Afflicted, not of safeguard of the high scores in this version...: (... I have too much of work maintaining on another emulator to implement it

Complete recasting of the engine and thus whole rewriting of the emulated plays

Woo, you rock Alek!

You are NOW my Fave coder.

I'd like to see savestates, though.

Will this only run the OLDER games, or might Namco Museums work later?

When i start it, it just says "Search for FAT drivers..."

[The Hombrew Hunter]

And then it says "No game found!"

So, nevermind, I retract the last statement.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work with the Max Media Dock, even when using GBFS.

[alekmaul]

Very strange pb for the Max Media ...
Colecods works fine on it and I use the same fatlib.
Did you create a MARCADS directory in the root directory of your max media ?

[ThePlayer]

The way a max media dock looks is like this , there are some folders , audio - games - video , so yes I had , audio - games - video - marcads , then I had the files all in one marcads folder.

I tried it without changing anything in the folder , other than adding the games in with the marcads.nds file , I also tried using a ROMs folder like mame.

I even left in the _V30 in the folder name.
And without it.

It just doesn't work.

Maybe you should just let people load the game instead of having the program search for it.

You could also put in a test ".zip" file to prove to a user the program can see the file if it is correctly packaged.

As a new user , I couldn't tell if it was my .zip file or your program , as to why it couldn't be found.

But now I believe it just doesn't work for max media.

[alekmaul]

humm ... the problem is that roms files are copyrigthed so i can't give one with marcads ...
I think marcads works on max media because it says you that it can't find games , so the init is ok.
are you sure than your zipped files are ok as it is explain in gamelist.txt ?
