc...

[Demon-Seed]

ok... what it does now is nothing..eheh i hit run game and it makes the sound but nothing happens....nothing leaves to go into zinc.

Hey
Ok this is the problem.... it attempts to run the game but runs like s11-launch many times..causing system to do nothing... that s11 is part of street fighter rom... it most be something not set right in the launch area or something but I have no clue..any suggestions?

it runs the exe cmd-launch.exe over and over..

[Howard_Casto]

If cmd-launch.exe is launching over and over then you are pressing the key over and over before the sound file has finished playing so that it will launch.

All of your presses are buffered until it returns to lazarus so what's happening is you have cmd-launch setup wrong and it's exiting and retrieving those key strokes and trying over and over, how ever many times you pressed the select key.  My wrapper is pre-configured for zinc but zinc has a ton of command line options you have to pass to it before it will laucnh properly.  You'll notice int he sample zinc.cfg file I include with it that i have it pointed to the zin.cfg file in the zinc dir, which is where I store all of my command line arguments.  You need to consult your zinc documentation.  

If the only way you've ever launched zinc is via one of the front-ends you can gt for it, then you are going ot have a ton of trouble getting it setup.  

Open a command line and run just zinc and it will give you a list of all the command line options...play with it until you get it to launch the way you want..... and remember the options you passed for it.... you can then add those to teh command line arguments section of the zinc.cfg file in your cfgs folder in lazarus.

Hey,
Maybe ppl could post complete configurations and dirs?? or something? so idiots like me can basically copy or just change slightly? Maybe this is easier than it appears....once i get one working maybe

[Howard_Casto]

I haven't gotten any so far, but if people will send me their configurations then i will make a page or them...

The wrappers are hard to get working on a few emus, so it might be a good idea....
