Configuring Mamewah with Mess-Ti99_4A
(1/2) > >>
TeutonicDarkness:
Hello,


 I was wondering If anyone has manged to have
any luck launching Mess as a Ti99_4A Emulator
through Mamewah?

I have manged to trick it into loading just
bare Ti99_4a using 2 differnt methods


1.) by pointing to bios instead of Roms.
But this method is useless no games will load.

2.) After the first method I got to thinking of
alternative methods to make this a reality...

Instead of pointing Mamewah to the exe
I point it to a .bat file that loads
the command prompt then basically types
Mess ti99_4a



This way I can get The ti99_4a up and running without
tying up the rom path from pointing to the bios
as I did earlier.

However no matter what I try Mess appear  uncapable
of Accepting "Rom Paths" or "Rom Extensions".

so this appears useless too...
..................................


Ok I did notice when I used the GUI version and select
the Roms to load if creates a entry of the roms
in this file:

C:\mess\ini\ti99_4a.ini

ti99_4a.ini
contains entry for the Roms to be loaded.



Is It possible maybe to create .Bat files for Each Rom
with the Rom Names
( actually select them from mamewah instead or real roms)

that could write a entry in the ti99_4a.ini file?




I admittadly dont know much about .bat files or what they
are capable of .  ::)

..................................................





This is all I can think of any ideas or input is welcome!

Well a little more progress in a way....


I did finnally discover how to launch The Ti99_4A
through the commandline and use carts that way.

I would have never figured that out on my own
( Its not documented well in Mess )

I found on another forum that I must use -cart1


or for multi carts -cart1 (Cart address here) -cart2 (cart address here)
...........



However still no luck at all getting any cart to load at through
Mamewah!


I did however manage to make a .bat file that if click
will automaticall co to command prompt enter the info
and Lanch Mess>Ti99_4A !

With whatever cart I desire  :)

..............

I'm still wondering If I can use this somehow to Force
Mamewah into Launching the Games I want?



Stilll no ideas anyone?

Did you try this http://www.99er.net/download2/index.php?act=view&id=134 it does that automatically for you.
You would then use something like Howard's key press kit http://dragonking.arcadecontrols.com/simplephp/ccount/click.php?id=25  to select and launch games.

 Yes I know of the 99Menu just would not look right
going through Mamewah.

If I was just trying to use an emulator sure!


But I am close to figuring it out....

as I said I can configure .Bats for every Rom
and the .Bats work perfectly..  :)



I just need to pick the right program to select under
Emulator executable...

One that will open the .Bat file its being sent!

I tried just using explorer.exe but having explorer runing
when using Mamewah just dosn't look right.... ???



But thanks I'll keep tinkering around with it.

Just put down.

### Execution Settings ###
emulator_executable                       PC

And using Howard's key press simulator kit you would only see it for a brief second.
