Title: Mamewah & Arcade Music Box
Post by: danybeatboy on January 02, 2005, 03:15:06 pm

I'm little bit confuse with that one....

My shortcut in my jukebox.ini will work only if i remove the space in the filename C:\Program Files\Arcade Music Box\Arcade Music Box.exe

so i have to rename it to C:\Program Files\Arcade Music Box\ArcadeMusicBox.exe in the .bat file if i want it to work.
And when it work, when i push the one player button, i cant see the loading screen in the Arcade Music Box, just a blue screen and after, i have the menu in Arcade Music Box?
Pretty strange no?
Maybe i miss something of how to launch PC applications? (need help there)

How are you trying to launch it?  As one of the 3 external apps?

What .bat file are you referring to?

What version of MAMEWAH?

I launch it as a PC games with a jukebox.ini, refering to a .lnk file
in that shortcut, i put the .exe filename like i mentionned.

OK, that's fine.

Quote

When i created the .lnk file, a .bat file was automatically created with the
same name... (jukebox.lnk and jukebox.bat) and both referring to the same
executable file as 'arcade music box.exe'

Not sure why that is, but you can ignore (delete) the .bat file.

Quote

I tried to execute the shortcut from a command line (cmd) , an it says that ...

C:\Program Files\Arcade Music Box\Jukebox.bat
C:\Program Files\Arcade Music Box\arcade music box.exe
 'arcade' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You just need quotes around the filename, ie "c:\program files\arcade music box\arcade music box.exe"...

However, you have no need to run jukebox.bat or arcade music box.exe, since MAMEWAH will launch the exe for you from the LNK file.  Make sure you have rom_extension set to 'LNK', emulator_executable as 'pc' and list_generation_method rom_folder.

Hope that helps...

Ok, it doesnt work with the quotes, but finally, i make it work....
i installed Powerdesk pro 6, and you have an option to copy or paste
filename or path as a text, and, believe it or not, after i did with it, it WORK!
But, for me, it was the same thing that i wrote before....??  :-[

It should be something with the keyboard configuration ???

So thank's for everything.... Have a good year!  ;)
