SSF Problem

[ToeMath]

Hello

Has anyone had trouble using SSF together with SSFLoader in AM?

When I launch a game and go back to the game selection with the assigned key, AM goes into the background on blackscreen.

this is my configuration:

Code: [Select]

executable          cmd
args                   /c G: & cd "G:\Saturn" & start /wait SSFLoader.exe "[romfilename]"
workdir              G:\Saturn
rompath             G:\Saturn\roms
romext               .chd
nb_mode_wait    5

I have tried running a .bat file with a set of instructions, so that SSFLoader is constantly running in the background. with the intention that when going back the frontend shows something but it did not work

i use SSF r15

sorry for my english, i'm using a translator

Did you set resfix-plugin? Here

Why do you use cmd?
Do ssf not start directly?
something like this?
executable           G:\Saturn\SSFLoader.exe
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath             G:\Saturn\roms
romext               .chd

SSF cannot read games in CHD if SSFLoader does not execute the instruction. they are independent, when I launch a game in CHD format, what SSFLoader does is give the instructions to the emulator so that it can run the game, and after a few seconds it disappears, then SSF emulates perfectly but if I exit the game AM it does not react, and I have to kill the process manually.
AM, when waiting for the process to close, which closes automatically, does not return.

that's why I don't put SSFLoader as direct executable.

the problem with batch is:
if you press the AM Exit button, you only kill the Batch/.bat/commandline.
and not the emulator, that you start with the batch before.

different solutions:

start emulator directly, instead using batch

OR

start a external software/script together, that waits for Exit-button and kills the emulator (similar to OpenBOR. see section OpenBOR here).

OR

use this AM-plugin to start a script before and after the emulation. See here
