cannot get it to run any emulator

[abls1]

Not working.. I think my issue is that the enter input does not work at game select.  I can run Emucon with no issues it uses different parameters for launching a game

emucon

Useful parameters for fullscreen on start and exit

Tried steam games nothing

Can this frontend run any pc game or application?

Thanks for your help be back here is about 8hrs

Hmmm...this is one of the times that you need to be there to see what is going on

Yes AM will work on any computer or operating system and will start any program (I've done it)

Here is what I want you to do. We need more info to fix this: The things I tell you to type are shown in quotes..DO NOT type the qoutes (i.e. "cmd" you type cmd  <- see..no quotes)

1. I want you to press and hold the windows key and then press the R key to bring up the run dialogue box.
2. Next in the pop-up box I want you to type "cmd"  then press enter
3. In that black screen type "D:\"
4. next Type "cd  D:\attracmoded151\emulation\"
5. Then type "cd  D:\attracmoded151\emulation"
6. Now type "attract.exe" AM should start.
7. Try to start a game.
8. Now exit AM (Esc then quit)
9. That stuff that prints out there from AFTER (or below) attract.exe copy that and paste it here.

That will let us see any errors that pop up. That will help us a lot in helping you.

That command does not work I could not save the text so I took a screenshot

Maybe for next version make a log file so you can see amy errors.. not sure if attract mode is coded like hyperspin but on that frontend I cannot get any game to run either

@abls1
>First:
Please consider that attract.exe is found there:
D:\attracmoded151\attract.exe

and not (like your screenshot tells)
D:\attracmoded151\emulation\attract.exe

It's the wrong folder for the attract.exe

>Second:
I've tested your mediafire-files on another win7 64bit system. It works by modify the fusion.cfg (but i think the sonic-rom is broken. Attack Sub worked fine):

executable           D:\attracmoded151\emulation\Fusion364\fusion.exe
romext               .sms;.sg;.sc;.mv;.gg;.cue;.bin;.zip;.gen

Code: [Select]

# Generated by Attract-Mode 1.5.1
#
executable           D:\attracmoded151\emulation\Fusion364\fusion.exe
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              D:\attracmoded151\emulation\Fusion364\roms
romext               .sms;.sg;.sc;.mv;.gg;.cue;.bin;.zip;.gen

That code worked in a small window:

Congratulations. The Emulator Fusion364 now starts your game '688 sub attack' successfully!
Set the Arguments (as told many posts ago) to fullscreen and auto. Enjoy:

args                 "[romfilename]" -fullscreen -auto

btw: use this version of fusion364 (your installed version seems not to supporting exit with esc-button)
http://segaretro.org/images/6/6c/Fusion364.7z

And for another emulators the same procedure as every year:
1) Set path to the executable of the emulator & set the name of the executable & set the extension of the executable: 
D:\attracmoded151\emulation\whatever_emulator\whatever.exe

2) Set the arguments of emulator ( use google or emulator website ):
"[romfilename]" -fullscreen -whatever

3) Set rom folder
D:\attracmoded151\emulation\whatever_emulator\roms

4) Set extensions of roms
.zip; .whatever

Wow hermine I did not even catch that. you were right I saw that as a version number and thought it was the exe  left off I can't get am to work in a VM so i couldn't test it like i should. thanks for your help

we got it though...have fun abls1

[omegaman]

This is why we always say "test your emulator on the command line first if you are having problems" which I thought was already done. Anyway, congratulations on getting it working. BTW, AM does give you error codes if you have a problem once you exit out it like Fox explained earlier. Good job Mr. Potter...
