Game Launcher + Nestopia
« on: February 22, 2007, 07:50:15 pm »
So I'm having a bit of trouble getting this going.  NEStopia needs the command line prompt to include quotation marks around the ROM location.  Game Launcher doesn't do this.  I've sifted through the config files for both Game Launcher itself and NEStopia and I can't seem to find a way to get this to work.  If I run it normally, NEStopia loads, gives me an error message (command line parser error) and locks up.  If I run it in debug mode, there is no problem at all.  I'd like to keep using NEStopia as it's the only NES emulator that I've been able to use with any success.  Any suggestions on how I can make Game Launcher include quotations around the ROM location?

EDIT: I guess the other option is another frontend that does this.  I really like the simple look of Game Launcher, and none of the other frontends I've looked at are even similar.

Mala has a gamelauncher skin, which I currently use.  Mala is 100 times easier to install as well.  Do give it a try, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Is there any way to get around using MAME?  I really only want this to be for NES, SNES and possibly N64 games.

Yeah AFAIK it requires Mame for install... 

If you use the "GUI Tree" feature you can totally avoid seeing it.

Perfect.  Am I to assume that I need empty directories for all of the MAME related stuff in the setup?

Well just fill up whatever it needs and go about your business...

All you have to do when creating your GUI Tree is not set a menu item for mame...

OR.......

You can just set-up mame with 1 rom to keep mala happy then never switch lists again

PS I was the one who sent the gamelauncher sounds for the skin.  Make sure you set them up to make it more authentic

Got it working perfectly.  Thanks for the help guys.  And the sounds are the one thing I couldn't stand about Game Launcher.  Just weren't my cup of tea.  Glad I got this working.  Now I can concentrate on the rest of this little project.
