Configuring Mamewah with Mess-Ti99_4A
TeutonicDarkness:
Hello,
I was wondering If anyone has manged to have
any luck launching Mess as a Ti99_4A Emulator
through Mamewah?
I have manged to trick it into loading just
bare Ti99_4a using 2 differnt methods
1.) by pointing to bios instead of Roms.
But this method is useless no games will load.
2.) After the first method I got to thinking of
alternative methods to make this a reality...
Instead of pointing Mamewah to the exe
I point it to a .bat file that loads
the command prompt then basically types
Mess ti99_4a
This way I can get The ti99_4a up and running without
tying up the rom path from pointing to the bios
as I did earlier.
However no matter what I try Mess appear uncapable
of Accepting "Rom Paths" or "Rom Extensions".
so this appears useless too...
..................................
Ok I did notice when I used the GUI version and select
the Roms to load if creates a entry of the roms
in this file:
C:\mess\ini\ti99_4a.ini
ti99_4a.ini
contains entry for the Roms to be loaded.
Is It possible maybe to create .Bat files for Each Rom
with the Rom Names
( actually select them from mamewah instead or real roms)
that could write a entry in the ti99_4a.ini file?
I admittadly dont know much about .bat files or what they
are capable of . ::)
..................................................
This is all I can think of any ideas or input is welcome!

Well a little more progress in a way....
I did finnally discover how to launch The Ti99_4A
through the commandline and use carts that way.
I would have never figured that out on my own
( Its not documented well in Mess )
I found on another forum that I must use -cart1
or for multi carts -cart1 (Cart address here) -cart2 (cart address here)
...........
However still no luck at all getting any cart to load at through
Mamewah!
I did however manage to make a .bat file that if click
will automaticall co to command prompt enter the info
and Lanch Mess>Ti99_4A !
With whatever cart I desire :)
..............
I'm still wondering If I can use this somehow to Force
Mamewah into Launching the Games I want?
Stilll no ideas anyone?
???

Did you try this http://www.99er.net/download2/index.php?act=view&id=134 it does that automatically for you.
You would then use something like Howard's key press kit http://dragonking.arcadecontrols.com/simplephp/ccount/click.php?id=25 to select and launch games.

Yes I know of the 99Menu just would not look right
going through Mamewah.
If I was just trying to use an emulator sure!
But I am close to figuring it out....
as I said I can configure .Bats for every Rom
and the .Bats work perfectly.. :)
I just need to pick the right program to select under
Emulator executable...
One that will open the .Bat file its being sent!
I tried just using explorer.exe but having explorer runing
when using Mamewah just dosn't look right.... ???
But thanks I'll keep tinkering around with it.

Just put down.
### Execution Settings ###
emulator_executable PC
And using Howard's key press simulator kit you would only see it for a brief second.
