Hi all,
First question ever on that forum.
Quite new to LB and MAME, but I managed to set up and run quite easily a few emulators. My ARCADE roms are running through MAME64, without any problems (except the fact that my keyboard / stick configuration is getting lost quite often, but I manage to handle it manually through TAB quite easily).
My problem is with 2e or 2GS games.
I ran the tutorial a few times and I can't start an apple 2 game (either 2e or 2GS) from launchbox with mame.
Each time I try to start one, I get a very quick command line windows which appears and disappears very quickly, and I'm unable to start any game.
On the other side, I can start an Apple2 game from command line with the adviced options, and it seems to work perfectly.
I've got a list of questions :
1/ Is there a way to read the command line which is launched from LB so that I can try to figure out what's happening, like a verbose mode ?
2/ With command line, if I start mame directly from its own directory, everything works fine and I guess in that case the mame.ini file is correctly readen and used. If I try to start it from another directory, it will not work. I was wondering if the problem doesn't come from that, as I don't know how and from where LB starts MAME,,
3/ Which would be the informations you might need to help me with my problem ?
Here is a set of informations about my configurations
Windows 10
Mame 0.220
All my Mame roms are on a separate disks in f:\roms\mame
All my Apple2e disks images are in f:\ordinateurs\Apple2 ; they are all in .dsk format
All my Apple2GS disks images are in f:\ordinateurs\apple2GS ; some are .2mg, some are .zip
My mame.ini fine is located with my mame64.exe file. After several tests, here is what it countains for the PATH OPTIONS
homepath .
rompath roms\;F:\Roms\mame;f:\ordinateurs;f:\ordinateurs\apple2gs;f:\ordinateurs\Apple2
hashpath hash
samplepath samples
artpath artwork
ctrlrpath ctrlr
inipath .;ini;ini/presets
fontpath .
cheatpath cheat
crosshairpath crosshair
pluginspath plugins
languagepath language
swpath f:\ordinateurs\;f:\ordinateurs\apple2gs;f:\ordinateurs\Apple2
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if my questions are dumb...
