Johnny T Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi all, I'm struggling to get the Amstrad GX4000 working. My ROMs are .cpr files. I've tried WinApe and Arnolds etc but to no avail. I've been trying MESS and MAME tonight but still no luck. I'm just trying to run the game from the emulator in the first instance before putting it into Launchbox. My game is called "Barbarian 2 (Europe).cpr" and so I've tried to run MAME with... mame64.exe gx4000 -cart "Barbarian 2 (Europe).cpr" And the screen goes black with the MAME "Initialising" message and then I just go back to the Command Prompt with... Fatal error: Device Generic Cartridge Slot load (-cartridge Barbarian 2 (Europe).cpr) failed: File not found If I try... mame64.exe gx4000 -cart Barbarian 2 (Europe).cpr Then I simply get this message.... "2" approximately matches the following supported software items (best match first): * Software list "gx4000" (Amstrad CPC Plus & GX4000 cartridges) matches: barb2 Barbarian II coptr271 Copter 271 crzycrs2 Crazy Cars II firefor2 Fire & Forget II robocop2 Robocop 2 tennisc2 Tennis Cup II batman Batman brubber Burnin' Rubber dicktr Dick Tracy klax Klax mystical Mystical navyseal Navy Seals noexit No Exit othunder Operation Thunderbolt pang Pang panzakb Panza Kick Boxing Error: unknown option: -<UNADORNED2> If I then try...... mame64.exe gx4000 -cart barb2 I get the black "Initialising" screen again followed by this message in Command Prompt.... barb2.bin NOT FOUND (tried in gx4000 gx4000\barb2 barb2) Fatal error: Required files are missing, the machine cannot be run. Has anyone any ideas what I'm doing wrong? A lot of Googling has found people who have got it to work through RocketLauncher but I'd rather not go down that route if I don't have to. Anyone who has this system working just with Launchbox alone?? And, if so, are you using MAME ?? And, if so...... how? Any info or help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

rexryan Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 all mine are bin files and command line should be GX4000 -cart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
