cannot get it to run any emulator

[abls1]

I tried changing the remulator paths and rom path and nothing

rom:
B:\Emulator Roms\Fusion364\genesis roms

exe:
B:\Emulator Roms\Fusion364

I noticed it uses

for exec
$HOME/fusion/fusion

for roms:
$HOME/fusion/roms/

Not sure why but tell me what I'm doing wrong!!!

Thanks

please enter full path to .exe, put the .exe-extension behind and set the arguments/parameters (in your case:-gen "[romfilename]")
Please note :  http://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/emulation/command-line-parameters-arguments
Please turn off hiding extensions : https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/kb/865219/en-us

Here is another example to get an idea of what to do. General rule of thumb, if the emulator works on the command line it should work the same in AM. AM just passes the info to the emulator.

# Generated by Attract-Mode 1.2.0
#
executable            Generated by Attract-Mode 1.2.0
#
executable           C:\Emulators\retroarch_gen\retroarch.exe

You notice the space in that path for your roms abls?

rom:
B:\Emulator Roms\Fusion364\genesis roms
                   ^                                      ^ 
exe:
B:\Emulator Roms\Fusion364
                   ^
That's not always a good idea. The command line doesn't like spaces. If you must keep that type path you'll need to use "B:\Emulator Roms\Fusion364.exe" for your path - yes add the quotes! (Type that as is)

Also the example set up it for linux. You did fine by changing it but try without the spaces like omegaman has shown.

Also hermine.potter is right your executable needs to be ..Fusion364.exe Windows needs to have an extension (gotta love DOS!)
Please post any errors from the command prompt if there are any (right click then copy in the command prompt window)..that might help a lot.

Not working still, but i was able to add snaps and generate a list..

Here is my new config:


# Generated by Attract-Mode 1.5.2
#
executable           "B:\EmulatorRoms\Fusion364.exe"
args                 "[romfilename]" -fullscreen
rompath              B:\EmulatorRoms\Fusion364\genesisroms
romext               .gen
system               Sega Genesis
info_source          thegamesdb.net
artwork    flyer           $HOME/fusion/boxart
artwork    marquee         
artwork    snap       B:\EmulatorRoms\123allsnaps\Sega_Genesis\Snap
artwork    wheel      B:\EmulatorRoms\123allsnaps\Sega_Genesis\Cart

Thanks

For fusion try something like this. Make sure you have the right rom extension. Most of the downloadable roms are either zipped .bin files or srm files.

executable           C:\Emulators\Fusion\fusion.exe
args                 --fs --quickexit "[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\Emulators\Fusion\roms
romext               .zip;.md

Not working ;;

My rom extension is .gen and it works perfect with the emulator without frontend.

OK, so you can run a game from the command line outside of AM fine ? When you try to run a game in AM, what error do you get when you exit AM? If, everything else is correct then you have something wrong with your romlist.

Step one, make sure you have the correct romlist selected under display/emulator. If that is correct then check the romlist and make sure the rom names match what you have in your rom folder. Otherwise try deleting the romlist and creating a new one.

Also, did you generate a romlist or import one? Again, check the romlist and make sure the names match.

The roms run fine with fusion outside of the Attrack Mode..on the frontend they do not run!!!Generating a rom list takes a while so I just added 1 rom to the folder and generated a new list with 1 rom but nothing.. when i press Enter/leftctrl to start the game nothing happends no error crash or anything that indicates an error.. inputs is like not been registered to run the game.

This behavior sounds like an issue with your romlist, can you post it here? Thx...  Also, you might want to check your controller mappings in AM, is select mapped etc...

[hermine.potter]

I've tested this config & it works..
-auto sets the region of game to automatic (pal, jp, eur).
I don't know your parameter --quickexit. Is it even necessary (because fusion exits already by pushing the ESC Button)?

executable           C:\attract\EMU\Fusion364\Fusion.exe
args                 "[romfilename]" -gen -auto -fullscreen
rompath              C:\attract\EMU\Fusion364\roms
romext               .sms;.sg;.sc;.mv;.gg;.cue;.bin;.zip
system               Sega Genesis

rom info


#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra
688 Attack Sub;688 Attack Sub;fusion;;1991;SEGA Enterprises Ltd.;Strategy;1;;;;;;;;


to start the game I press leftCtrl or Enter.. on xbpx360 control is just start

[abls1]

Not working either..I tried this configuration


# Generated by Attract-Mode 1.5.2
#
executable           "B:\Emulators\Fusion364.exe"
args                 "[romfilename]" -gen -auto -fullscreen
rompath              B:\Emulators\attrackmode\GENroms
romext               .sms;.sg;.sc;.mv;.gg;.cue;.bin;.zip
system               Sega Genesis
info_source          thegamesdb.net

I'm using windows 64 not sure if that matters

Do me a favor..wipe you fusion config out totally..along with your list. (Yes erase them) just them though! We will start fresh.

oh..wait..you said any emulator...you can not run mame either?

[abls1]

I will start a new attrack mode and a new fusion folder.. I tried gens and it also not working let me try a nes and will get back to you before starting new.
