I have the Apple II gamebase but I have a problem to launch game.
I use Applewin emulator. When I launch a game nothing happen.
I used to launch my emulator without script (with my other gamebase). I think I did wrong but for this moment games from other GB launch great!
I try to put a script to launch game in Apple emulator (the rom have to be load in Drive 1 and run) but it doesn't work.
Do you have a tip for me?

nothing!
the problem will most likely be in your emulators.ini
check the paths to your emulator location.
This is my example.
check if the AppleWin.txt script file is in the correct scripts folder.
c:\gamebase\apple2mania\scripts\applewin.txt
the problem will most likely be in your emulators.ini
check the paths to your emulator location.
This is my example.
Code: Select all
[Emulators]
1=AppleWin 1.23
2=
[AppleWin 1.23]
UseShortFilenames=0
UseDefaultTypes=0
SupportedTypes=dsk;po;bin;nib;do;
EmulatorPathFile=C:\GameBase\Apple2Mania\Emulators\AppleWin\Applewin.exe
ScriptFile=AppleWin.txt
WaitFinish=1

c:\gamebase\apple2mania\scripts\applewin.txt

1) are you installing gamebase over multiple drives?.
2) have you given gamebase admin rights in your OS?.
3) when you run a game from gamebase, does the game archive extract the disks to C:\GBGame\0\
like this
C:\GBGame\0\221b Baker Street (1986)(Datasoft)(Disk 1 of 1 Side A)[cr Digital Gang].dsk
C:\GBGame\0\221b Baker Street (1986)(Datasoft)(Disk 1 of 1 Side B)[cr Digital Gang].dsk
if not, then you might have put ZIP, RAR or 7z in supported types.
you MUST remove those file types. Then GameBase will extract the disks, rather than trying to run a ZIP with 2 disks inside. Which it can't do.
SupportedTypes=dsk;po;bin;nib;do;
if you can, upload your settings so i can see your emulator paths.
include ALL your gamebase INI files, and tell me the actual location of your emulator files.
The emulator is running, so it must be a path in one of your ini files.

Drive "V:"
Ok lets start again!.
Uninstall Gamebase from "V" and any other drive you may have installed it on.
*you can still keep your Games, Screens and Extras on "V:"
Install GameBase on "C:".
C:\GameBase\Gamebase.exe
make the GameBase Apple Folder
C:\GameBase\Apple II\
copy the Gambase files to it

Scripts [folder]
C:\GameBase\Apple II\Scripts\AppleWin.txt

C:\GameBase\Apple II\Emulators\AppleWin\Applewin.exe
edit the emulators.ini for new path
EmulatorPathFile=C:\GameBase\Apple II\Emulators\AppleWin\Applewin.exe
your paths.ini can be kept the same.

It's just how some emulators need to be configured and scripted.
Your Games can stay on V: but gamebase needs to know where the extracted files are. After Install DEFAULT is...
C:\gbgame\0
you can make gamebase extract files to your network drive
press CRTL+O for front end options.
and select a root folder on V:
V:\gbgame\0
It should be able to read files from V: and extract them to C: so gamebase can read them.
but not sure if it that will work or not, over a network.
All your problems will be fixed when you put gamebase on C:ballez wrote:OK, I will try to do it BUT my GameBase is on V:\ because it's on my other computer.
V:\ is a network drive and it's very strange that it doesn't work with this Apple II GB because it works very well with the others.
