There are a couple of games that seem to boot the UI (ala workbench for the amiga I guess?), but then cannot see the data disc for the game required.
Aa the actual game is still in the Zip file, the emulated OS cannot see it....
What does one do there?

That would be because wolfenstein3d has the game disc in a subdirectory, within the zip!
hmmm.

Deja Vu 1 & 2 contain a system disk like workbench as well as the game disks, you could extract a copy and put a copy in any that require a system disk. Did know about that problem but didnt check every game. You boot it off the system and then mount the game disk in slot 5 disk 2.

Also for Bard's Tale it asks for the character disk, I don't
know how to use it or even if there is one?

Otherwise it looks awesome

Also this might be in the wrong place but I d/l Amstrad CPC gamebase not the mania one and actually I got both versions

but none of the emulator scripts seem to work..either I need better emulator versions or something?

Having trouble getting roms to run. I have the GB installed, and the paths verify ok, and I moved rom version 1 to the top under Gemus, but most roms I've tried won't load. I either get a "Loading Error" message or "Boot Error" or "Unable To Load Prodos" error. Some did load okay, though. (For example, Arkanoid works, but not Arkanoid 2 - but after I moved rom version S to the top, Arkanoid 2 worked.). Is this just a matter of trying each rom version with a particular game until it works, or am I doing something wrong?

Also, Anybody know why I can't configure my Logitech keypad to work right with mess? Is there a trick to it? I've tried going into the joystick options, but nothing I select seems to make any difference. The buttons work, but I can't seem to configure it. The thumbsticks are all wonky.

It seems some games require a system disk to boot before inserting the games disk. If someone compiles a list of the games with issues for me i will have a look at trying to fix them. Wolfenstein dosnt work due to it needing 4MB and mess only allows 2mb for some reason. Deja Vu 1 & 2 do included a system disk which is booted first, then you need to mount the game disk in one of the virtual disk drives, using one of the drop down menus.

Yep, I use KEGS for Windows as my Apple2GS emulator of choice. I like it! It's easy to setup, and has run about everything I've tried on it... Wolfenstein 3D is just as cool as the DOS version, without question. (Almost exactly the same really).

Thumbs up for the 8-Bits!!

I have just done a major update to this gamebase to improve the look and compatability. This has now been uploaded onto http://www.underground-gamer.com without the emulators due to there rules. If some one whishes to upload a version on one of the many web based hosting sites i don't have a problem with that.

To be honest i wanted to split them up again, so that apple 2 and apple 2GS are seperate gamebases. I've already created an newer apple2 DB without the GS stuff.
