Title: turbografx cd (magic engine), win7 64, daemon tools lite and mala
Post by: tony.silveira on March 22, 2013, 05:25:22 pm: has anyone successfully gotten this combo to work? all of my CD images that worked perfectly under XP and mounted with an older version of DT no longer seem to work. they mount as an audio cd with the version of DT that is win 7 64 compatible. i can get mala to mount the image and magic engine to start up but pushing run says there is a disc error.

i love my turbo cd, can anyone help?

Since the last update of DT some of my game images have been very glitchy. I tried compatibility mode too.

I'm running w7 x64

Sounds like an issue I was having with ootake before I realized if I was mounting an image with pre commands I didn't need mala to boot something rom specific.

correct, just the CD command. it's that DL isnt mounting the discs correctly. even outside mala, magic engine isn't reading DL mounted discs. But...

ark - BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE! Alcohol did it perfectly, thank you for the suggestion. Now i just need to figure out command line for a52.

What was your precommand in case someone else was having same issue? Assuming something like :

cmd.exe /S /C "C:\magicengine\dtlite.exe -mount dt, 0, "%path%\%rom%.%ext%""

close, i had:

C:\magicengine\dtlite.exe -mount 0, "%path%\%rom%.%ext%"

Post by: harveybirdman on March 23, 2013, 12:27:26 am: Might give the dt syntax a go or Google command line dtlite. Of course if you were going to do that why not just search for the alcohol commands.
