GameBase C64 hyperspin launch

[ANX]

Hi all,

My first thread after skulking around the forums for a few months. I've found the information posted has helped me out with most of my problems but i've hit a wall trying to get Gamebase 64 (GBC_v07) to work from hyperspin.

It works fine otherwise but not from the hyperspin menu. I tried using the AHK on hyperlist but am having no luck.

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

;******************Commodore 64*************************************

else if (systemName = "Commodore 64" && executable = "GBlauncher.exe")

{

hideDesktop()

Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, closeprocess

params = db=GBC_v07

Runwait, %emuPath%%executable% %params% id="%romName%", Hide UseErrorLevel

Process, waitclose, x64.exe

}

I think i'm missing something in the GBlauncher params? Id or maybe fn? I'm very much a learner in scripting.

Thanks in advance

Hi again,

I have found the problem with GBLauncher. When i launch it from hyperspin it is inserting the romname (in this case 8839) where i don't want it. Ideally the script would look like this:

--> App Path: [C:\HyperSpin\emulators\C64\GameBase\]

--> Command line: [db=gbc_v09 id=%romname% wait=1]

I removed the rom extension hoping to remove it but ended up with the same problem except without the .zip at the end of the rom name eg I was getting 8839.zip now getting 8839.

Any help with adjusting my launch script (it's still the same as my first post) would be much appreciated. Thanks

--> Command line: [8839. db=gbc_v09 id=%romname% wait=1]

--> db param: [gbc_v09]

--> Missing or invalid id/filename param in command line.

Bye!

To elaborate further what i am trying to get rid of in the command line is this

"C:\HyperSpin\emulators\C64\GameBase\GBLauncher.exe" "RomName." db=GBC_V09 id=%romname%

Thanks again

This is what I use to use for gamebase c64 when I was using hyperlaunch 1

;***********************************Commodore 64 *************************************

else if (systemName = "Commodore 64" && executable = "GBLauncher.exe")

{

hideDesktop()

params = db=GBC_v03

Runwait, %emuPath%%executable% %params% id="%romName%" wait=1, Hide UseErrorLevel

}

Thanks for the reply guyverjay,

Still no luck unfortunately. Still have the same problem. C64 is my last system to get sorted before i register and get myself some themes.

Thinking i'll register and hopefully get a bit more help if i'm gold or platinum plated

Now that i've donated I am hoping to get a some help with my problem. Anyone got any ideas?

If you're still having issues with this, let me know, just spent a day figuring it all out and i think i've got a decent handle on it now.

Could one of you that has this working please show your settings [exe info] section of your {Commodore64 System}.ini? Are you using the Gamebase/Games folder as your rompath?

You don't have to worry about rom extension, it will do d64 as well as the other formats.

Figured out my issue - I'll post it here in case someone else has the same problem....

I used Gamebase to export my game list, and then ran it thru RomLister to create the Hyperspin database XML. But what I didn't notice was that the Game name was in the format of "Gamename.zip" instead of "Gamename". Once I did a quick mass edit on the database XML, I was good to go.

Thanks!
