Having trouble emulating Ikaruga in Makaron with Vertical screen

I found this thread on this site: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=106477.0

Here is the code for convenience (with the NAOMI path edited):

Code: [Select]

Send, {CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}{Left}{ALTUP}{CTRLUP}

Gui -Caption +ToolWindow                                       
Gui, Color, 0                                                                               
Gui, Show, x0 y0 h%A_ScreenHeight% w%A_ScreenWidth%, HSHIDE   

Gui, 2: +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindow                                       
Gui, 2: Color, 0                                                                                 
Gui, 2: Show, x0 y0 h%A_ScreenHeight% w%A_ScreenWidth%, HSHIDE   

MouseMove, 1439, 100

Run, C:\NAOMI\NAOMI.exe ikaruga.dat

sleep, 1200
WinSet, Style, ^0xC00000, NAOMI - PVR

WinActivate, NAOMI - PVR

Gui, 2:Destroy

MButton::
Process, Close, NAOMI.exe
Gui, Destroy
Send, {CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}{Up}{ALTUP}{CTRLUP}
ExitAPP
return
Running the code gives me this error:



How do I get rid of this error?

If there are any further tweaks required for the autohotkey script, could you help me with that? I've already downloaded autohotkey and irotate. I've installed the Unicode version of autohotkey.

I would just play it horizontally, but it seems to make the game 12 times harder. And it's already pretty much way too hard for me as it is. =\

To answer your original question, Makaron 12/5 is here:

Does Makaron work fine when not using the script?

How about if you rotate the screen with irotate yourself, then launch the game?



Make sure you have both of these DirectX and C++ runtimes installed
Even if you have a brand new version of directX, it won't have these older runtimes installed.
(I know it's nulldc.  makaron uses the same ones)

EDIT: Kinda looks like it's not finding the BIOS.  I know when launching Makaron via command line, the roms have to be in the same folder as NAOMI.exe
         I don't remember about the bios.  Try putting a copy of it there.

Running it by itself with irotate works.

Thank you. ^_^

Try it with the rom and bios in the same folder as NAOMI.exe

You can add another sleep to the autohotkey script before the line that launches Makaron.
That will make sure the screen has had enough time to rotate before launching it.
(I don't think this is the issue, but it's something else to try)

sleep, 500
Run, C:\NAOMI\NAOMI.exe ikaruga.dat

You an also comment out all the Gui lines by putting a ";" in front of them.
That way the screen won't be blacked out and you can see what's going on until you get it working.
