Can't get past the emulator set-up screen for Gb17

OK, I set the path to the emulator, and set up the script, but the OK button is still greyed out, what am I doing wrong? Here's a screen capture from my PC https://i.imgur.com/1DV1UIk.png

Don't think I have ever seen that window before. The Emulator Setup Wizard usually takes care of setting them up for me.
I have a lot of respect for Gamebase creators, maintainers & supporters.

Hi there. Can you tell me how you got past that screen? I've reached that point and am now pulling my hair out. The "OK" button is greyed out.

when the emulators properties has [OK] greyed out.
the emulator path is incorrect or file is missing.

check the emulators.ini file and edit paths to your emulator exe.
WinVICE v3.2 example

[Emulators]
1=WinVICE v3.2
2=

[WinVICE v3.2]
UseShortFilenames=1
SupportedTypes=D64;G64;T64;TAP;PRG;P00;CRT
EmulatorPathFile=C:\GameBase\GBC_v17\Emulators\WinVICE v3.2\x64.exe
ScriptFile=VICE3.txt
UseDefaultTypes=0
WaitFinish=1
1=

if you are using GTK3VICE then it should look like this with GTK3 path and script file.

[Emulators]
1=GTK3VICE
2=

[GTK3VICE]
UseShortFilenames=1
SupportedTypes=D64;G64;T64;TAP;PRG;P00;CRT
EmulatorPathFile=C:\GameBase\GBC_v17\Emulators\GTK3VICE\x64.exe
ScriptFile=GTK3VICE.txt
UseDefaultTypes=0
WaitFinish=1
1=


once those emulator paths are correct.
run gamebase and select "verify available files..." from the tools menu.

Return to “GB64 Help!”
