My Emulators just not working

Hi I installed the my emulators plkug in but just cannot get it to work.

I am able to select the emulator I want from the menu but then when I do it just shits media portal down and nothing happens.

I have set up 2 emulator both mame and project64 and it happens with both.

I have tried setting the path with and without quotes but no luck

I have checked it works from the command line within a dos windows and it loads fine so nothing wrong with the paths of the emulators

Hope someone can help this is driving me nuts!


Thanks

Progress

Just wanted to give you a heads up on what I'm working on:

- Launching PC games now works by checking a box in the setup for an emulator, to tell the plugin that this file do not require another file to start.

- .bat-files will be acceptable as emulators. Turns out, I already had that support, I just forgot to add it to the filter for the file browser dialog.

- Each game can now be associated with a genre. The genre can then be used to filter games by using the context menu in MP, but nothing happens when you press the buttons yet.

.. unfortunaley I can't login to the SVN server, so you'll have to wait a bit longer...

I use Visual Studio 2005 to program it in C# for .NET 2.0. Help is always appreciated, why don't you start with downloading the source code to see how it works?

Updated version in SVN

My password at Sourceforge had expired, so I fixed that and uploaded the newest version to the SVN. As I wrote before, game genres can be saved but it can't be used to filter with yet.

    Hey Chreekar,

    nice to hear that you're already working on the genre stuff. :)

    If I had some time to spare I could help you out a bit, but currently I've got too much around. :/

    *thumbsup*

    one thing that would be cool is a in game menu.

    Example your pess a key combination and the game pauses and a small menu pops up infront of the paused game and in there you have many options like save state,load state,cheats,change emulator settings,info about the game, exit game so on. I know this would be hard because you have to set it up for all the emulators but i would be willing to help you test out each emulator as you add them if you want to do this. This would be the best future.

    you can check out this plug in for some more cool ideas MeediOS :: View topic - myGames 1.4x

    i don't believe it is possible to do that. The only way I was able to that with myGames for meedio was to use the emulators in window mode and an extensive amount of subclassing.... The downside is that you lose all of the fullscreen accelleration that the emulators might have.

    ah i am not a programmer didn't know that so the only way to do this would to add it to the code in the emulators? This would be to much work :( or maybe not if we just used MESS The Official MESS Home Page ? i don't know but i loved my xbox which had many of the best emulators and i could press a keycombo and change settings save the state so on. Or is it possible to take the source code of a emulator and make it run as a plug in inside of MP? for example i click on a game and it loads up that emulator plug.dll in and when exit it closes that plugin.dll so that MP doesn't have all the emulator plugins running and slowing it down?
