ePSXe and Dragon King

[rod]

Does anyone knows how to configure ePSXe to run on DK?
I get the emulator to launch but not the game,i'm trying to use the keypress wrappers.I tried everything but i'm no expert.
Thanks

I would like to give you an answer, but I really can't.  The truth is the keypress wrapper is ancient at this point and I haven't seriously used espsxe for quite some time.  Something different is in the works, stay tuned.

i got it working on my cab ... not at home though so i cant get the files right now , i'll look at it when i get home tonight.

This is how I've got it working, firstly my DK cfg for PSX games

[Config]
extension=.bin
path=d:\EMU\PSX\epsxe160\
exe=ePSXe.cmd
send rom path=1
send exit keys=0
command line options=

Then in my epsxe directory I've created the following cmd which is called from the above.

epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin "%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9"

Hope this helps

did mine a little differnt ..

[Config]
extension=.bin
path=e:\epsxe160full\
exe=e:\epsxe160full\psx.bat
send rom path=1
send exit keys=1
command line options=

the bat file is

ePSXe.exe -nogui -loadiso %1



so basicly the same as above

Thanks a lot guys!I did what you said and it worked.I'm very happy and so is my kids.
  i don't want to be a pain in a butt but i have other questions about Z26 and pcsx2.
is it the same pattern that you guys wrote?
Anyway thanks so much

dont use either one myself , but basicly as long as it has a command line , it should be no problem ..

making and fooling with the lists and dats is the real adventure 


start by working out what you would need to type in a dos window to get the emulator to launch AND launch a game ( any game ) .. then just feed that into the config but replace the game name with %1


edit:
did a quick google and found the command for the z26 . .it's
z26 filename
so a config should look somthing like ( rom path not needed i would guess as it will append the bin at the end if you dont give it to the program ) ... enuf work for me , do your own search on the other

[Config]
extension=.bin
path=e:\z26\
exe=e:\z26\z26.exe
send rom path=0
send exit keys=1
command line options= -vN

              CC = AM -- Amiga mouse
              CC = NC -- no controller connnected

      -(CC -- select controller on right port (CC: see above)

        -! -- run interlaced games

        -0 -- start with player 0 hard

        -1 -- start with player 1 hard

        -4 -- allow all 4 directions on the joystick to be pressed
              simultaneously

        -b -- start in black and white

       -fN -- enable phosphorescent effect (N=0 through N=100,
              77=default) The parameter is the frame mixing
              coefficient (0 through 100) which specifies how much
              the bright pixel is favored over the dim pixel when
              mixing the value of two frames. The default is 77. If
              you specify a value greater than 100 or less than zero,
              the effect is disabled for games that are automatically
              recognized as needing this effect, like Yars Revenge.
              If N<0 or N>100 the effect is disabled for games that
              are automatically recognized as needing this effect like
              Yars Revenge.

       -pN -- paddle sensitivity (N=1 to 15 -- keyboard only)

       -PN -- enable lower sesitivity for PC joysticks / Stelladaptor

              control of games in windowed video modes just like full
              screen modes  (N=0 -- off, N=1 -- on)  default = on

        -G -- Grab all mouse and keyboard events. Use this if your window
              manager's hotkeys conflict with z26 hotkeys. This option
              is primarily intended for Linux/UNIX systems, but may be
              useful on Windows as well.

       -lN -- [changed] adjust lightgun by N cycles

       -aN -- adjust lightgun emulation by N scanlines

        -n -- show scanline count and FPS on game display

        -o -- simulate PAL color loss

        -q -- quiet

       -sN -- specifies the size of the sound queue
             (default = 4608   --   max = 65536)
         
        -r -- Windows: run at monitor speed
              Linux:   This option doesn't work, and is disabled.

       -rN -- run at N frames per second. Give a large number
