Title: wierd game launcher bug anyone notice?
Post by: tyweed on April 10, 2003, 06:37:24 pm

Hello i have game launcher runningf my problem is for example i load project64.exe rom.zip from command line no problem. so i say cool it wrks set it up in game launcher say yes to use rom file list yes to use ext and no to use rom path so everything is correct set it to debug mode everything looks good bam nothing. Here is the wierd part i extract the file out of the zip and call it np.  This is also true for zsnesw and gens on game launcher.....

any ideas why?

Maybe you can clarify what is going on, when it is working, when it is not working and what "everything looks good bam nothing" means  :)

Sure romid i can clarify as much as possible. First game launcher will load mame .zip files no problem. But as for gens,zsnesw,or fceultra i have to extract the rom out of the zip and call it whether it's a .nes for fceu or gens is .smd etc instead of being able to just call game.zip?

and as for "everything looks good bam nothing" that was just a horrible sentence fragment on my part. Basicly i was trying to say i have it in debug mode the settings in cfg appear to be ok but when i load games with .zip ext it won't load. Do you have game launcher romid? can you use .zip ext for your emulators if so?

I have not noticed anything like that.

I run all of my O2EM roms and Retrocade roms and some Mame roms using .BAT files.  I sepicifed bat as the rom extension in the .cfg file for each config.  It sees the .bat files with know problem.

check your config files.

Also check your rom files.  They should not have the extensions on them.

when you mean rom files you mean the .rom file in the cfg section of glaunch where it stores the .rom.map and .cfg files.

Check my ZSNES and Gens Game Launcher configs in this thread:

See if that helps.

Yes, the .rom file should not have the extensions on the rom names.

I do not use Project64, i'm not sure that I have even tried it.  I have tried a few othe 64 emulators, but not with Game Launcher.
