ResidentEvul13 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 for over a week i have tested, installed, redid, started over, process of elimination etc and I just don't get it! when i first started using demul through lb it worked great! now I can't get it to boot any game but gta2! I mean wtf?! ive deleted all old copies I had installed new copies... configured correctly yet still it only plays gta2 no matter what game i pick! nulldc is just as annoying... my favorite system of all time and like sega saturn emu I can't get it working...

SentaiBrad Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Are your demul settings set up properly? Do you have the proper default command line set up? In this image the only line that matters in this case is the Dreamcast line. Make sure the Associated Platform Name matches your platform name as well. Here are my Demul settings as well: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are my Demul settings as well: Before I only had dreamcast added to commands with no lines... now set up same as yours and it doesn't open at all just flashes a small black box really fast then back to launchbox! I am thinking our folders are not set the same way or i am missing something geez Edited February 17, 2017 by ResidentEvul13 more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Maybe they are corrupted then I don't know your settings look right and it is loading the one game if you are getting that screen it is launching the emu its telling you it doesn't recognize the disc. Try changing your disc plugin to gdrimage Is GTA2 a cdi file or a different type and that is why it works? I don't use the same settings as Brad I use the other disc plug in in Demul and in LB under manage emulator I use the No space checkbox in Demul for DC and then for the Arcade stuff I name the emulator Demul [Arcade] in LB and point it to the same exe as DC but then check No Space use file name only and Attempt to hide console window. Its possible the chd plugin doesn't support cdi extension. I'm not sure but try those changes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure but try those changes they are all bad because i didn't keep them in original extracted folder... gta2 slipped through.. ive tested new downloads and all load just perfect because i load them from their original folders with all files inside... now I have new issue, it will load .cdi files but it won't even show the iso files in folder when i try to load them... do i have to extract each iso into a folder just to load its .cdi file? seems lame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I don't think Demul supports iso files 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResidentEvul13 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Great Caesar Scott! @DOS76 tested settings it supports ISO and .cdi! have to change settings for both formats.. hell yeah! now if I can just figure out why games won't boot through launchbox... emu opens but games dont load at all Edited February 17, 2017 by ResidentEvul13 more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResidentEvul13 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 new issue i got some games that have.cue and .bin files no .cdi or.gdi how can i get these to work with emulator? @DOS76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalEgo Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Demul will not load up bin, cue. It has to be either GDI or CDI. I will not link you to a valid set of roms but if you google search pleasuredrome or isozone you can get good sets from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 really, ok say you have "Sega Rally 2.iso" then you could find "Sega Rally 2.gui" instead, hope that makes more sense now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
