Atomiswave help?

Recommended Posts

I am having problem setting up atomiswave also dreamcast using Demul emulator. I got naami running fine but when I try to play a atomiswave game I get the Demul menu screen to select a game. I can manually sect the game by going into file, run Atomiswave. I have the correct path set up foe the rom and I believe I have the correct command-Line to run Atomiswave on my Launchbox Associates Platfoms. Can somebody help me ?

I was able to figure out a way to force the game to launch with the astomiswave core by right clicking the game, edit, Emulation on the left menu, check (use custom command-line parameters) for the command line I entered -run=awave -rom= 
 

for the sega dreamcast I just duplicate demul directory and renamed it Demul-Dreamcast and I created a new Emulator with the dreamcast info it is working fine for now

Do you have all your Demul games imported as Sega Naomi?

The platform name has to match the associated platform name in the emulator details or it will not work.

I think @Headrush69 is trying to have you confirm does the Associated Platform names match exactly how you have the platform named in LB.

I’m a lil confuse when you says “confirm does the Associated Platform names match exactly how I have the platform name in LB”  I just have the Associated platform and then the default command-line. I believe the name on Associate Platform is fine ( Sammy Atomiswave)

What people have been asking you to confirm is whether your Associated Platform name actually matches the name you gave the platform in Launchbox, like this.

 

2021_02_02_12_28_10_LaunchBox.thumb.jpg.a912131c9cce92d81e8868f5de0229e4.jpgPlatform is called Nintendo 64, so the associated platform has to be called Nintendo 64 as well. This sounds like your issue from the start if you were scraping Atomiswave as Naomi, then you of course had a mismatch in the names, the associated platform was for Atomiswave, but you named the platform in Launchbox, Naomi. This is the question people have been asking you to answer for two days, and would of been a quick and easy fix had you answered that question the first time it was asked.

Now I understand but I did not even created a platform name for Sammy Atomiswave, I just selected from the dropdown menu and after imported the games the platform automatically show up on the platform left side menu on launchbox. I understand for you and others who has being using launchbox for a while it become easy to understand. But for me and other new to lunchbox user it can be confuse. Every tutorial I seen about Demul and launchbox does not tell you to select atomiswave neither Hikaru when importing games for each platform. They just tell you to associate demul to these platform. Never to imported as separate platform. You may think but that’s obviously and not when you search for naomi roms and it actually take you to a hikaru rom and you download it. You best bet is to import that rom as a sega naomi not as a sega hikaru or Sammy Atomiswave. And this is where non of those tutorial videos explain it. This is a learning process and sometimes you have to learn it by making mistake. I appreciate the community help here at this forum. The same think for scraping most of the naomi games doesn’t scrape correctly I found out a way to at least give me most of the media data I can find and foe the correct platform the media that are missing I have to create them myself. Again thank you all for your help and @neil9000 I apreciate your help and mostly showing me pictures that is very kind thanks ??

Having a similar issue so I thought I'd post in this one. My associated platform seems to be correct in LB but I have a feeling its a super minor issue. Naomi loads just fine but AW just goes to the Demul start up. I can load the games from there with no issue. Thanks for the help!

How do you import Sammy Atomiswave into LaunchBox because I have a bunch of files in the folder and they just have the numbers and no game titles imported, but everything else loaded fine, platform videos and everything in BigBox just won't show game titles but instead shows numbers, don't know how I got video snaps of the games though lol

Well that's your big issue right there. Poorly named rom files. Not sure where you got them from but if they are just numbers and not actual rom names LB will have trouble scraping for media.

Your best bet for Atomiswave is using roms from an official Mame rom set. You will have no issues with LB finding metadata and media.

Can you post a pic of the rom files you are using?
