Freedo and 3do not running yet for me - microsoft .net error

[Garetmax]

Hi,

I've followed UncleT's guide but my freedo for 3do isn't working.

I've tried to run from the command line and in mala and in both I get a microsoft .net framework error and shows info about freedowrapper in the details in the dialog box.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Scott

I got it going.

I added some extra comments into the freedowrapper.cfg file and it possibly didn't like that.

Once I removed that, everything works except when I exit it shifts the layout down to the right. 
I'm not sure if that was it, but its working.

solution for layout bug

Options/GUI/Game Start/Quit

--Reorder layout after game quit

Just a quick comment about that Layout bug (and fix).

I found that just checking that box to reorder the layout won't necessarily work. At least, it didn't at first for me.

From what I could tell, Stepmania would change resolutions and then change it back, BUT windows wouldn't necessarily finish the process of changing the resolution before Mala got control, so the "redraw" process in mala was happening based on the wrong screen resolution.

To fix it, I created a little BAT file to run stepmania, with a WAITFOR of a couple seconds after stepmania executes.

Then I pointed Mala at the bat file to launch instead of the stepmania.exe file directly.

That way, when stepmania exits, it waits for a few seconds, which gives the screen res switch time to happen, and then mala gets control, and it redraws properly.

I did the reorder layout and that works for me with the freedo layout.
It didn't work for the Stella Atari 2600 layout shift.

Do you think a batch file will work for Stella?  If so, could you post a copy of the batch?

Thanks,
Scott
