Title: [SOLVED] Unable to play any game
Post by: Nodoyuna on December 08, 2016, 06:13:40 PM

Hi

I've configured the frontend with the NesicaXlive theme correctly (I can see the videos and the rest of the graphics)
But I'm not able to run any game (I'm using it in conjuntcion with Rocket Launcher UI)
I have three systems right now: Newsica, Taito Type X and Sega Model 2
Any of them works
I don't know what to do, really
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance

Do the games work in the emulators (without Attract-Mode and RocketLauncher)? Do the games work in RocketLauncher? Have you looked at this http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=858.0

Yes, If I run them without Attract Mode or Rocket Launcher, they work flawlessly

Do the games work in RocketLauncher?

If I run a game MANUALLY from Rocket Launcher, it does work fine

One of the problems is that Rocket Launcher does not read the romlist in .TXT format, I've tried to make an XML but it does not work (it says "error parsing XML file")

I've installed the Rocket Launcher Integration Pack, and it's suppossed that it makes Rocket Launcher able to read Attract Mode romlsts, but it does not work for me

With the Integration Pack installed, Rocket Launcher shows the emulators list from Attract Mode, but I can't make it to read the romlist.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know where to look

I've installed Rocket Launcher and Attract Mode in the root of an external hard drive (it's F: drive) Does it needs to be on C: drive?

Thanks in advance

No, RocketLauncher doesn't need to be installed on the C: Drive. You're issue is likely with your emulator.cfg file in AttractMode. Please post the contents of your emulator.cfg file.

Don't worry about RocketLauncher not showing your romlist. It's not needed to use RocketLauncher to run games from AttractMode.

Hi
You're right, it was an issue with my config... It was the romlist, that had a different name on it than the name I defined for the system
Now, I have Sega Model 2 running, and I think all the "normal" emulators (I mean the ones which have a real emulator program) will work
So thanks for point me in the right direction about what to check :D

Now, I'm trying to run the NesicaXLive, Taito Type X and other PC Games, but I don't know how to do it, as they don't have an emulator program to run the games

Any idea about this kind of games?

Thanks in advance

If you are running them from RocketLauncher the setup will be the same. Most people create a folder (PC Games for example) and then place shortcuts (.lnk files) to the actual game .exe files in the folder and then point your emulator.cfg file to the PC Games folder.

OK, Thanks for the advice

I'll try first with Rocket Launcher, as I have some of them already working with Hyperspin

Thanks again

EDIT: Tried first with Rocket Launcher but it did not work, so I tried the shorcuts "version" and it works great

Thanks
