zsnes not running and winvice prob too

[fuzzweed]

first off huge thanks for the work on this plugin - its really amazing to see how its changed and improved in the 6 months ive been abroad and away from the PC!!

However ()...
1) Zsnes isn't launching through gamezone. The ROM path and executable path seem correct, and it'll launch from it's own .exe ok so I know that the app and roms are OK.
2) Winvice gives me an error message "Error: cannot start process because a file name has not been provided". Once again it starts OK from the .exe, and ROM and app directory are configured correctly.

Let me know if you can see anything helpful.

Ok I have checked out winvice using PVRx2 and you are correct it has a bug

example if you add only C-64 then it wont have an executable passed to the launcher and will then fail. if you add a second machine say C=128 then the executable is passed correctly but now the ROM filelist only shows the one for C=128 even if you selected C=64. :confused:

I suggest untill I get chance to look at it you can try setting up a PC App to startup winvice for you.

I will now look at your other issue and report back what I find.

[EDIT]

I have checked ZSnes and it is working for me, unfortunately your log file stops 2 line before the crucial line that indicates the command line offered to launch. here is an example of mine:

Ok, I couldnt resist taking a look at why winvice wasnt working so here is version 1.4 for you to try see how this works for you.

thanks

brilliant!! I love a good code addict
on the snes problem, here's a clean log with the issue reproduced. All seems to be the about same as yours - you can see multiple attempts to launch it, but nothing actually happens.
Theres a few arguments that seem to be set differently, would any of these settings be causing issues????[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

tried zsnes again on my setup and it works fine, I then tried it from the command line with my settings and again it works fine then I tried your settings and I just got a black screen which I had to escape from by the three fingered salute.
Having played with your settings it seems to be the -v 20 that kills it, on my setup I have it set to -v 5 and it works fine so try playing with different video resolutions see how that goes. I am using zsnesw.exe version 151 if that helps

Cheers
