Trouble launching PC game (Tiger Woods) from Mala

<< < (2/3) > >>

SirPoonga:
If you don't know what it is you aren't using it :)
Then I am out of ideas.

loadman:
This is a long-shot

Maybe it's a working directory issue  :dunno

On your windows shortcut try putting the fullpath in the start-in section (without the tiger.exe at the end)

Similar to the example pic attached

edge:
Maybe its a resolution issue?

-What resolution are you running your windows desktop at?
-What resolution is Mala running at?
-What resolution is Tiger Woods at?

SGT:
FWLIW - I am running Tiger Woods 2007 from Mala without a problem. All my PC games are run from a one-line CMD file and the roms are actually LNK(shortcut) files to the actual games.  MALA's emulator executable is a CMD file that launches the appropriate LNK file based on the ROM name that MALA passes to it.

So in other words:

Executable:
c:\emulators\pcgames\runPCGame.cmd

Rom path:
c:\emulators\pcgames\roms
(this folder containes all the Lnk files)

Rom extensions:
Lnk

Commandline:
"%rom%"

Contents of runPCgame.cmd:
call %1


There may have been an easier way, but it works for me.  I doubt your setup has anything to do with your problem, but who knows.

Organic Jerk:
You don't even have to attribute an "emulator" when running lnk files, so that cmd file you set up is actually an extra step.. 

just point the "rom folder" to where the shortcuts are and it should work.

I also do not have the commandline in quotes... just %rom%
