EmulationStation

[newton]

Hello,

Could you help me, please.

I'm looking for the command to launch games with EmulationStation

<emulator name="raine" command="%HOME%\..\emulators\raine\raine.exe - ???  %ROM%"/>

what should we put in place of ???

Thanks a lot

Wrong forum, you should post to emulationstation, I don't know this frontend...

Or you could try raine directly eventually !

Hello,

Is-it possible to know the command ms-dos for launching raine, please ?

raine - ??

Thanks a lot

[Tux]

yeah and you can even use raine -h to get the command line options (assuming you have a real terminal, not cmd.exe).

If you have cmd.exe then do something like raine -h > log.txt and look inside log.txt then !

Thanks a lot😃

I attach the file if other people need it🙂

log.txt

Hello,

Just a little question :

i used with Raine64, the command (for  example) :
raine.exe -n -fs 1 -g "c:\emulationstation\roms\raine\1944.7z"

but it doesn't work...

Could you help me understand my syntax error, please

Thanks a lot

-g is optional but is not followed by a path, but by a game name. If the game is the last parameter then you can forget -g
A path is used only when passing a neocd cue or iso file.

Now you are out of luck there seems to be a bug with opengl when using -n

Meanwhile you can use -video 1 which is working with -n, or wait, but I don't plan to fix it just now, sorry, or try to patch it yourself... !

Hello,

I'm a newbie.

I don't know enough to do it myself 😓

I will wait for a next fix from you even if it is in the distant future👼
I tested with -video 1 but i have a message (see the picture)

and the game does not start.

I tested with many roms

Thanks for your help

Yeah yuv overlays are disabled in 64 bits because the color conversion is done in mmx asm, very fast, but 32 bits only.

You can also try the windowed mode. -fs 0 with -geometry. Reminds me that I should add a command line option for "no border"...

Hello,

I have a new message error, sorry...😔

"Could not open IPL.TXT!"

Probably because you passed a zip file on the command line, so it assumed it was a zip containing files for a neocd game, ipl.txt being the main one if it doesn't find it, it stops here. You are going to have to learn at least the basic, I can't answer all the basic questions !

Hello,

I used the command :

raine.exe -fs 0 -geometry -g "c:\emulationstation\roms\raine\1944.7z"

and i have the problem : "Could not open IPL.TXT!"

[Tux]

Sigh.

It's used like this :

raine -geometry 800x600+10+10 -n 1944

(for a 800x600 window placed at 10,10)

As I already said, passing a zip, or a 7z is to read neocd games, not standard roms, this message makes sense in neocd only !

I added a few command line options, -rp to set the 1st rom path assuming you never ever use the gui to do that, which is rather weird, -nb to have no border, and -wb to have a normal window with border, useful since -geometry removes the border (better like that when you want to place precisely a gaming area on a tv where the borders of the image are invisible).

They will be in next release.

Thank you for your comprehension.
