ATOMICFE 0.19 ONLINE! (see videos)

<< < (7/7)

Mixed news on my attempts at making this work.

When I test my laptop for the scripting engine... it works, but still no AtomicFE, Same error.

However, my desktop machine does work with Atomic, and I think I like it.  There are some odd things that I am not sure about. When I start the program it either lags a while or waits for a keystroke or something, whenever I try to wait it out I give up and hit Ctrl+Alt and before I can add Delete it starts to show me that it's working.  I needed to play around with the configuration a little bit because after running the plug and play install I decided that I didn't want to move all my roms.  The interface for setting this software up is nice.  I am used to having to deal with bunches of confusing setup with some independantly-developed software and that is not the case here.

I am still going to try to fix-up my laptop and get this working, but either way I must commend you on a nice FE.  I was leaning tword another popular one, but I like your setup and options better, and I haven't found any features that I would miss in your software.

Thanks, and hopefully I can get this to work on my laptop.  (actually... hopefully I can get a cabinet built and get this to work on my dedicated emulation machine.)

Later,
Brian

Hey what kind of Gateway laptop do you have?  I just got a CX210X.  I love it.  I use Atomic but have not tried it on my laptop yet, so I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes.

My laptop is 2 years old and in spite of being slighty worn visually it still works great.  I am obviously having some trouble getting this to work with it, I can probably blame myself for that, I've put so much random stuff on this computer with very little extensive cleanup that  I am sure the registry and every other little bit of the os is clogged and confused.  The processor is having a bit of a tough time with games like Killer Instinct and Fighting Layer, but I get the impression that those type of games take some substantial horsepower.  They run on my machine, but the audio stutters and I think that they are running slow.

Sorry for the hijack, you can have your thread back now.

Later,
Brian

If the SP2 re-load doesn't work, Microsoft recommends doing an in-place upgrade to fix scripting engine problems:

Good luck!

humm..Strange, could you do that test .

Disable all plug'n play modules you installed  using plugnplayManager.exe  .

Open the file Atomic019.cfg with the notepad.

Find the line :

WINDOWMODE=NO    change it to WINDOWMODE=YES

Save and quit

Change the color depth of your windows Desktop to 65535 color (16bit/pixel) using windows control panel, Display properties.

Run Atomic.exe

Atomic will run in a window.  and may be you will see somewhere a message box, or something that could help to understand what happens.  Look in the task manager what happens too. The process list... or something...
