Your glaunch.cfg file looks OK
Your .map .rom and .bat files are to be ok. You could remove the batch1 and batch2 entries though.
Your generic.cfg file has errors.
directory = c:.generic
Probably should be: directory = c:\generic
screen_shot_directory = c:.\generic\snap
Should be: screen_shot_directory = c:\generic\snap
executable = call robo.bat Have also tried robotron.exe here
The executable line should be: executable = call
the executable line you are using will cause GL to issue the following command: call robo.bat robo
What you really want to issue is: call c:\generic\robo
use_extension =
Should be: use_extension = no
use_rom_directory =
Probably should be: use_rom_directory = yes
Now for the other questions.
1. Now that I have multiple menus - Vantage and Generic, everytime I launch GL, it puts me at the Generic menu. I can toggle to the Vantage menu and run a game, but when I return to GL, I'm back at the Generic menu.
Why would GL not put me back to where I was?
2. Everytime I toggle to Vantage, the menu lands on superg, regardless of what game was last run.
Is this normal? I guess I just expected to be at the start of the list "A" games or at least whatever game was last run.
3. FPS is now in the 40's for Vantage with throttle on when running under GL. Throttle off only raises to upper 40's.
Is this much slow down normal? I was running 60+, throttle on and several hunderd (depending on game) throttle off when running Vantage from command line.
I no longer use GL because it did not run well onder Win2K Pro on my newer PC, so I am going from memory here.
1 & 2. GL should rememer what the last game run for each list, as long as it exit normaly. When it crashes, you usually end up with the last game run from the last time it exitted normally.
3. FPS should not be affected by any frontend software! Most (If not all FE's) terminate themselves when they launch a game. I know that GL does this, so it should not be affecting your FPS.
