Do you have a working commandline where you launch a kawaks game directly?

All I could do is:
Code:
"C:\emu\kawaks\WinKawaks.exe alpham2"
which launches "Alpha Mission II" (alpham2.zip) but only if the rom is located in the same directory as winkawaks.

Unfortunately, the following command does not work:
Code:
"C:\emu\kawaks\WinKawaks.exe alpham2.zip"
=> rom-extension is not allowed.

Two problems here:
1) Using commandline (or using a LNK), how can I launch a game stored anywhere else?
2) To be able to launch the game in MP, we need to be able to add the gamename without the file-extension.
I can code that, this is not possible in the current plugin version!

Maybe you have more info for "1)"....

In the kawaks readme they say that "winkawaks.exe -help" prints out commandline help instructions. This doesn't work here (v1.54), does this work on your pc?

EDIT:
If I pack the whole commandline into a LNK file, it works here:
a) Create a winkawaks.exe link => winkawaks.lnk
b) Edit the properties
c) replace the winkawaks.exe by "C:\emu\kawaks\WinKawaks.exe 1941"
and add "C:\emu\kawaks" to the "execute in" parameter
d) save and lauch! Works for me IF the rom called 1941.zip is somewhere in the rom directories. Doesn't work from a cmd-shell though (which is weird).

Stay tuned.... I will try to add the "no extension"-option when launching a file. This should do the trick!

Regards,

Daniel

i try winkawaks.exe -help (v1.46) and commandline usage is:

winkawaks.exe [gamename] [-option1] [-option2] ...

options:
-fullscreen
-help

examples:
winkawaks ffight -fullscreen

ok, commandline help seems to be broken in winkawaks v1.54.
I will add options to get the gamename (without path and extension) out of a filename. With this it should be possible to integrate Kawaks.

Re: winkawaks

ok, I've done the changes and I'm able to launch "1941" from MP.
(Had a hard time because most of my roms are not kawaks-compatible :-/ ).

Do you have an idea of how to exit winkawaks only using the remote?
I have to hit <ENTER> and <ALT-F4> to quit the emu, maybe there's an easier way (... more tv-remote-friendly :) ) ?

Anyway, code and a winkawaks-profile will be added soon!

Regards,

Daniel
