project64 command line problem i think it is my merged roms?
« on: January 31, 2008, 11:54:11 pm »
I'm having a very difficult time trying to get project64 to load from the command line. I have tried

project64 C:\roms\rom.zip

project64 "C:\roms/rom.zip"

"project64" " C:\roms/rom.zip"
...
...
...
etc no luck.

However, i had an older rom set where the roms were not merged and they were unzipped...

so,

project64 C:\roms/rom.z64  // the older roms worked unzipped


i'v never used merged roms is this a problem for most emulators? How does it know which rom to run out of all the choices. If anyone has any ideas what may be happening and how i can fix this problem i would be very greatfull. This is very frustrating!

I am assuming you are located in the directory where the "project64.exe" file is located when you are performing the command above..... correct?

What is the exact error you are getting when trying to start a game from the command line?  Please cut and paste everything and let us take a look.

Have you tried running the "project64.exe" application only, then try to start a game using their GUI menu interface to see if the game starts?   If the game "does not" start using the GUI then I would say your ROM is bad.   If the game "does" start using the GUI then I would think your command line information is incorrect.
