MAMEWAH v1.62b13a and Project 64 v1.7.0.55

[Andypc]

 

Hi

I am having real problems getting Project 64 v1.7.0.55 to work with Mamewah. I am using Mamewah V1.62b13a. I have tried the CPViewers suggested commadline: -

C:\N64\project64.exe [rompath]\[name].[romext]{nodosbox}{safelaunch}

I have also tried every variation that I can think of, with no luck! Project64 starts and I get the error message "Attempt to open file failed." It all works fine if I open the roms from within Project64, but not with Mamewah.

I found a couple of Wrappers for Project64 v1.6, but they don't work with V1.7 and I can't find one specifically for V1.7.

Unfortunately this is for my Arcade Cabinet so I need to be able to use a Frontend. Preferably Mamewah as I have it correctly set-up for 9 other emulators and don't want to change.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Andy

That sucks!
Did you try this one? http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=73330.0

I don't use Mamewah, but in Mala for version 1.7.0.49 of Project 64 I had to use quotation marks around the rom and rom path.  I know earlier versions would not work with quotation marks.  If I do not use quotation marks, I get an error.  So without knowing Mamewah, for your version I would suggest:

Code: [Select]

C:\N64\project64.exe "[rompath]\[name].[romext]"{nodosbox}{safelaunch}

Just tried that and got a Plugin not initialised error message!

I wonder if now that you have the correct syntax, you're seeing a different issue with your plugins.

Are you able to just start up Project 64 manually and run games successfully from the project 64 menu? If you cannot, sounds like you need to try a different plugin.  You're not using Vista are you?

 If you can run them successfully from the menu, I would try to start Project64 from a command line outside of Mamewah until you can figure out the correct syntax.  For example at a C prompt in your c:\n64 directory try to start project 64 with an actual rom name, like:

Code: [Select]

project64.exe "c:\N64\ROMS\Banjo-Tooie.zip"
And again without the quotes. Obviously changing my example to your rom path and rom name.

I can run games successfully from the menu within Project64. I just tried to start Project64 from a command line outside of Mamewah using the above and got the same error message "Attempt to open file failed."  I have tried everything above. Is there a wrapper for v1.7?

Thanks

I don't use a wrapper with Mala.  I am able to run the following from the command prompt with no problem (obviously my path is different than yours):

Code: [Select]

project64.exe "e:\emulators\pj64\roms\banjo-tooie.zip"
The only way I get the error that you have is if I specify the wrong path or rom name.  Is Banjo-Tooie.zip in this folder?:

Code: [Select]

C:\N64\ROMS

Check out my INI files posted here:

I realize it is a different vesrion of Project64 but doubt the settings have changed.

Good Luck,

Make sure you read your "mamewah.log" file, and see what it says.  Just right click the file and "Open with" notepad or wordpad in Windows.  You can associate the .log file extn with notepad to allow opening it by just double clicking.

Keep in mind that later versions of Project64 need quotes around the rom and path.   Some earlier versions will error with the quotes.  Also until he can determine why he cannot run from a command line, running from Mamewah seems pointless.
