I'm afraid GEMUS is a bit too limited to make the 7-Zip 'on the fly' use possible
One problem is that if you use a variable in the 'Run_Program' function and it contains spaces GEMUS automatically adds quotes around them, which makes it nearly impossible to tell 7-Zip to extract the file. The only workaround is to use paths and filenames without spaces (and 'Program Files' is a good example for a path with a space... ) Also deleting the extracted file after the emulation is not possible, which means that all the extracted files will stay on the harddisk or there have to be a cleanup at the start which removes old entries. Maybe it's better to include the files seperatly then to mess with GEMUS too much (it will also make the requirements more complicated). If you want to have a look for yourself Retroplay I can give you my (very) experimental script with some explanations. |

I fiddled around last night with the ips patching script by Belgarath and it works like a charm in Snes9x 1.43 and 1.51, for some reason ZSNES didn't like it.
However one too many of the patches needs headers in the roms making it no less than a mess (hey that rhymed ). So for now I'll stick to pre patched roms, sorry for the inconvenience folks. @TheCyberDruid. Thanks anyway matey for looking into the 7z thingie. |

Also if you unzip to %gbgamepath%\rezip\ that directory always get deleted when gamebase is exited (or started). |

That's interesting, but that would mean that also the battery files for the game would be deleted. Anyway I think that using the pre-patched roms is the cleaner solution, even if it uses more harddisk space |

As for the battery files, well I know ZSNES defaults to putting them with the roms, but you can define a seperate sram path, i'm sure the same is true with snes9x as well. edit: but yeh I agree it's better to go with pre-patched roms for a number of reasons |

What I'll do is patch the roms and then remove the headers. I just tried this method with the swedish patch for the european Alien 3 rom and everything is fine. It's settled then, pre patched it is. Oh and btw if I haven't mentioned it yet, I won't be including dead or incomplete translations. Only the best stuff gets in. |

Good to hear it's settled now and the 'real' work can go on Erm, I know you'll hate me for it Retroplay, but how long do you think it will take for the beta to be ready? *ducks under his desk for the stupid question*

But please be aware it's still an early beta, lots of stuff still needs to be done in its current state. Oh and by that time, feel free to post any corrections (alot) you might find then. |

Yay I will test it then and post any bug I may find I will use SNES9x for my tests, so maybe Anubis can use ZSNES for testing

OK folks, here's the alpha 1 release.
Clicky I included the game Nightmare Busters for the guys 'n gals which don't have it yet as it's not included in the No-Intro set yet. Sorry no installer yet, files must be copied manually (no big deal). Last edited by Retroplay; 04 October 2008 at 18:02. |
