Title: PSXe on mamewah?
Post by: RedSquirrel on August 31, 2003, 11:52:13 am
When I finally get my cab up and running, i would like to run psxe on it. I love mamewah and want to use this as a frontend to all my emulators. Is it possible to use PSXe with mamewah?

Hehe life can be complicated sometimes  ;D
Just follow TalkingOctopus instructions, but if you never ever used batchfiles before I can se how its would get confusing and if you have the latest version on MameWah .bat files probably wont work... still its all in that thread, good luck.

I have never heard of batch file complications for ePSXe and mamewah.  For some reason the zinc + batch files + mamewah causes problems.  So make those batches...it really is simple, just annoying.

Well for me the problem remains no matter what I try to run via batches, still just make the batches and if it wont run them then you link them ;)

Make a new bat file eg. epsxe.bat
then fill the bat file with:
epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin %1
then in mamewah set this up as your emulator
make you list look for *.bin files and rename all you psx iso exstensions to bin, doesnt matter what format they are.
mamewah will load the command line epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin %1 replaceing %1 with the game in your list.

Waveryder quick question for ya, how have you gotten around the problem with calling psx games via a batch with spaces in them?

I don't have access to my mamecab right now. :) But, try quotes around the %1. I think this is how I got around that issue.

Well in mamewah I just set the emu to not use long file names.

I did try that but that before but with no joy :( , cheers anyway.

DK passes "ePSXe.cmd d:\emu\psx\isos\Ridge Racer Type4.bin" (without quotes) but the %1 within the cmd file only picks up 'd:\emu\psx\isos\Ridge'.

I suppose I could workaround this by creating a batch file for each game but that seemed messy. :(

Sorry, I'm not 100% sure on DK setup, but it sounds like you need to tell it to send romnames in short (8.3) filename format...

I'll try to check my cab tonight and see (might not get a chance since I'm actually mounting the monitor in it tonight!). I'm pretty certain I solved this issue, rather than renaming the files. I might have edited the mamewah EMUxx.CFG file directly. (MAMEWAH's easy enough to use but I'm just an edit the config files directly kind of dude ;).

I checked how I do it on my machine. I actually have this in the script as the image name argument to epsxe:

"%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9"

This works for me. It causes all of the space separated arguments to the script to be collected as a single argument for epsxe. This probably breaks if you have more than one space in a row in an image name or more than 9 words in a filename, but I personally haven't found those restrictions to be unmanageable. ;)

I actually ended up getting it to work like this at the weekend, cheers for the update though.   :)
