The first thing you are doing wrong is to post a proper description of the problem...

There are a lot of possible variables.

Which version of the Gamebase frontend do you have installed? -v1.3 is the current one
Which version of GB64 are you running?-v08 is current
Which emulator/version of it are you using?
Did you configure the emulator inside GB64? (Gemus/Emulator Setup Wizard)
-Which game are you trying to run? (could be an issue with the game)

The more information you give us, the more likely we are to be able to help you out.

my GB64 is v1.3, my Gamebase frontend is GBC_V05

the emulator was already configured, and no games will run.

Why should anyone help you if you put no efforts in a proper description?

i cant give a description really, i have amiga, speccy, vic20 gamebase and they all work fine, however when i run GB64 it loads ok but when i double click to play a game i get a small message 'waiting for emulator to close' and the emu flashes open then closes! However if i run the emulator OUTSIDE of gamebase...it plays fine!

Could be a few things...
Your Script is corrupt.
VICE.INI file is missing from the emulator DIR.
Your Emulators.ini is pointing to wrong emulator location.

this could be easily fixed.

1) Put your emulators in the default location.
EXAMPLE
C:\GameBase\GBC_v08\Emulators\WinVICE-2.3-x86\x64.exe

2) Edit your EMULATORS.INI file and check the paths for the emulator and VICE.INI file.
C:\GameBase\GBC_v08\Emulators\WinVICE-2.3-x86\vice.ini

*If you do not have the Vice.ini file (the script needs it).
Run emulator, set your options and select save current settings from WinVICE menu.

3) DELETE your emulators.INI file and run the Emulator setup wizard from the GameBase menu, and browse to your emulator x64.EXE.

If you have problems, i will go through it step by step with you.

PM me.

followed that to the letter, still no luck

just thought...

do you have "ZIP,"RAR","7z" in the SupportedTypes in your Emulators.ini.
if you do. REMOVE THEM.

it should look like this sample.
EMULATORS.INI

tbh i think my gamebase folder is messed up! and my emulators.ini doesnt even have a c64 emulator listed!!!

gamebase is in D:\
emulator is in D:\WinVICE-2.0

heres what emulators.ini looks like:

[Emulators]
1=spin
2=Spectaculator
3=Spectaculator 6
4=

[Spectaculator]
UseShortFilenames=0
UseDefaultTypes=0
SupportedTypes=TZX;TAP;DSK;Z80;SNA;RZX;SZX
EmulatorPathFile=D:\spectrum_emul\Spectaculator.exe
ScriptFile=Spectaculator.txt
WaitFinish=1
1=

[Spectaculator 6]
UseShortFilenames=0

well that explains everything.
no wonder it doesn't work.

i will create a working setup (with all the latest C64 emulators included) and upload it tomorrow.

you might want to download the version "8" torrents while your waiting.

Ok here is GBC_v08 already setup with emulators configured.

read the included text file.

Just extract to your Newly Installed GameBase folder.
c:\gamebase\
