I had read that BFmulator and MFME can both be called to load games from the command line.

Can anyone tell me command line options for these or other fruit emus?

I was under the impression this could not be done , I could be wrong like

It's certanaly a new one on me, and I would guess in some shape / form, possible, but far as I know there is no public info on this or how to.

[private5001]

BFMulator can be run from a command line as can JPEmu, but as far as I know MFME can't. Cheese and I discovered this years ago when we were working on 'gb_fme' which was a front-end for running layouts.

We found a way to get this working for MFME but it involved accessing the registry and only worked if the layout had been previously run.

Thanks Dad! I checked out the thread, it was good, but I couldnt connect to the links within the it Oh Well.

Can you remember what the options were? I shall carry on trying!!

BTW I somehow managed to get myself banned from your forum whilst I was trying to register... I am not sure what I did wrong, but if it was something awful I am happy to learn what and never do it again.

Thanks All

Well I figured it out for BFMulator at least:

BFMulator.exe open [FileName]

Where [Filename] is the .zip or .gam you want to open.


Anyone any more ideas MFME or JPEmu ?

Can I ask the reasons why you are wanting to do this? Is it for a front-end or something.

Got it for mfme also now

Mfme.exe [FileName].GAM


;)Thanks All for your help:D Sure I'll have more questions soon !

JPeMu does not support any command line options...

   if (RunCmdLine) {
    // RunCmd contains filename
    Application->MessageBox("Cannot start JPeMu using Command line options", "Usage Error", MB_ICONSTOP | MB_OK);
    this->Close();
   }

Can't remember the reason for this tbh, it might just be a legacy from the game manager being added or something.

if your using hyperspin for the front end djvj made a script for mfme 3.2 9.4 and 10.1 all in one , ive used reshack to remove the info from the top of the emulators and the script removes the rest of the windowive also  cut 400 machines out and placed on a pub style background so they all look fullscreen, ive done all the video previews and just need to do the wheel art for it to be completed , as soon as ive finished them im more than willing to share on here as this was the source of the machines

thank you I did all 400 machines to look the same way, all of them require 1024 pixel height to fit on screen

also the script in hyperspin  triggers a magnier for the bottom right of the screen to make some of the features a little more readable

 

just need to find flyers for quite a few machines that aren't on repro to finish the wheel art for hyperspin and ill upload the lot for you guys to mess with
