    sorry i have 1.2.0 rc not alpha

    installed the new version of my emulators still didn't install. installed mediaportal 1.2.0. beta and it installed.
    thanks again for all the help

    ok still having problems. i installed n64 emulator had all the setting done and made sure it worked before i set it up in my emulators. i placed it in my emulators but the rom won't start. the emulator starts but the rom won't. i also installed a sega emulator and it works great. couple of things. how do i get all the box art for eath game ( i thought it would down load the box art through mediaportal ). and is there a way to get the sega emulator to go to full screen when you start the emulator through mediaportal. thanks for all the help. mediapotal is great!!!!!!

    I am using Project64 without problems, remember that you can't use quotes in paths with Project64.
    There are many SEGA systems that uses different emulators. KEGA Fusion emulates a couple like the Megadrive/Genesis.
    in the arguments you enter %ROM% -fullscreen, to start the emulator in fullscreen.

    Good, I use version 1.6 of Project 64, I have attached a picture with my config.

    Regarding Covers for your collection you go to MyEmulators Configuration, Game Database, select system, in your case Nintendo 64 and then select one of four updating methods.

    ok. just a couple more questions. how do you set up the mame emulator through my emulators. i finaly found out you have to unrar the files to make the roms work with most of the emulators. i don't think you unrar the files for mame. if somebody can help me out that would be great.
    thanks again

    Great that it's working for you.
    No it's a special case for Project64 (and maybe some other emulator), you should use quoted paths as standard.

    Yes I'm using PCSX2 0.9.8 with MyEmulators and uses .ISO files.
    MAME works directly in MyEmulators without any special settings and it accepts .zip files.
