Title: Quick Game Launcher Question
Post by: Tahnok on May 13, 2004, 08:04:23 pm

I am trying to run Game Launcher and am having a few troubles. I have gotten it almost working. When I run it normally and select a MAME game it flickers and then goes back to the Game Launcher screen. However, when I run it in Debug mode I get the following message:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Nick's Stuff\Front End\Game Laun
cher\glaunch>cd C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Nick's Stuff\MAM
E

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Nick's Stuff\MAME>echo Will run:

GameLauncher is an old DOS based front-end.  The windows version still uses basically the same code.

The problem is the spaces in the folder names.  I'm not sure why it works in debug and not in the normal mode, but it  is a well known problem with GL.

Move MAME to another directory so that there are no spaces in the directory names.  Most people have it in c:\mame
