Flintz Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 By the way @lordmonkus I tried running Retroarch FBA with the roms v0.182 and it didn't even open. Why me?? Hahah! Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 @Flintz I bet it is because you are missing the roms corresponding .chd files for each game which should be in a folder inside the emulator called CHD the chd's needed are 3ga000.chd, 33s000.chd, cap-33s-2.chd, cap-jjk-160.chd, jjk000.chd, jjm000.chd, sf3000.chd, wzd000.chd. 1 Quote

I double click and it tells me that the roms are missing. Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) @Flintz have you set the paths as i stated earlier put the roms and the bats inside the emulator folder in a folder called roms (lower case) and make sure you change the paths properly in the bat useing notepad pointing to the emulator see the underlined bits cd /d "C:\Users\PC\Documents\LaunchBox\Emulators\cps3emulator" start "Emulator" "C:\Users\PC\Documents\LaunchBox\Emulators\cps3emulator\emulator.exe" %~n0 Edited January 30, 2017 by Maddoc1007 1 Quote

I had to configure each bat file and then rename it to the zip file name so they matched. Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 @Flintz the roms have to be inside the emulators folder it even states that in the ini file or they wont work the emulator will not be able to find them 1 Quote

They are in the "roms" folder within the emulator folder. Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 @Flintz This is what the ini file should look like make sure to just change the screen resolution to the same as yours nothing else in the ini needs to be changed ;Configuration file for the Capcom System 3 emulator ;All text to the right of ; is ignored (use as comments) ;Add your rom directories here (max 10) ;ROMS subdirectory in the same folder than the exe is always scanned when searching for roms ;(remove the ; form Dir1) [RomDirs] ;Dir1=c:\cps3\roms [Renderer] ForceSync=0 ;Force directx to lock to vsync refresh SoftwareVertexProcessing=1 ForceManaged=0 ;Forces the DX driver to use Managed textures instead of Dynamic. Use it if the emulator ;crashes after loading or doesn't show anything FilterTilemaps=1 ;Perform bilinear filtering when stretching in fullscreen FullScreenWidth=1280 FullScreenHeight=1024 ;These options are configured from menus so don't touch FullMode=3 Sound=1 Frameskip=-1 AutoFull=1 Filter=0 [CPS3] Region=3 1 Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) @Flintz You should not have renamed the bat files at all they need to be named as i had them Edited January 30, 2017 by Maddoc1007 1 Quote

Maddoc1007 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) @Flintz when you open the emulator itself by clicking on its exe, then click on Emulator and then load rom you'll see that what the roms should be named which is exactly the same as what i had the bats named see screenshot and the bats should be inside a folder called after the GAME NAME as i stated earlier and showed in a screenshot Edited January 30, 2017 by Maddoc1007 1 Quote

Flintz Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 This is what I get for an error message: Quote
Flintz Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 And this is how I set up my files: Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 and just to make sure it works i put my emulator and bats in a different directory and just changed the address of where the emulator was like i showed you in the bat and clicked on the new bat and it worked perfectly 1 Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 are those rar files for the roms they should .zip 1 Quote
