Title: I still can't get it to work.... :-[
Post by: Fandenivoldsk on February 14, 2003, 01:37:41 pm

As I posted a few days ago http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=4884 I'm having a few problems running other emulators than Mame with Lazarus.  Having used both beta and alpha version, and tried every possible setup, I'm stuck with no clue of how to get it to work. And I really really want to use Lazarus (as Mame is so cool to use with Lazarus!) I believe my settings are okay, and I understand how to use the wrappers with other frontends. So something must be wrong... maybe I'm missing some important .dll's or other system files?!? I'm using Windows XP btw... When I try to launch, say, a Atari 2600 game with the emulator z26 or through the wrapper, nothing happens in Lazarus... I press return, it's says 'loadnig' but the gamelist still there for me to scroll up and down and nothing more... Someone, please help!  :-[

That means it launched but it returned back to lazarus.  Again, check your settings, test the wrapper setup to make sure you can launch the emu from the wrapper using the command line, ect....

Hurrah!! I found out myself!  :D

Seems Lazarus doesn't like the '????' in the generated gamelists in the list folder. I just changes it to '9999', or whatever, everywhere, and I'm now able to launch the games!

Howard, is there a more simple way for me to get rid of the '????' bug?
