epsxe in mamewah - doesn't generate a list

[panterafreak]

Ok so I have mamewah 1.61 and epsxe 1.60 and am trying to get epsxe inside of the mamewah interface.  I searched google for an example and followed that best I could but while the epsxe works outside of mamewah it only shows as an entry with no games (I have 5 or so it should pick up).  I tell it to "generate list" but no love.

Here is my epsxe.ini

Code: [Select]

Taking a suggestion from the example I found I have a batch file (.bat) to fire off each game, here is an example:

Code: [Select]

c:
cd\mamewah\emulators\epsxe\
ePSXe.exe -nogui -loadbin c:\mamewah\roms\epsxe\gg.bin


[LJHalfbreed]

rom_path                                 
rom_extension                             bat
dat_file                                 
nms_file                                 
catver_ini_file                           
list_generation_method                    rom_folder_vs_listxml



Change the list method to just rom_folder...  and your rom_path to your rom path...

Check Jcrouse's site for some pretty helpful ini's to start you off...

Ok that got it to generate a list (thanks!), however now when I select a game from the list it doesn't launch.  Usually you highlight the game and then hit enter to launch, it just sits there doin nothing.  Any ideas?

Try hitting "1" to launch. That's the default behavior.

Nope, doesnt work with 1 or enter whereas that works with the other emulators I have installed (mamewah draxsynn pack).

As LJHalfbreed said, check out JCrouse's site (it has an example for epsxe).

Basically your commandline_format is incorrect...for starters {autodosbox} only works with MAME.

Thanks guys, that second push towards the site with examples helped, missed the playstation one below, everything is working now after I renamed the layouts files and renamed my cd images to .bin.

Much appreciated!
