Glad you got it sorted.
there is a newer version of the emulator, with many fixes and a few more command lines.
Xroar 0.31.1 (4th December 2013)
http://www.6809.org.uk/xroar/
You will need the Dragon & COCO ROM files (not included).

Hello!
I am currently looking for beta testers for the all NEW Dragon32 GB.
this will involve load testing games in MAME, and reporting non working games.
or being assingned a group of games starting with certain letters A-C, D-F..
and correcting any GEMUS errors.
a little GB knowledge would help, but it's not essential.
only people with too much time on their hands need apply. As it is a long and boring process.
if none is interested...
it will just take me a liitle longer to finish.

i asked for testers 5 months ago.
no one bothered or seemed interested.
I am still currently working on it.
All games are linked and working in MAME and Xroar with cover / inlay extras where available.
But it just takes time snapping screen shots and adding correct joystick data.
it's almost done...

Finally... the wait is over.
It's still not complete, and i doubt it ever will be!.
But i have decided to release it "as is" and let you enjoy what there is.
Dragon GB Folder (5 files)

Please report any problems.
And i will update if there are enough requests.

Not bad for a 1736 games incomplete gamebase.
Missing games? Missing extras?...
Great job again, .mad.
Any way to speed up loading times on MAME?
Thanks.

Hold down [F12] to put MAME or XROAR in warp mode.
Where possible, i tried to remap custom keys in MAME to the same as XROAR.
[F11] - Full Screen.
[F5] - Soft Reset.

I wonder if your computer can handle the Natural Keyboard autoboot mode for the sendkeys?.
or maybe your install path has spaces in the folder names,
and the generated command-line is broken with a space?.
copy
kong.cas and batch files to the \Emulator\MAME\ folder.
so they are next to the dragcoco.exe
run the batch files.
Batch1.bat
Code: Select all
dragcoco -ui_active -window -skip_gameinfo dragon32 -cass kong.cas
does the emulator open?
type...
CLOADM [enter]
EXEC [enter]
does the game load and run?
Batch2.bat
Code: Select all
dragcoco -ui_active -window -skip_gameinfo dragon32 -cass kong.cas -autoboot_delay 3 -autoboot_command cloadm:exec\n
Does the emulator open?.
did the game load and run automatically?

No spaces in path ... it's a conventional one :
c:\Gamebase\Dragon\emulator\mame
Both batch files work ... maybe a problem with Azerty keyboard

Updated Xroar script and GEMUS to use xroar -type command.
dragon (rc4).zip
Now works with AZERTY or any other EU keyboard.
Thanks to Subone for pointing out the error and testing.
