Boot CD installs DOS, Vantage, Raine, MAME (1 of 7 versions) and Game Launcher

So I finished installing all my roms etc yesterday. I have a second drive, E:, which has all my roms and emulators etc and C: is the main drive with windows on it.

I have fully configured game launcher and it starts fine. I can select games etc but when I choose a game, game launcher closes and the game doesn't open.

I see "runit.bat" has the commands in it ready to go to play a game, but it doesnt seem to be running when I select a game.

Highly annoying.

I even wrote my own batch file for when windows starts. It's something like this:


--- Code: ---E:
cd glaunch
glaunch
call runit.bat

--- End code ---

which works for the first game you select, but when you exit the game it obviously goes back to windows. I even added a label to make it loop:


--- Code: ---:START
E:
cd glaunch
glaunch
call runit.bat
GOTO START

--- End code ---

but every time you exit a game the command prompt minimizes and you have to maximize is again and then glaunch will open.

Any idea why glaunch might be breaking in the first place in windows XP?

Thanks

GameLauncher is"tricky", you can either study it's docs carefully or try an "intuitive" program like MAME32 or MALA.

Yup I went on the hunt for another front end and found MaLa. That is a really awesome front end and worked perfectly first time.

Hi Dillsta,

If DOS has got you down you could try MAME-XP :

(EDIT : see first post)

(please don't spread the link)

I think it's groovy :)

Let me know what you think,
