GameLaunch FE help, no loado
« on: June 03, 2004, 06:52:42 am »
I have winxp

normal mame not mame32

glaunch runs and all my roms are listed but if i go to load one it flickers then goes back to the glaunch list

I changed the debug mode to yes so it was on and it worked fine so i dont know why it wont work with debug mode off (debug mode pauses between commands so I cant leave it in debug mode)

It's tough to troubleshoot without some more info.  What does you config look like?  Mainly just the mame config file.
Off the top of my head, you may need to set the config to use the full rom path or full emulator path, or turn that off if it's on...can't say for sure without knowing how your setup.

This sounds like the usual bug that GameLauncher has when running under windows.

It does not like having spaces in the paths.  for example  'c:\Program Files\mame' does not work, but 'c:\mame' does wor.

Change your folder and path names to not have any spaces.

I don't know exactly why it works in debug mode when it does not work in normal mode, but it is a fairly well known problem with GameLauncher.
Real Life.  Still a poor substitute for video games!
