GensFE v2.11, wont run games in Mamewah....
« on: May 10, 2006, 05:31:43 pm »
Another Mamewah 1.61 upgrade hiccup.

GensFE ran fine in .97, now in 1.61 when I choose game, only blank emulator screen shows up.

Heres the ini file:

### GEN.ini (mamewah v1.60) ###

emulator_title                                      Genesis

### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path                                             c:\GEN\roms
rom_extension                                     zip
dat_file                                 
nms_file                                 
catver_ini_file                           
list_generation_method                       rom_folder

### Execution Settings ###
emulator_executable                            c:\Gen\GenFE.exe
commandline_format                            [name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
alt_commandline_format_1                  [name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
alt_commandline_format_2                  [name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
game_specific_config_path                 


Any takers?

Thanks Again!

first off, {autodosbox} is only for mame. Also, it is not needed for the more recent versions of mame. For GENS try changing the dosbox/nodosbox and/or safelaunch/nosafelaunch settings.

Thanks for the reply john, but still no game.

I set the commandline format to:

commandline_format                        [name]{dosbox}{safelaunch}

Now the GENS emulator opens fine into fullscreen, but still no game loads. Do I have to modify the "[name]" portion in some way?

I would think so. You probably need to include the path. Something like so:

"[rompath]\[name].[romext]"
