VertiWAH - vertical MAME frontend - Need Testers!
Howard_Casto:
I got a gamelist but only after figuring out some of the confusion that pmf just mentioned. (you need a full path to the games.txt) I still can't get mame to launch though, it just locks up. It might be the way you are launching mame if you are doing it the way you did in gl.exe
EndTwist:
Wow, that was quick...
Ok..

GDI-Plus is rotating it for me, since I got a .tlb that has all the functions I need. Its pretty nifty.
--- Quote ---chdrive "c:\mame\"
chdir "c:\mame\"
shellandwait "mame.exe -listfull >" & app.path &"\games.txt"
and poof a gamelist is generated in the myfe folder

I'll be sure to fix that in my code. The GLGen program was a quick solution (its still an early FE!)
--- Quote ---Inside your skin file, you're making reference to a gif file that's local to your hard drive. (Don't worry, I accidently did just the same thing w/ Kymaera). You might want to save the image to under your skin directory, and have the application look for it using a relative path.

Doh! I should've noticed that. Ah...I'll fix that ASAP!
--- Quote ---First off the ocx's you are using don't self-register.... I get an error and can't even start the fe. Your going to have ot use a proper install program or make a bat that uses regsvr(which i can tell you from experince can be a pain to support)

Unfortunately, I need the OCXes to rotate the text, but I will make a reg program (or include it in installation)
I'll get to fixing this problems ASAP. Anymore, just post. Also, any sugestions, please post!!
[edit] See updates in first post [/edit]

*would anyone care to sticky this?*
Howard_Casto:
I wanted to mention this... it's funny about the ocx files..... I've tried installing/uninstalling a few times (to help you debug) and sometimes it complains about teh ocx and sometimes it doesn't. It seems to work after it errors out though. Odd huh?
EndTwist:
Actually that's very strange...but it won't make too much of a difference in the long run. It's also odd because on all 3 of the computers I've tested it on, I've never needed to register it.
Also, has anyone been able to get it to run now?
