If someone downloads it and uploads it to rapidashare or something similar, i won't be offended, i just dont have time to do it myself.

Anyone founds any bugs or errors, please let me know for the next release.

first off CPCE32 doesn't work on some computers.
use the cpce95.exe

if a game doesn't load in winape...
you can change the game machine config in the gemus
Example press f2 and enter this...
machine=cpc464

emulators.ini

Hi,

is there a chance to upload AmstradMania at Megaupload, Rapidshare or somthing, 'cause of UG's registration stop.

Would be great.

.mad, I'm getting an error when running any games in AmstradMania. I copied the scripts you posted above into the AmstradMania script folder (I think that's where they go right?) , but after selecting my paths to CPCE and WinAPE, I get the following error:

"Invalid file referenced in script function. Do you want to continue running the game anyway?". If I hit "yes" it seems to run anyways. So what could this error mean? The Gemus.log is posted below, and shows this error:

"-----------------clsGemus.Process_SET_INI_VALUE-----------------
Associated script file [1] does not point to valid file
----------------------------------------------------------------
Error returned: [Script aborted!]"

I keep my gamebase under C:\GameBase, but my emulators, games, and extras are all located in d:\GameBase under the same directory structure for space reasons. It seems the script is having a problem locating a file, but I don't know what the problem is.

Also, should "Use Short (8.3) Filenames" be checked? I see that checked in some gamebases and not checked in others, and I always wonder if that should be checked or not.

Hi oknihcap,

if you look at the script you will see this command several times

Set_INI_Value(1||

this means read and edit the INI file in location (1)

edit the emulators.ini file and change the location (1) stored here.

1=C:\Program Files\GameBase\AmstradMania\Emulators\WINAPE\WinApe.ini

remember if you move the files, you need to change all the stored paths in the INI and CFG files as well.

Why is it looking for [C:\GBGame\0\002 Agent Double (F) (1990) [Amstar & CPC].dsk] ?

that's where gamebase extracts and stores the DSK images from the ZIP archives, so they can be run in the emulator.
that is a normal and correct action. And it did the same on your XP setup.
most gamebases won't work without it.

so even though your games are on another drive, they will always get extracted to your GameBase Extract folder.
the default location is c:\gbgame\0
you can change this to where ever you want.

some gamebases Enterprise for example
sets this to it's own default location in the script.

good luck editing all you config files.

Of course! I completely forgot to point to the ini/cfg files for each emulator. Now it's running fine. Thanks as always for the help.

I guess I never noticed the working folder before. I see now that I can move it to any location. It doesn't remove the folder and the recent games though when gamebase closes. I guess it just leaves the working folder behind?
