Supermodel 3 Emulator

[Elmo80]

Hi,

Hoping someone maybe able to assist. 

I have updated my supermodel.exe to the latest version and i seem to get the following error when launching through launchbox.

Any ideas, i've tried changing the launch command line but dont really know what i'm doing.

Seems like its not parsing right anymore.

Try to launch the emulator via cmdline without LaunchBox first. Always a good diagnostic step to troubleshooting.

Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't help me unofrtunatley

The command lines work perfect in cmdline with the latest supermodel version:

To keep it simple i removed the -options from the command line and I was able to run supermodel.exe from my C:\ and point to a rom on my D:\ and it opened a rom fine in cmd.

I replcated the exact same shortened commad line in Launchbox as a custom launch paramter and i keep getting the same error as my original post. 

Its got me naffed.... it works fine with older versions of Supermodel up to Version 0.3a-git-112e7bb, It seems like something is faling over in Launchbox with the file path.

It did help. It eliminated the cmdline options as suspect and confirmed the latest Supermodel build works as it should on its own. 😄

When you don't know what's right, you eliminate everything that's wrong. That's the key to deductive logic a.k.a. troubleshooting.

Now you can confidently focus on LaunchBox. The latest Supermodel-487d642 works flawlessly on my LaunchBox-13.22 build by the way.

Get the global emulator settings to work first before trying any custom launch params. The application path in your first screenshot seems off to me at least. Relative paths on mine have ..\

i can't see what i can do differently in regard to the emulator settings.

As i mentioned, i have taken out the extra command lines from the default  command line parameters in the emulator settings to keep it simple. 

File path to the emulator is absolutely correct. It's Launchbox that puts the ".....path to rom file"

Everything on the rom side is correct too in regads to the file path.

It's falling over when Launchbox points to the rom file but the target file is correct. I dont understand.

No, I meant  this:

Not sure if LB knows it's a relative path without the ..\ before the name of the first directory. Yours doesn't have it in both locations. This is my actual global setup and it works perfectly. Nothing else.

Can you try just manually browsing to the Supermodel.exe and ROM locations again? Let LB set the paths, don't type them in or anything.

Added ROM path screenshot.

i browsed to the file again and it does not introduce ..\ in front of the file path.

i manually entered ..\ and that creates a new error the the rom cant be found.

i dont know why yours would place ..\ on your application or file path. 

i'm also using the latest launchbox.
