d8thstar Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 so frustrated, let's see if cold hard cash can solve my problem i have tried every phoenix launcher on these boards and can't for the life of me figure out why I can't get it to run correctly. i know my phoenix is set up correctly, it launches just fine from rocket launcher. if someone can get me up and running with phoenix on the jag and 3DO, i got $50 with your name on it! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidshoalin Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 why don't you use retroarch for those 2 systems? they work flawlessly on my computer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I'd agree with kidshaolin that Retroarch is the better option and a lot easier to set up with those 2 systems, but have you tried the tutorial here? Just another Phoenix rom launcher... - Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Development and Beta Testing) - LaunchBox Community Forums (launchbox-app.com) Just make sure that you set up and select the bios within Phoenix before using this plugin. Another important tip to know is that Phoenix doesn't read .cue or .chd files, and only uses .iso .bin and .img. It took me about 10 or 15 minutes to get it figured out with this plugin, but it's running nicely now.

Totally understand your frustration with this weird emulator. Okay try this: Before you do anything, backup and then delete the "_Phoenix_Rom_Launcher" xml file. Then, in ProjectPhoenix, add your Jaguar roms. When you run the game the first time, you'll see a window which will ask you to make a backup of the xml file. The next time you run the game, it should work, as I was just able to do with BattleSphere a few minutes ago. Keep in mind that anytime you add games (later) for either Jaguar or 3DO, you'll have to do this process again Edited February 7, 2021 by bundangdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d8thstar Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 thanks man, i just tried. deleted all my xml'x. launch phoenix, brand new no roms or bios in the list. I attached the jab bios and added then started two different roms, battle sphere and tempest, both launched just fine. i then ran phoenix rom launcher, it found two jag roms and asked for me to make a back up, which i did, then exited. now in LB, i select tempest, tell it to use phoenix rom launcher and i get this: line 2197 (file "s:\emulators\ph-win64\_phoenix_rom_launcher.exe"): error: variable used without being declared man i'm lost...

It sounds like you're missing a step, because I had that same error before too. You may want to try to start fresh, backup any important files and then delete the cfg/ini files. When you start again, 1st step - add all Atari Jaguar, 3DO games to ProjectPhoenix and also choose the bios file, and exit the emulator. Then, run _Phoenix_Rom_Launcher and click on the "backup" button. I don't think my xml file will make much difference, but you should check your _Phoenix_Rom_Launcher xml file and make sure it has your games listed there, and if they're not therem then you'll get that same error, just as I did before.
