http://www.emulaunch.com A front-end application used for launching games on fifteen popular emulators on the Mac. Wed, 07 May 2008 10:15:17 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en EMUlaunch Version 1.5.2 has been released. Its mostly a compatibilty fix for users using SDLMame. Somewhere between 0116 and 0122 the launch script used by EMUlaunch was not working. Thanks to Mark LaBonte for the bug report and fix. Also, a small reminder to those who use SDLMame, if you ... http://www.emulaunch.com/feeder/?FeederAction=clicked&feed=Articles+%28rss%29&seed=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emulaunch.com%2Femulaunch%2Fversion-152-released-fixed-launch-problems-with-sdlmame-0122-and-updated-listxml-db-file-to-0122%2F&seed_title=Version+1.5.2+released.+Fixed+launch+problems+with+SDLMame+0122+and+updated+listxml+db+file+to+0122 Crap, seems that somewhere between SDLMame 0117 and 0122 (I suspect 0121), launching games through applescript has broken. An apple script command run in Script Editor: do shell script "/Applications/MAME/mame0122 /Applications/MAME/roms/game.zip" is no longer equivalent to /Applications/MAME/mame0122 /Applications/MAME/roms/frogger.zip run in the terminal. For now I suggest sticking with SDLMame 0116 or using MAME ... http://www.emulaunch.com/feeder/?FeederAction=clicked&feed=Articles+%28rss%29&seed=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emulaunch.com%2Femulaunch%2Fsdlmame-0122-not-launching-from-emulaunch%2F&seed_title=SDLMame+0122+not+launching+from+EMUlaunch A host of bug fixes and new additions have been made to EMUlaunch 1.5.1. Most noticeably, EMUlaunch now supports screenshots created by MAME OS X. By default, EMUlaunch looks for the nameoftherom.png inside of the user selected screenshots folder.
