Title: Howard Casto (headkaze referred me from Game Ex).
Post by: katuuuz on August 28, 2006, 08:44:06 pm
"I didn't write the one that supports Alcohol 120. You can post a question on arcadecontrols.com forum and ask Howard Casto how his version works."

This is in reguards to the chankast-launch file when you are using alcohol 120% instead of daemon tools.  I've configured the launch program to suit my games, but can't get it to launch in the Game Ex front end.  I followed kazes' configuration posted in user configs in the game ex forum and it won't work.  He told me to talk to you over at this board.  If you can get back to me, I'd highly appreciate it.

Link me to the post in that forum so I can see how you have it setup.

Ahh you mean you are using his right now.  Mine works essentially the same except you set it up first.  Just download it and follow the instructions in the readme.  Basically you have to tell it the virtual drive letter and where the axcmd.exe is.

as i said i know nothing about game ex   I think those shortcuts are for it though.  All a wrapper does is allow a fe to be launched via command line.

I think it's actually posted at the bottom of that thread you linked me to.  Very rude of the guy not to mention who made it or where he got it from though. 

consult the wikki, it's all in there
