Various emulator settings

[sosimple]

@ sosimple
are you able to start a game correct from commandline with cart1 and cart2 as parameter?
(mame documentation)

something like this:
mame64.exe  cpc6128 -flop1 "C:\AMSTRAD\yourgamedisk1.dsk"  -flop2 "C:\AMSTRAD\yourgamedisk2.dsk" and so on...

if this works, we can find a way, to add to AM

Thanks man.. I tried many things didn't succed yet. I am sure it can't be done, i just don't have enough Knowledge..
If i made it I'll post here. Thanks again.

Have a look to mess (which is similar to mame commands):

Code: [Select]

Floppy Emulation

MESS supports floppy disk for a huge number of systems. To load a floppy disk in MESS, you simply need to use the -flop option (for systems with many floppy drives, you use -flop1, …, -flop4 respectively):

mess.exe <system> -flop foo.ext
so it should works in mame too. Try in commandline:

Code: [Select]

change to mame folder with
cd your_path_to_mame

mame64.exe cpc6128 -flop1 "C:\AMSTRAD\yourgamedisk1.dsk"  -flop2 "C:\AMSTRAD\yourgamedisk2.dsk"

what are your config for steam? same like here (section Steam).

Code: [Select]

executable           C:\attract\EMU\Steam\Steam.exe

in newer version of AM, there is a non-blocking-mode-parameter (nb_mode_wait)

So, I Tryed with Both codes and I launch the game, the screen goes dark, the game launch... After while the AM goes back and the controler start to work in there's as well. So when i press "A" in the game, the command goes into AM as well

@ poyomg
Did you set video resolution in yabause settings too?

@ poyomg
Did you set video resolution in yabause settings too?

Yes I did, and the strange this is when I play the emulator alone, it plays just fine (my screen resolution is 1360x768), the problem is when I run the emulator from AM.
