Amstrad CPC in GB

Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:04 am

Hi All,

This is doing my head in so I thought I would ask the guru's

I have setup Amstrad fine in GB (images, roms ets) but I really stuggling with the Emus

When I go to select the Wizard I can only choose C64 or ZX Spectrum for some reason??

I choose c64 but then made it run one of my Amstard .exe & changed the script etc. The Emu starts but only a few games run (not Head over Heals or Batman Caped Crusader, the 2 games I WANT to play the MOST!! dont work)

Any ideas on how to change it to the Amstrad emulators?

Thanks

Amstrad Emulators are not included in the setup wizard.
you do not need to use it.

The Emulator setup Wizard creates the emulators.ini file.
you can edit it in notepad, to change your install location.

all you need to do is extract this to your GameBase DIR
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZTDGT8B7

this is setup for C:\Program Files\GameBase\AmstradMania\

When extracted you should have
C:\Program Files\GameBase\AmstradMania\Amstradmania.mdb

Amstradmania Paths
These are already set as follows...

C:\Program Files\GameBase\AmstradMania\Games\
C:\Program Files\GameBase\AmstradMania\Screenshots\
C:\Program Files\GameBase\AmstradMania\Emulators\Winape\Winape.exe
C:\Program Files\GameBase\AmstradMania\Scripts\WinAPE.txt

Run GameBase
Select TOOLs > Verify Available Files.
And your good to go.

if you change the install location...
make sure the emulator.ini can read the config file

[WinAPE]
UseShortFilenames=0
UseDefaultTypes=0
SupportedTypes=dsk;cpr;cdt;
;TAPE Files removed so they autoload in CPCE
EmulatorPathFile=C:\Program Files\GameBase\AmstradMania\Emulators\WINAPE\WinApe.exe
ScriptFile=WinAPE.txt
1=C:\Program Files\GameBase\AmstradMania\Emulators\WINAPE\WinApe.ini
WaitFinish=1
2=
