Title: epsxe in mamewah - doesn't generate a list
Post by: panterafreak on January 23, 2006, 10:04:11 am

Ok so I have mamewah 1.61 and epsxe 1.60 and am trying to get epsxe inside of the mamewah interface.  I searched google for an example and followed that best I could but while the epsxe works outside of mamewah it only shows as an entry with no games (I have 5 or so it should pick up).  I tell it to "generate list" but no love.

Here is my epsxe.ini

Code: [Select]

### epsxe.ini (mamewah v1.61) ###

emulator_title                            Playstation

### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path                                 
rom_extension                             bat
dat_file                                 
nms_file                                 
catver_ini_file                           
list_generation_method                    rom_folder_vs_listxml

### Execution Settings ###
emulator_executable                       
commandline_format                        [name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
alt_commandline_format_1                  [name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
alt_commandline_format_2                  [name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
game_specific_config_path                 

### Artwork Locations ###
artwork_1_image_path                     
artwork_2_image_path                     
artwork_3_image_path                     
artwork_4_image_path                     
artwork_5_image_path                     
artwork_6_image_path                     
artwork_7_image_path                     
artwork_8_image_path                     
artwork_9_image_path                     
artwork_10_image_path                     
movie_preview_path                       
movie_artwork_no                          1

### Screen-Saver Settings ###
enable_music_in_screensaver               1
saver_type                                slideshow
movie_path                               
movie_fullscreen                          1
quit_delay                                30
wrapper_executable                       
wrapper_commandline_format                [name]{nodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
scr_file                                 

### External Application Settings ###
ipc_file_or_path                         
app_1_executable                         
app_1_commandline_format                 
app_2_executable                         
app_2_commandline_format                 
app_3_executable                         
app_3_commandline_format                 
auto_launch_apps                         

### Additional Settings ###
music_path                               
lcd_display_file_path                     
lcd_fe_text                               

### Settings used by MAMEWAH ###
current_list                              0

Taking a suggestion from the example I found I have a batch file (.bat) to fire off each game, here is an example:

Code: [Select]

c:
cd\mamewah\emulators\epsxe\
ePSXe.exe -nogui -loadbin c:\mamewah\roms\epsxe\gg.bin

rom_path                                 
rom_extension                             bat
dat_file                                 
nms_file                                 
catver_ini_file                           
list_generation_method                    rom_folder_vs_listxml



Change the list method to just rom_folder...  and your rom_path to your rom path...

Check Jcrouse's site for some pretty helpful ini's to start you off...

Ok that got it to generate a list (thanks!), however now when I select a game from the list it doesn't launch.  Usually you highlight the game and then hit enter to launch, it just sits there doin nothing.  Any ideas?

Try hitting "1" to launch. That's the default behavior.

Nope, doesnt work with 1 or enter whereas that works with the other emulators I have installed (mamewah draxsynn pack).

As LJHalfbreed said, check out JCrouse's site (it has an example for epsxe).

Basically your commandline_format is incorrect...for starters {autodosbox} only works with MAME.

Thanks guys, that second push towards the site with examples helped, missed the playstation one below, everything is working now after I renamed the layouts files and renamed my cd images to .bin.

Much appreciated!
