GameLists: Multiple emuls in same list work-around solution
sega_mad:
Cheers, Will have a go.
I'm running mame 1.14...will that be OK for sega rally, and Daytona?
Will these 2 games be supported in mame in the near future, so I wont have to run model 2?
thanks again

Please help. I can't get it working.
Here's what I did
In C drive I created a folder called "m2emulator" (this has the m2 exe emulator inside)
Also in C drive, I created a folder called "otheremulator" (this has a m2 folder, and inside this is the Daytona zip rom)
I followed your other instructions regarding mala, and had no problem there, so I think the problem must be with the mame.cmd file.
this is what's in my mame.cmd
if "%2" == "C:\otheremulator\m2" goto m2
mame.exe %1
exit
:m2
cd ..\m2emulator
closemul.exe emulator.exe zip %1 rar
exit
Hoping you can help,
Cheers,
Sega mad

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it will be a long time before computers are fast enough for Mame to run Daytona at an acceptable speed.

1) First of all, are you able to run Daytona in the M2 emulator manually (not using Mala)? In other words, at a C prompt in the m2emulator folder, does it work when you type:
--- Code: ---closemul emulator.exe daytona
--- End code ---
2) Is the m2emulator folder on the same folder level as the Mame folder? If its not then the "cd..\m2emulator" command will not work. In other words, if the Mame folder is here:
--- Code: ---c:\emulators\mame
--- End code ---
Then the m2emulator folder should be here:
--- Code: ---c:\emulators\m2emulator
--- End code ---
3) Also the folder names where the m2 rom is stored is case sensitive in the batch file. Therefore since "\otheremulator\m2" is in your batch file, these actual folder names MUST be lower case.
4) Make sure there is not a Daytona rom in your mame roms folder or Mame will run the rom instead of the m2 emulator.
5) What are any errors you are getting? If you're not getting any errors, set Mala to NOT hide the command window. Put a pause command into your batch file to help with troubleshooting. For example:
--- Code: ---:m2
pause
cd ..\m2emulator
closemul.exe emulator.exe zip %1 rar
exit
--- End code ---
When you run Daytona from Mala, (if you unhide the command window) you should see a black command window and the code stopping on your pause command. This will at least tell you whether the batch file is branching to the m2 section or not.
If none of that helps, you need to post screen shots of the pertinent Mala configuration screens that you have set up. You also need to tell me what folder Mame is in and answer ALL the questions above. ;)

Hi again,
Man I feel stupid, I can't even complete question number 1...can you spell that out for me!!
I moved the m2emulator folder to the mame folder...no help
Did have the case (lower) correct
Daytona rom is not in mame
Not getting any errors....it wont run, just goes back to mala!!
I tried the pause in the batch file, and unhide the command window. but the black screen was gone so fast i couldn't read it!!
As for the last one, how do I post screen shots!!
So sorry for all the dumb questions, and thanks for your help so far.
