Title: PROJECT 64
Post by: KTURNER on November 19, 2016, 09:44:02 AM

The last problem I have is with project64. It works outside of attract mode just fine. My screen resolution is the same as all my other emulators. My command arg is "[romfilename]". All my roms show up but when I select one this happens.

try moving your mouse all the way to the "right bottom corner" and rightclick mouse and uncheck "peek at desktop"
that might do the trick....let me know...

Nevermind. I found a way to use project64 version 2.1. I just needed two tricks.

First, and unlike what is said on the emulator's help, you DO need to enclose the rompath with quotes. My "project64.cfg" file:

executable           D:\Project64\Project64.exe
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              D:/Project64/Roms
romext               .rom;.z64;.v64   
artwork    snap            D:\Project64\artwork\snap

Also, to make the emulator exit with ESC, I had to manually change the "Project64.sc3", removing this line:

4172,27,0,0,0,6,0,0

Then I could enter the emulator settings to assign the ESC key to application exit.

Thank you for looking that up. Unfortunately it didn't change anything. I did make a bat file and placed it in the emulator path. It would pull up the emulator and show the rom list just like if you were to open it though the shortcut.  This is what I wrote in my bat file.     "c:\games\n64\emulator\project64.exe"

Well I got project 64 working now. It turns out it was the pc I was using just like my layout problems. The only issue I have now is that is shows the desktop for a few seconds before the emulator loads. I read somewhere how to fix this but I can not find it. I tried the peek desktop bug I don't see were xp has that
