polygonslayer Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hey experts :) I've been experimenting with getting Amiga games into Launchbox. I got them all set up and working perfectly in RocketLauncher (WHD collection), but when I add them to Launchbox I get the following error in AmigaDOS: "Unknown Command runme.exe" I got WinUAE set up exactly like all my other emulators; -p LaunchBox -f "C:\Users\*****\LaunchBox\LaunchBox.exe" -s "Commodore Amiga" -r but for some reason it doesn't seem to work with either WinUAE or WHD games? Since it's showing an exe file in AmigaDOS I presume something is going wrong with sending the command from Launchbox? maybe regarding the zip file? Just not sure and I've searched everywhere for a solution :/ I suppose I could set it up to launch just from Launchbox, but I would really like for it to work with RocketLauncher as well. Any help would be great, cheers! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 That command looks wrong to me. Shouldn't it start with the associated platform? For instance: Super Nintendo -p LaunchBox -f "H:\LaunchBox\LaunchBox.exe" -s "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" -r I also notice that Commodore Amiga seems to be missing from the Platforms list in LaunchBox. Maybe it hasn't gotten there yet, and this is messing up the command. Does AmigaDOS emulate any other commodore system? If so, maybe try setting that up if its already listed as a platform in Launchbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 That shouldn't matter your can make any platform you want in LaunchBox just because something isn't in the list doesn't mean you can't put it there yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polygonslayer Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 The command is the same setup as with all the other emulators (which work). The platform at the start is already present in the list so shouldn't be that :/ There was Amiga already present on the list, I just renamed it in LB to Commodore Amiga. Really weird that it's working on every other system I got set up, but for some reason WinUAE doesn't like it set up like this in LB even though it works perfectly launching from Rocketlauncher :/ Could be more of a Rocketlauncher thing, wonder if it happens if I had another frontend send the command :/ EDIT: Ok, I've discovered something. By giving a test game a custom command-line parameter including the file name it works... so like this: -p LaunchBox -f "C:\Users\Erlend\LaunchBox\LaunchBox.exe" -s "Commodore Amiga" -r "Battleships_v1.0" but it would be a bit of a pain to have to do this to every game... Could it be that the -r command to send the file name for some reason has problems with the way the rom/zip files are named in the WHD set? :/ Although that sounds a bit weird as well.

Robbyd78 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi @polygonslayerdid you manage tom solve this as I have exactly the same issue. Some games work but others do not load with the "Unknown Command runme.exe" error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polygonslayer Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 To be honest I don't remember haha. I would have to check. I remember fiddling with it and I have definitely played Amiga games through LB, but yeah, don't remember if I got this fixed or if I just left it. I'll check later if you want?

Robbyd78 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Yeah if you don’t mind that’ll be cool. I can get individual games to launch using the command line with the rom name in but as you say this will be very painful for all games?. It weird because some games launch but others don’t?

fromlostdays Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Wait... are you using WinUAE as your emulator in launchbox... If you are, and you're using Rocketlauncher, you should be using Rocketlauncher as your emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbyd78 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I am using winuae and I am using rocketlauncher as my emulator in LB. Only some games launch, some games require the rom name in the command line to launch which will be very painful to do for all games, I don’t have a spare week. All games launch fine directly in rocketlauncher, weird. As @polygonslayer suggested maybe LB doesn’t like some of the rom names. Some games launch with the standard command line and some require “romname” after -r as per the above post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polygonslayer Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Ok, so I've tested a handful of games in my LB and they all seem to work. I really don't remember what I did haha My LB Amiga default commandline is: -f "C:\Users\*****\LaunchBox\LaunchBox.exe" -p RocketLauncherUI -s "Commodore Amiga" -r Do you have any specific games that don't work that I can try?
