That's what I was hoping when I first read it. The games will be run remotely on their servers. That's why the 5 Mbit connection recommended for it.

Make sure in your atomiswave install of demul you have all your paths set correctly to the bios and the games.

It just sucks that it will be remote play

You don't need to have 2 separate Demuls but since you have it done already did you set the command switch in launchbox for your Atomiswave emulator to: -run=awave What I have done is one Demul install for both Dreamcast and Atomiswave. I then have a bat file in my Demul folder which I use for my Atomiswave emulator @echo off SET STRING=%1 SET STRING=%STRING:.zip=% SET STRING=%STRING:H:\Emulation\Roms\Atomiswave\=% echo %STRING% start demul.exe -run=awave -rom=%STRING% I was messing around with this yesterday with newest Demul release and the biggest thing I had to remember was making sure all the paths were setup for bios and roms since I keep them all separate. This may not be the most efficient way to do it but I got it to work this way, lol.

So in the end here we have 2 options right now for importing Windows game shortcuts. Option 1: Import the shortcuts and pick any emulator from the dropdown list. When the import is all done do a bulk edit and choose no emulator. Option 2: Create an emulator that points to a shortcut file of the cmd.exe with the Run minimized selected in the shortcut properties. Import the games and select this as the emulator.

Yeah I tried hat first @DOS76 and it didn't work.

You asshole, why didn't you tell us this earlier I thought you had to pick an emulator.

Yes but the point is to have it so we can import a bunch of game shortcut files without the need to go through each game and uncheck that box. I have now solved it though and it's so simple I am pissed off. The shortcut I created to cmd.exe that I am using for the "emulator". Right click it and click properties then the Run drop down menu set it to minimized.

If I use any sort of bat file I just get a command prompt window open at the location of the bat file. My knowledge and experience with bat files is such that I can look at them and understand them but creating one from scratch is tough for me. All the stuff I would think to try just isn't working the way I am wanting right now, still working on it and reading up on it though

Ok I got this sorted for the most part, it's a little messy but it works. Maybe it can be cleaned up with a little tweaking. Make a new emulator called whatever you want, I called mine Winlaunch. Point that to either the c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe or make a shortcut to the cmd.exe somewhere convenient. I put a short cut in my /emulators/winlaunch/ folder just to keep things organized. Either method above works just fine, do whichever suits you. In the "Edit Emulator" window > "Associated Platforms" tab add the command switch /c Your games will now load. However it will load a command box in behind and it will close the command box on game exit. I tried setting this up with a bat file to hide the command box using the @echo off command but for whatever reason I could not get games to load using a bat file. I just kept getting a command prompt window. Maybe someone with deeper knowledge of bat files can clean this up but this is a working quick and dirty way of doing things. Short version: 1) Make a new emulator pointing to cmd.exe 2) Set that emulator to your Windows platform with the command switch /c

Glad you got it sorted out

Yeah for sure the 2D sprite based stuff looks amazing with shaders. I put up a couple of game demos using shaders, Darius Gaiden and Galactic Attack.

Ok, I thought you were having troubles with the configs as well. Well hopefully someone can help with the RL side of things. I started back about a year ago with RL and HS and I had just learned how to get it working together when I found Launchbox and haven't looked back.

if you got the configs made all you need to do then is go into Launchbox and for each game edit it and on the emulation tab of the edit window check enable custom command line parameters and add the line: -L "cores\core_name.dll" -C "path\to\gameconfig.cfg" So for example -L "cores\genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll" -C "config\sonic2.cfg" But the Rocket Launcher stuff someone like Brad or someone else who knows more about it can hopefully help you out.

I never tested Albert Odyssey until you just mentioned it and I get the same error and cd player screen. I've been waiting on the 3dpad support before making the full switch over to RA.

Panzer Dragoon 1 had some slight minor glitchy text at the beginning but that's all I know of. Panzer Dragoon 2 maybe had the same problem but I never noticed.

Hmm, no idea if this would work, never thought of it or tried it.

I got it working through MESS which I think will be the best option for 2 reasons, HLSL shaders and the ability to fast forward the load screens. The disk images do not need to be mounted. The toughest part I had in getting this working was getting a correct bios set. You will need a neocd.zip which contains a front-sp1.bin and top-sp1.bin and file size is 367,915 bytes. The other bios file is neocdz.zip which contains neocd.bin and 000-lo.lo and the file size is 217,516 bytes. The command line switch to use in Launchbox for the platform is neocdz -cdrm

I'd say look for any card with 1 gig of DDR5 video ram and that should let you run any shader you want. Avoid any card with slow DDR3 vram.

I have to admit I have never looked into NeoGeo CD emulation so I don't even know what emulators support it but I did find this thread over on /r/emulation https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/2l9vio/neogeo_cd/ By the looks of what people are saying there I would guess that either Final Burn Alpha or Mess would be the best choices and those probably don't even need you to mount CD images. But if you did need to mount a disk image I would imagine using this bat file I used for Saturn games and SSF would work with modification to point to the emulators exe instead of SSF. @echo off set game=%1% set daemon="C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" set emu="H:\Emulation\Emulators\SSF\SSF.exe" %daemon% -mount 0, %game% start /wait "" %emu% %daemon% -unmount 0 Basically what you would do is create the bat file in the same folder as the emulator exe, modify the set emu= line to point to the emulators exe file. Then setup an emulator in Launchbox and point it to the bat file. Ill see about getting a NeoGeo CD game and do some testing.

There is a setting in the preferences for full screen. You can also set a command line default for the emulator if you edit the emulator and go to the associated platforms tab.

You are welcome and sorry I missed your hello in chat was busy typing stuff up

Just drag the video file in and in the wizard when it asks for a platform just type it in manually, it may even auto populate the platform (not 100% sure on that though).

Allow me to make a suggestion. Well 2 suggestions actually but you can pick either one. Suggestion 1: For Atari 7800 use Retroarch and the Prosystem core. Suggestion 2: If you don't like suggestion 1 and want to use Mess / Mame for other systems and reasons then I recommend a separate Mess install. Yes I know they are the same technically now but I have had much easier luck with a separate Mess install. I think you already know the first steps but let me put this stuff here for people who maybe don't know. Put your bios files in the /roms folder which is inside the Mess folder. Edit the mess.ini and edit the rom path. I will use my Atari 5200 setup as an example. rompath "H:\Emulation\Roms\Atari 5200\;H:\Emulation\Roms\CD-i\;H:\Emulation\Emulators\Mess\roms\" Setup Mess as an emulator in Launchbox and assign it to the systems you wish to emulate it with and the appropriate command switches in there. No need for custom command line parameters and I found this much easier than trying to go through Mame, in fact I had no luck doing it through Mame. This has the added benefit of keeping things a little more neatly organized. Even though Mame and Mess have merged back together there are still stand alone Mess releases up to the same version number or close to it. Mine is version 174 with hlsl shaders.

Doom games in Mame ? That is weird unless you imported them to that platform or something. If you rescrape the game and it doesn't come up with the new Doom you may just have to input all the metadata and images yourself. I have had to do that for certain games.
