Hi Guy's,
I normaly create Imagepacks for the Frontend emuControlCenter.
(eCC is a similar Frontend to Gamebase...I use & love both )
Now, i want to create a small Gamebase : Philips VG 5000
I've allready made an eCC-Imagepack for this.
My Problem here is to have a working Gemus-script !
Before i continue this Gamebase, please help me out here
Here's my Gamebase
it contains :The Emulator, 2 Games with Screenshots, and the eCC-skript
(yes, ecc do also use scripts..but they are totaly different to Gemus...i think )
Thanks in advance,
Vicman

GEMUS is capable of doing 2 things:
1) build a string that is used as command line options when starting the emulator.
2) modify ini files before launching the emulator.
GEMUS cannot send keystrokes to an emulator and that is what you are trying to do, as far as I can see.
However, AAG created a small program for a beta version of the Dragon32 Gamebase, named AAGKEYS.
That program did exactly what you are trying to do: it launches the emulator and sends keystrokes to it to load and start the game.
Maybe AAG can help you with it.
You can read the Dragon32 GB discussions here and here.

Hi
The MSX gamebases use something else to forward the keypresses - maybe lord_kelevar or .mad. could help out??? (I think it used something called autoit - http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ ?)
AAGKEYS was something which was thrown together (although it did seem to work) - but whatever the msx database uses is a lot better.

This is the Autoit3-Script for the Frontend eCC.
But I don't know, how to use Autoit3 & GameBase

sure no prob
hi vicman,
.mad emailed today,
Sorry i haven’t replied earlier been a little busy but I will have a play and see what i can do. Probably won't be till the weekend though....
Once i have got it created i'll pm you the source code
LK
:edit 15/10 21.45
I have finished it (I found time tonight to do it! )
You script is nearly there you just needed to active the emulator window before sending the keys.
The emulator doesnt appear to use any command line switches so just use gemus to call the compiled autoit script and run the emulator. I have attached the source for you to take a look at....
The only thing I added is command line switches to type the relevent command and gamepath
Check you inbox for a link to the script and source.

Hi all,
The First Version of the GameBase is finished
It contains the knowing TOSEC-Dumps from Philips VG 5000 and one or more Screenshots each Game (76).
I haven't add much Meta-Infos on the Games. (only the Genre) This is a to do.
The Games starts automatically.
Thanks to .mad. for his help.
Special Thanks to Lord Kelevar for the Script !!!
You can download the GameBase Philips VG 5000 on Underground Gamer
In the case, that someone isn't a Member of UG, write me a PM with your email , and i'll invite you to UG.
If you don't want this, i can also upload the GameBase to
Rapidshare or Megaupload.....the GB is very small (ca.3MB)
Best Regards,
Vicman
