Version 0.7.2 is out

[DerMicha75]

Hi,

Here comes the next version. Whats new?

Code: Select all

fixed:

- adjustment in config files (added new no-intro platforms a7800 and zxs)

added:

- 5 new platforms
  - Apple Macintosh (mtosh)
  - Atari Falcon (falcon)
  - Nintendo e-Reader (ereader)
  - Pinball - Future Pinball (fp)
  - Sega Model 3 (model3)
- EmuMovies download option
  - store your user login data
  - download all available media (images, extras, videos) for a plaform, select which types to download
- Read Game ID into "InfoID" when parsing Wii or Gamecube Roms (function is older but I forgot it in release notes)

internal:

- new versions of SWT and DJNativeSwing libraries

Please try the new EmuMovies download option. At first enter your login data in options dialog. Then you can use the context menu on the platform list. In the tools submenu there is a new menu entry...

The key/value support from 0.7.1 is still in beta. Using this should result in an popup with the configured values (see eccScriptSystem.au3 line 59. You should use the variables in this way in your own script.

And here are the links:

Hi Micha,

Good work!

Ps. the filenames in the links says v0.7.2

[DerMicha75]

ups, thats right, I corrected the title. 0.7.2 is the right number.

Micha

[Vicman]

Thanks Micha, i'll test it on weekend ;-)

[Vicman]

sorry for late reply, i'm a little busy with my vic-20 video project.

Just tested the emumovie download feature....
works nice
(tested with vic20 and amiga stuff)

keep up the good work micha !!!

[Vicman]

EDIT:
i have to correct my post above.....

the functions enable/disable :
do not import media files games marked as clones and above 1

do not work.....always all versions were downloaded.

Hi Micha I've gave it another try regarding the emulator and rom cmd paths and no go... By default it's %ROM% but the emu doesn't start the rom, just the emu (and I've tried the other options).

What I got in ECC is:

"ecc-user\gen\emus\Fusion.exe" "game.rom" with

escape path" - ticked
filename only" - ticked

Also, for videos to work, I have to "move" my video database generated by ECC to the ECC2's folders (easiest way, having figured out it has the same structure). Would be nice in the future to be able to add file by file with a context menu click like Ecc

Java looks slicker and the video, like we've talked about, is well placed in the visual scheme.

[DerMicha75]

Hi,

to your startup problem:

"escape path" in ECC1 means: surround the rom parameter with ""
"filename only" means: use %ROM_NAME%

Fusion works perfect for me with complete filename, so my start parameter for 32X is simply "%ROM%". But Fusion does not work with packed files, So I ticked "unpack all".

For adding files you can drag and drop them (use "image edit" view), or import a complete structure. At the moment I have no plan for changing this because the workflow is really fast for adding...

Micha

[jamesensor]

:S I really wanted it to work but it simply does not... and in ECC it does, flawlessly. I can't understand this, really.. and even you saying it works for you. I tried everything. Well, you're the creator of this so it's up to you what you do with it. Perhaps someone will get the same problem and in the future may post a solution for me here, perhaps.

Cheers!

(I'm in windows 8, don't know if that makes any difference.)

[DerMicha75]

Hi,

is there a _start.cmd in your ECC2 dir? If yes, please use it to start the tool. Then you will have a commandline window showing some text... please try to start a game and post the content of the console window (last lines should show the commandline to be executed). So maybe we can see the problem.

I'm on Win7 64 bit, but I hope this will work in Windows 8 too (currently I do not own a license to test it out)

Micha

[jamesensor]

Hi,
is there a _start.cmd in your ECC2 dir? If yes, please use it to start the tool.
Micha

Ok thanks for following this up

Yes there is. The content is something like..
(...)
"call version_holen.cmd

set LIB=
set LIB=%LIB%lib/commons-lang-2.6.jar;
set LIB=%LIB%lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar;
set LIB=%LIB%lib/DJNativeSwing-SWT.jar;" and so on "java -cp .;%LIB% ecc.ECCStart"

But either I click on it or open in a cmd window nothing happens. In cmd the feedback is in this pastebin

http://pastebin.com/4wwsdnZs´

that ends with

(...) ar;lib/sqlitejdbc-v056.jar;lib/swingx-beaninfo-1.6.2.jar;lib/swingx-core-1.6.2.j
ar;lib/swt-3.7M5-win32-win32-x86.jar; ecc.ECCStart
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have java updated in my pc, the update 17, and I can normally start ecc2 using the .exe

(I don't particularly like windows 8 but I managed to live with it installing a custom START MENU lol! And tick on "out with metro greet" too ufff...)

[DerMicha75]

Hmmmm. Strange. Normally the exe does the same as the cmd...

Please give it another try. Edit the cmd, there is a last line:

java -cp .;%LIB% ecc.ECCStart

Please change it to where your Java is installed, for instance:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -cp .;%LIB% ecc.ECCStart

The program should start, the cmd should be open. When you start the rom the used commandline is printed out, so I hope to find the problem.

Thanx for help, I want to make ECC2 bug free :-)

Micha

[jamesensor]

Great! So after changing path to java the debug worked. (Reminds me of ubuntu with terminal running apps)

I tested a random game again. Either the file was zipped or not, here's what I got in terminal with %rom% applied

C:\ECC2_0.7.2_full\user\gen\roms3 Ninjas Kick Back (U) [!].smd

When I read this I realized what might could be wrong.. it's the path, there's no \ after "roms", making the config think there's a rom called "roms3 Ninjas Kick Back (U) [!].smd". I tried adding a 2nd \ but results were the same. Tried to add \ to %rom% and still didn't worked.

What can I do? I tried add some \ and / without results. I'm glad we are near solving this ^^

Here's the pastebin for the app launch and my attempts:

[DerMicha75]

Thank you! This looks like an error.

I will check this. Are your roms packed or not? When packed, zip, rar or 7z?

Micha

[jamesensor]

Packed in the standard way, as a zip.

[DerMicha75]

Thank you for your reply. But it is strange... Look at my config:

In platform settings I use the default path for GoodXXX sets

In Emulator config I have this:

fusion2.PNG (13.84 KiB) Viewed 2206 times

In Meta Info I see this:

And this results in the correct

fusion4.PNG (1.16 KiB) Viewed 2206 times

In your Log there is tthe directory /good and then the unpacked file. This is wrong when you say, the file is packed. Are you sure you ticked the "Automatically unpack" option (see picture 2)?

When I not set this option I get:

fusion5.PNG (1.83 KiB) Viewed 2206 times

This is wrong, since there is no such file. But in my version there is a \ between path and rom. But maybe this was a bug and I fixed it in my version already. So please look if you ticked the unpack option. And that you surround the %ROM% in quotes.

Micha

[jamesensor]

Hi again!

Yes, that makes total difference! The quotes wrapping %rom% and the unzip option make the emu launch successfuly with the game. Perhaps this could be as default for next version, as newbies won't probably figure this out easely (Now I know, but maybe others will come here asking the same thing perhaps).

But as doing so, we''ll keep duplicate roms in ecc's folders. Space is a bit important to me, could you fix this in a future version? Like, suppose we have some gbs of games - 2x the size I'm not criticizing your work, just worried with the side effect of this option...

Cheers!

[DerMicha75]

Fine that it works now... I will think of an option to delete the unzipped image after launching the game.

Micha
