Title: Mala, Mess & Vectrex
Post by: kegger on March 06, 2009, 03:12:31 pm
Hello all, I'm trying to get vectrex running with the proper overlay through Mala for the FE.
I can get this to work using batch files but wanted to know if it is possible to do through mala and command line parameters. Running from the command line here is the proper syntax: mess vectrex -cart "c:\mess\software\vectrex\armor_attack.bin" -view armor

the -view armor is the command to load the proper overlay. Is it possible to do this through mala or is batch files the only way to go for each game?

Also I suck at this command line stuff so another question is it possible to place batch files in another location other than the same directory as the mess exe? and if it is what would be an example.

Thanks

Ok I found the answer to my second question as to putting a batch file in a different folder other than where the exe is located. I believe the syntax is as follows

c:
cd\
cd mess
mess.exe vectrex -cart "c:\mess\software\vectrex\armor_attack.bin" -view armor


This file can be placed anywhere and still run the program and load Armor Attack with the proper overlay.
