No, Sorry!

Tried contacting Mattia.M78 on Italian Facebook through Seiya.
No reply as yet. (maybe it's the wrong person?).

Also seen the same name posting on a ArcadeItalia & Hyperspin.
but user has no recent activity.


If anyone knows Mattia.m78 or the VB6 code to launch Games that are in the Extras, please let us know.

Thanks.

Hi Mad

I have read the good news concerning the patched GBlauncher for the Vic 20 extras. Has this been uploaded somewhere?

Thanks

yes i have the GBLauncher, but GameEX and other front ends need to be updated with the correct commands for it to work.

I did email it to Tom Speirs (GameEX) in January.
He said he would take a look.
So maybe he's fixed it already??.

The new GBLauncher works by using the "Extras Name" to run a game stored as an EXTRA.

(batch file).

Code: Select all

C:
CD "C:\GameBase"

GBLAUNCHER.exe db="SFC" id=108 extras="Trainer Version" wait=1

Hi Mad,

Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately I am not updating my Gameex since a few versions as I am fine with the one I have. Gameex is keeping changing and more and more ressource demanding. I am running the frontend on an old PC configuaration in the cab so it do not make sense for me to keep it up to date.

Anyway thanks for your kind help! :P

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Ive got around to doing some updates for GameBase support in GameEx and I can easily add this feature.

Although I see the last gamebase release was 1.3 three years ago. So I don't have a version of gblauncher that supports this.

Cheers.
Tom.

Thanks.

Seems to work fine. My only concern is people wont have this update.

I think what I will do is check the file date and then enable support if its newer.
