Problem with exe...I can't run this emu

pcmaker · January 27th, 2006

Where's the problem pls?

cyclonmaster · January 27th, 2006

Of course u can't run it drirectly. This emu extremely incomplete. It don't has a GUI. U should run it by 'DOS command prompt' & type 'gcemu game.gcm' , game.gcm is u're gamename file.

raksmey1309 · January 27th, 2006

It should be like this.
Click the 'command prompt' in start menu.
The Dos screen appear.
It look like this on my PC:c:\document and setting\raksmey
Just type
c:\document and setting\raksmey\gcemu.exe your_game_name.gcm(not iso)
It should works.

hey first post. anyway what if i only have an iso?

raksmey1309 · January 27th, 2006

Just rename it to .gcm.

Low Lines · January 27th, 2006

Hey does anyone know how to write one of those simple Dos shortcut thingos, I can't remember how it's done, but it would be heaps easier to run the emu if one was made. They can be done in Notepad, I did one while having a go at GBA homebrew (no success though).
They call 'em ".bat" files if that helps...

Clements · January 27th, 2006

Just put the gcm in the same folder as the emulator, create an ordinary shortcut, and add the name of the gcm after the target field. eg.

"C:\GCemu\GCemu.exe" gamename.gcm

Removes the need to use the Command Prompt every time. Hopefully someone will come up with a frontend for it like the GCube one.

Low Lines · January 27th, 2006

You are probably right Clements, but I just worked out how to do the .bat files, so I show people how to do it. I'll post this in EmuTalk as well...

Open up Notepad and type in this code...

cd directory
call gcemu filename.gcm

And save the file down as a ".bat" file.
You can make one of these for each game and run it by just opening the ".bat" file. I hope this is useful...

undertaker666 · January 28th, 2006

Clements, your idea doesn't work i tried. btw can the name of file contain spaces?

Clements · January 28th, 2006

Nope. Replace them with underscores.

CocodaMonkey · January 28th, 2006

Actually yes it can contain spaces. You simply have to put double quotes around the whole thing.

If you are in windows XP just use tab completion. In otherwords type the first 3 letters of the filename and press tab and it will fill in the rest for you. It will even put quotes if they are needed.

I have renamed the iso to a .gcm and it does not work. Are there any programs that can convert the iso to a gcm?
