SentaiBrad said Then it sounds like you are missing the BIOS or have the wrong ones.
Do you think you can fallow me on twitter so i can send you the picture of the file?
Everyone uses the forums just fine. The same process there would be the same here. Take the screenshot, upload it to Imgur or somewhere and copy the link or click the "img" button above where you type a post here on the forums and put the link in there.

Yea you should have probably led with the error code. A quick search and one of the top results: "You need to create a zip file named dc.zip and but all the Demul BIOS files in that (including mpr-21931.ic501) and put that in Demul's roms folder." Maybe Derek can advise further, but like I said make sure you have the right BIOS files and make sure they're selected properly. More or less following the video, and if your BIOS don't work you'll need to find a different set.

This might help you i have had this happen to demule after already working great but moving it or saveing it to another disk...the only fix that worked for me was to ...just go get a fresh DL from their site , then drop the bios files in to a new folder and name it "roms" and see if that works for ya...peace

here is what you need to do to get it to work copy code, put it in batch file name it "run.bat" and put in demul folder. now edit your rom path in the batch file. now point you game in LB to "run.bat" to start it
::------------------------------------------------ @echo off :: run from this local dir cd %~dp0 SET STRING=%1 SET STRING=%STRING:.zip=% :: setting the path to your roms SET STRING=%STRING:K:\Arcade\emulators\dreamcast\demule om\=% echo %STRING% :: starting the game demul.exe -run=dc -image=rom/%STRING% ::-------------------------------------------------
Note: if your starting a .cdi .gdr you must set "image" not "rom" also if you just use "demul.exe -help" it will show you all your cmd Options...enjoy lovin me some "sturmwind" right now
