I want to test ssf emulator but it needs to mount .cue files before lauch a game.
Is there any option to set this on a windows system?
Thanks.
-
Just reading daemon tools faqs found the command line to mount a .cue:
DTAgent.exe -mount dt, 0, "[romfilename]"
So , I just need a little help to make this work.
How can I launch this command first and then launch ssf?
When ssf launches it will look for the daemon tools drive and start emulation automatically.

@qqplayer
set & in argument-line
I'm using WinCDEmu (http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/) for mounting images. It supports ISO, CUE, NRG, MDS/MDF, CCD, IMG.
Daemon Tools got always this nag license check.
This is a working config:
executable cmd
args /c C:\Progs\WinCDEmu\batchmnt.exe /unmountall & C:\Progs\WinCDEmu\batchmnt.exe [romfilename] & start C:\path_to_emulator\exe_of_emulator.exe -Parameter_of_emulator drive_letter_of_mounted_image
rompath C:\attract\EMU\System1\ROMs
romext .iso;.cue;.nrg;.mdf;.ccd;.img

Thanks for your help.
Is working but not perfectly.
I have a new problem , only works with AM and ssf on windowed mode.
If I launch ssf at fullscreen crashes , only works correctly on first run.
And sometimes keeps behind AM.
Any ideas?
-
Do not know.
maybe ssf (is this ssf (http://segaretro.org/SSF)?!) don't get mounted image fast enough?!
So enter
& ping 127.0.0.1 &
too
or
leave the 'start' argument and test it
or
put all your parameters in a single batch-file and test it:
@echo off
application_and_parameter_to_mount_your_cue_file
parameter_to_start_ssf_in_fullscreen_with_mounted_cue_file
What happens?
-
Almost done , only adding
/wait ""
to your code
start /wait "" C:\path_to_emulator\exe_of_emulator.exe
So , last thing I need , I´m using <DIR> as "romext" and -mount "[romfilename]\[name].cue" , is there any option-code to set -mount "[romfilename]\[name].ccd" when .cue is not found?
This is because some of my roms are clone cd sets.
Thanks for all your help.

don't know... to complicated
copy all your image files (bin, img) to a root-folder (and life without game music; cue and ccd manages the cd tracks)
or
rename and edit image-names (bin, img) and meta-files (cue, ccd) to correct game names. copy them to a root-folder
or
create batch files each game (with correct parameters to starting game) > configure AM with .bat-files
or
convert your images to .iso (eg. with ultraiso)
-
To quote the site below:
It is designed to run game CDs directly, so images must be mounted with a virtual drive program (e.g. Daemon Tools) in order to be played.
So try to use Daemon Tools to mount the image. I think Closemul http://lustark.com/closemul (http://lustark.com/closemul) helps with loading images that way. ex. load it into deamon tools automatically when you start the game. But I have never tried it for that.

@hermine.potter thanks , can you help me with this "new" problem , all was working perfectly on C: but the thing is I have my AM on "Y:\Attrack Mode"
I`ve created a symlink to the Daemon tools instalation, so my code look like this:
args /c "Y:\Attrack Mode\utilities\DAEMONToolsUltra\DTAgent.exe" -unmount_all & "Y:\Attrack Mode\utilities\DAEMONToolsUltra\DTAgent.exe" -mount "[romfilename]\[name].cue" & start /wait "" "Y:\Attrack Mode\systems\SSF\SSF_TestVer 29-12-2016\SSF_TestVer\SSF.exe"
I think the problem is dtools command , because when I set back to c: works perfectly even with ssf on y:
@akafox thanks too , yes , I´m using dtools , but the problem is that like I set my romext as <DIR> I have to "tell" daemon tools the rom extension manually with:
"[romfilename]\[name].cue"
So , some dumps are on .ccd and with this dtools is not working.
I want to now if is posible set and "condicional" setting for this.
-
Ah I see. Well all I can suggest to you is to convert everything to cue / bin maybe?
https://www.ultraiso.com/ (https://www.ultraiso.com/) ..it may not work..I think the cap is set at 800 GB..but ss games are cd based so you should be ok.
Sorry I don't have much experience with ssf (lucky windows users *sigh*) does it work ok..(I am really curious..I know sega sat has been a pain to emulate)

i think : it's a dos thing.
if you start a command window, you're already on c:\
so dos found correct path on C:\.
i think you need to extend your parameter with cd (cd = change directory).
please test this:
args /c cd "Y:\Attrack Mode\utilities\DAEMONToolsUltra\" & start DTAgent.exe [...] and so on
please mount an image, start AM & test this command line first and expand your arguments step by step (to see at which point it doesn't work):
args /c cd "Y:\Attrack Mode\utilities\DAEMONToolsUltra\" & start DTAgent.exe -unmount_all

As far as I know is the best sega saturn emulator ever made.
Only thing I hate is that hasn´t a virtual drive plugin like epsxe , retroarch ... and you have to mount images with a third party program before launch the emulator.

Thank you so much hermine.potter , that solved all my problems:
args /c cd "Y:\Attrack Mode\utilities\DAEMONToolsUltra\" & start DTAgent.exe [...] and so on
Now works perfect on drive Y:

Hi, hermine.potter, I´m trying to set up this emulator reading this post...but I´m lost at the end of your command, I tried this:
Ejecutable cmd
Args /c C:\Program Files (x86)\WinCDEmu\batchmnt.exe [romfilename] & start "F:\MultiMega\(1993) FM Towns Marty\Emus\Unz 0.5 30\Unz.exe batchmnt <image file> [<G:>] [/wait]
Roms path F:\MultiMega\(1993) FM Towns Marty\Roms
Rom ext .bin
Probably Args final part is wrong but I don´t know how is this final part...help please!! Thanks! :'( :P
