GameZone 0.4 Support Thread

[idkpmiller]

Hi,

Here is GameZone v0.44 with support for Project64 I have tested with version 1.6

Its a bit strange as there wasnt many options that seemed to be needed for my needs if there are others that you feel you need let me know and I will look at adding them

I have had to change from visual studio to sharp develop this mucked up the GUI a bit I am hoping no other errors have crept in but you never know, as usual let me know and I will take a look.

Last thing, until I release version 0.5 Nes64 support will not have its own image not a biggie but just so you know.

Cheers

Does that mean you now have save state, restore state and other features now mapped to your remote? If so that pretty much makes the hauppauge usability for GameZone better now than the MCE remote.

Yes, save and restore work from the remote.
I ended up mapping the following in the default area of irremote.ini.

TEXT={run(C:\SimKey.exe [TAB])}
BACK={run(C:\SimKey.exe [ESCAPE])}
OK={run(C:\SimKey.exe [ENTER])}
NAVUP={run(C:\SimKey.exe [UP])}
NAVDOWN={run(C:\SimKey.exe [DOWN])}
NAVRIGHT={run(C:\SimKey.exe [align=right])}
NAVLEFT={run(C:\SimKey.exe [align=left])}

RED={run(C:\SimKey.exe [F2])}
GREEN={run(C:\SimKey.exe [F4])}

This allows save and restore as well as navigating of menus and escape.
Works very well so far.

I updated to the latest version. I wasn't able to play anything as I had to connect in remotely from work but the program seemed to start up Project64. One thing you may want to change is the labeling as N64 instead of Nes64 or Snes64 in the GUI and config screen in the .05 version. I will try it out further tonight when I get home from work.

Thanks!

Ok you have hit on a problem I have is the naming of the Nintendos consoles which console does Project64 support is it the N64 and that is different from the Nes64?

I will do some more reading to try and work it out, but would appreciate your view too.

Edit: I think I have it now the name I have used doesnt actually exist its a cross between the 8 bit Nintendo and the 64 bit Nintendo :-) it does show that I'm confused though :-)
I will rename all Nes64 and Snes64 to N64 to conform...

Could you add some explainations around what youve done and add it to the wiki as I am sure many people are searching for all the different ways you can set up the remotes.

I've never heard of a "Snes64". The console is named the N64 or Nintendo 64 as far as I know (and I'm pretty sure on that). Project64 supports it - the N64. By the way, thank you for the updated version, it works great as always. This is really a great plugin, thank you again.

Thanks for the compliment, I have just changed all the references to Nes64 and Snes64 in Gamezone plugin and the wiki to N64 as advised. This will mean on the next patch; people that have setup the 'Snes64/Nes64' will need to set it up again as its new and correct title of N64 not really a big deal as there is not much to set up.

I have had a look at VirtualGameboyAdvanced which seems to be the most respected/popular gameboy emulator out there.

It comes in two varients the standard version which includes a GUI and all settings are setup by the GUI and a command-line version (SDL) which has no GUI and all options are passed by command-line and some by a tyext cfg file.

My thoughts are that ultimately the best one to use would be the SDL version far better integration into the emulator can be acheived, but this would really mean I need to sort out the controllers dirext X support which I backed off from a while ago (will come but not yet!)

Therefore I am left with the GUI version which means you must set everything up in the VGBA GUI this will mean very little work for me which means it hits this thread very soon :-D

Anyone have any comments on my thoughts, reasoning or direction?

[idkpmiller]

I know this can be a pain for people when they have just downloaded the latest patch and within 24/48 hours a new one appears offering additional features, but you dont have to try it you can wait until the next package.

For those that try it please let me know if it does work fine.

Cheers

And here is GameZone 0.45 with support for visualboyadvance version 1.80 beta3 (latest)

No image as yet this will be added to the next package release.

0.45 with VGBA works great! Thanks for the addition! I love being able to see my old GB games on the full screen!
