having a hell of a time making games work

[Gryph]

You need to type in a game name.

 

Then just press next.

i do that the end result is a dat file right?

 

It then gives me a screen to with 2 boxes seperated by ? marks then i hit next

 

 

I then take that dat file and put it in the tracklist???? i see other dat files there.

[Gryph]

Yeah, the end result should be a dat file. You should copy the stuff from the top %%%%%%%% to the bottom %%%%%%% and then paste it in either ASR.DAT (Kawaks) or NEOGEO.DAT (Nebula).

 

If there is no ASR.DAT in Kawaks, that means you're not using a loader. And in order to run most new games in Nebula, you need a loader.

For Nebula it goes in the romdata folder.

is there a kawaks loader for version 1.49, all the ones i have found are for ver. 1.45 and does not seem to be compatable with 1.49

 

any suggestions.

My Kawaks Loader is for 1.46, although I don't use it; I just use Nebula's Loader because I can get games actually working on it. :/

For Nebula.

[Gryph]

There are no loaders for Kawaks past 1.46. No one has hacked them...

[PLasticSlug]

ok i hate to be redundant, but i have a kawaks emulator that came with a loader. no problem.

 

But there are 2 icons the standard winkawaks icon and the loader which is a star. Both icons open kawaks, and the loader loads up more games. but none of them let me edit the asr file in kawaks to put the info in.??? any suggestions?

[Gryph]

First of all, don't open winkawaks.exe. Only only only open the loader. Also, you have to open ASR.DAT and Notepad and paste the stuff in there.

[PLasticSlug]

Ok still not working but i think i got it....

Using kawaks so we are on the same track.

 

I used the rom data maker and do all that stuff...I take the info it gives me and i paste it in to the asr file using notepad. the dat file i put it into the tracklist folder, I also i made sure the directory was pointing to the right folder for the track list and bam it sould work.

 

***EDIT********

I am not sure if i put the dat file in the tracklist, i just use it to paste it into the asr file, so then i assume i just get rid of the file. after that the game should work i suppose.

No no. Don't remove the ASR.DAT file. And don't put it in the tracklist. There is nothing in my tracklist folder.

 

Don't set any directories to where the ASR.DAT is. Set the directories where the roms are. If Kawaks detects that the roms and the stuff in the ASR.DAT match, then it will show up in the playable list.

Ok, one last time

 

1 get the dat file from the rom data maker

2 open it with word pad and paste that info into the asr file file.

3 get rid of the dat file (cause its not needed)

4 play the game

 

the game im stuck on is metal slug 3. i downloaded 2 other roms but it still wont read it yet. ?
