In Reply to: To Dave Dribin and Rocket 2600, help with Game Launcher. posted by Junior on January 28, 2002 at 21:09:22:
GameLauncher does look very arcade-like, which is why I was also trying to use it. With MAME for Windows, GameLauncher stopped working for me after running the first game (required a reboot every time). It worked better with MAME for DOS, but it would lose sound and lock up on occasion. Finally I settled on ArcadeOS and MAME for DOS. I like that ArcadeOS has a screen saver, is very stable, and runs fine when launched from the Windows Startup folder. There are even a couple of different menu options that you can select from. Plus, for anyone using a Hanaho encoder that is experiencing double key-presses in another frontend, ArcadeOS solves that too.
: Thanks for your help guys.
: I changed the things in GL as you told me to do. I ran it with the debugger and checked the result that was put into the log-file. The "funny" thing is when I run the "runit.bat"-file it works perfekt. The game starts like it's should. Isn't this strange? The log-file that GL creates works when you run it, but it doesn't run inside GL. I'm really puzzled here guys.
: I'm been trying for hours to get GL to run properly. Can you think of anything that I'm doing wrong here? My cab is so close of getting finished. I hate running Mame from the windows enviroment, I want it to look "arcadeish" if you know what I mean.
: Please help me out here.
