Happy New Year everyone at Gamebaseland, i have created this little gamebase of the Memotech MTX 500/512 series for you, it has just over a 100 games in it, all the ones i could find.

It weighs in at 16MB, so its very small, enjoy

Has anyone else been having trouble getting games started on this? I have been using primarily my Win7-64bit system for gamebases, but tested this on my old WinXP-32bit box too (wanted to know if it was Win7).
A lot of games seem to get stuck in the Memu Video window when launching from the gamebase.
I took a look at the script file, and noticed the symbols after LOAD should both be quotes ""
I can change them to quotes (inside the emulator window), press Enter, and the game starts. Any idea why the emulator may be getting the wrong symbols passed on to it?

Code: Select all
LOAD~~
Not a string

Anyone manage to get "Revenge of the chamberoids" working? Seen this on an MTX website but can't make sense of it -
A 3D isometric game, by Chris Sawyer, for Megastar Games. Use number pad 7,9,1,3 to move. Looks very similar to Sepulcri Scelerati, but borrows from the coloured rooms, doors and keys ideas of Chamberoids. To load this, copy REVCHAMBER2.mtx to default.mtx and then LOAD "REVCHAMBER" from within MEMU. It won't work specifying the .mtx on the command line, because the first part uses LOAD "" to load the second part.

Updated version here contains joystick support via xpadder (will need to select your control device for the MTX configuration), added missing database info and fixed non working games, changed quotes for {C34} should now work on international keyboard setups.

the ASCII code that the Gambase script uses will be different on USA / German keyboards.
change the all the {c34} to @ (or the equivalent code on your keyboard) in ALL the scripts
example
Run_Emulator_Send_Keys([1]load{C34}{C34}{enter}[2]goto 3{enter}{PAUSE}||50)
Run_Emulator_Send_Keys([1]load@@{enter}[2]goto 3{enter}{PAUSE}||50)
That's due to the non UK keyboard.sjakie43 wrote: After the update i have the no string problem again....

I had already just changed mine back to use the @'s
It would still be nice for scripts that would work internationally. I wouldn't want a new or inexperienced gamebaser to be turned off of a good frontend just because of a small issue like this.

if key=german run emulator with these sendkeys.
if key=french run emulator with these sendkeys.
but even that wouldn't fix it 100%
as you are running emulators with pre defined keymaps coded in.
so if you wanted to type "run Zork" via script on a german keyboard you would need make the script type "run York".
in most cases you can getaway with running the gamebase filename from the command line, in emulators that have the option.
but for those emulators that don't have a command line option, or need a special command typing in.
every user will have to edit the script / gemus according to their keyboard.
Not a big deal, as you have already done it yourself.
Only way round it would be to make a global keyset for every keyboard.Hidron wrote: It would still be nice for scripts that would work internationally. I wouldn't want a new or inexperienced gamebaser to be turned off of a good frontend just because of a small issue like this.
