Dragon King setup
« on: November 07, 2004, 02:16:46 pm »
I've been using Mamewah for a while, but would like to try DK.  I'm having trouble with initial setup.  I am getting a "Run Time Error '52", bad file name or number.

I read and followed the docs, but am still having this issue.  The default directories were for an "E" drive and mame.exe.  Mame and my roms are on my "C" drive and I'm using mamepp.exe.  Is this something dumb I should know?

Below are my .ini files.  Suggestions are appreciated!  Go easy on me...

INI files:
[Dirs]
***Enter all your rom paths... Just like you do in a mame.ini

roms=c:\mame\roms

***Put These in as a base folder.  I.E. If your snaps are in "e:\mame\snap\"
***then the entry should be: "e:\mame\"

Primary Artwork Dir=c:\mame\snap
Additional AW Dirs=
***The alternate elements allow you to have two more artwork elements besides the usual.
***Simply put the name of the sub folder (like "\controls\").
***Note:  Skins must have an alt-element slot defined for this to work.  

AltElement1=\cpanels\
AltElement2=\misc\

[startvd]
[path]
logo=Mame.png
caption=Mame
useclones=0
searchstrings:5=MAME
filters:6=*mature*;9=*Working No*;6=BIOS
[/path]
[/startvd]

--------------------------------------------------------------

[Config]
extension=.zip
path=C:\mame\mamepp.exe
exe=mamepp.exe
send rom path=1
send exit keys=0
command line options=-ctrlr ragingdragon -lightgun -throttle

[Command Line Options]

If you wish to add extra command line options for a specific rom(s) use romname=command line options syntax.
For example:

#pacman=-resolution 640x480x32

or

#area51=-lightgun

Of course, remove the "#," those are there to comment out the examples. You can use either the parent or clone name.

bzone=-noartwork_crop

you put the exe name in the path... the exe name goes only in the exe entry... thus the seperate entries :)

Also, even though the instructions are directly above the entry you set the artwork dir to c:\mame\snap rather than c:\mame\

Please read the online docs a little.  ;)
