dbalcar Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hello I am trying to get Watarloo emulator to work with LB while emulating the Watara Supervision. It will open the emulator but the game will not start. You have to manually open the rom to start playing it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon57 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I don't think it supports specifying the rom to load via command line. You either load it from the menu, or you have to manually edit some options in the main Wataroo.ini file for each rom (the autoload and cdf settings). At least that is how it used to be. I haven't tried using Wataroo for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also trying to get LaunchBox to boot them with no luck. I then tried telling Windows to use Wataroo to open when I double click the .sv files, but that made things even worse. My controls acted weird until I went back to opening Wataroo first then going to File and open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Anyone ever figure this out? Emulator looks way better than Potator which is what I was using before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgarath Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 MAME supports the Supervision, have you tried that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsherbaut Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Once you put in the correct standard command line (tvlinkp -cart), it works like charm! Thx man! ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MesonW Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hi folks, I know this is a really old thread, but I've managed to get a way to run Wataroo with ROMs from the command line. Add these three lines to the Wataroo.ini file... [general] autoload=y cdf=autorun.cdf Then set your emulator to a batch file Wataroo.bat (in the same folder as the emulator executable) with the following content... echo Watara> autorun.cdf echo 64K>> autorun.cdf for %%f in (%1) do ( echo %%~nf>> autorun.cdf echo %%~f>> autorun.cdf ) start /WAIT Wataroo.exe If you have the files archived in .zip format, make sure you tick the emulator option to "Extract ROM archives before running" and "Attempt to hide console window...", otherwise if in .sv format, then just change that last line to remove the /WAIT from the batch file. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this. I just ended up just going with MAME to emulate it and it loads them up full screen, ready to go...should I be using Wataroo? Does it provide a superior emulation experience with this platform in your experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
