I am looking for some help to set up Winape in GBCPC: I need to automatically load a cartridge (cpr file) in Winape. It works perfectly with the dsk (Add_CLP(%gamepathfile% /a)), but it absolutely refuses to load a cartridge. What to I need to do (aside from CTRL+F3) ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is the Gemus Script, that hardmanm use for his AmstradMania v3 :
So, should be (/t)....
Code: Select all
If GameType CONTAINS(dsk)
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile%)
Add_CLP( /a)
End If
If GameType CONTAINS(cdt)
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile%)
Add_CLP( /t)
End If
If GameType CONTAINS(sna)
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile%)
End If
Run_Emulator()
EDIT :
Forget it.....silly me...it's for Tapes
But i saw on Facebook, you allready have the Answer

Hi, I indeed found my answer shortly after I posted. Your method is much cleaner, though.
I wonder if there is a command line for cartridges... Maybe /c ? Anyone can confirm ?

There doesn't seem to be a command line option for attaching cartridges, but I found a WinAPE.ini file in the emulator folder containing this line:
I haven't tested it, but maybe this works?
Code: Select all
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\WinAPE.ini||ROMS||Cartridge||CPC_PLUS.CPR)
If GameType CONTAINS(dsk)
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile% /a)
ElseIf GameType CONTAINS(cdt)
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile% /t)
ElseIf GameType CONTAINS(sna)
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile%)
ElseIf GameType CONTAINS(cpr)
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\WinAPE.ini||ROMS||Cartridge||%gamepathfile%)
EndIf
Run_Emulator()

Hi,
that is more or less what I ended up doing & it works perfectly.
For those curious, here is the way I did it (full GEMU for Winape):
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\winape.ini||ROMS||cartridge||D:\GameBase\Amstrad CPC\Emulators\WinAPE\ROM\CPC_PLUS.CPR)
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\winape.ini||DRIVES||Drive(0)||)
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\winape.ini||TAPE||File Name||)
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile% /a)
If Key_CARTRIDGE CONTAINS(YES)
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\winape.ini||ROMS||cartridge||%gamepathfile%)
End If
Run_Emulator()

That could work, however, a few questions/comments about your script:
Code: Select all
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\winape.ini||ROMS||cartridge||D:\GameBase\Amstrad CPC\Emulators\WinAPE\ROM\CPC_PLUS.CPR)
IMO it's better to remove the full path to CPC_PLUS.CPR. Not everyone installs the files to the same location.
Code: Select all
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\winape.ini||DRIVES||Drive(0)||)
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\winape.ini||TAPE||File Name||)
Is there any special reason to clear these values in WinAPE.ini?
Code: Select all
If Key_CARTRIDGE CONTAINS(YES)
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\winape.ini||ROMS||cartridge||%gamepathfile%)
End If
It will work this way, but you need to set a key=value pair for all cartridge based games. That is not needed, it can be done automatically by checking the file extension.
Also an unneeded/unwanted CLP is sent to the emulator. You always send
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile% /a) to WinAPE, I don't think it is needed to add the filename as CLP for cartridge based games.
If you can always send
%gamepathfile% /a to WinAPE
except for cartridge based games, this script will do exactly what you want:
Code: Select all
If GameType CONTAINS(cpr)
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\WinAPE.ini||ROMS||Cartridge||%gamepathfile%)
Else
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\WinAPE.ini||ROMS||Cartridge||CPC_PLUS.CPR)
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile% /a)
EndIf
Run_Emulator()

Thanks for that, I have modified the GEMUs & it works great. Only niggle is autostarting tapes, but I don't really use Winape for tapes anyway.
I have changed all paths to relative paths, so it should work with any install.
As for the 2 set_INI, I put them there to clear the Winape.ini. Without it, when I do a new release & use winape, it will create a new 1Kb file for the last file that was inserted.
