So is this my exact launch before code if I want to place sleep.exe in my loaders folder under Game Ex?

"[APP]\LOADERS\sleep.exe" "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" 5000

If so, I tried it before I went to work this morning and got an error with Daemon Tools.

Let me know if the above is correct and I will post the error here in about 1.5 hrs when I get in from work.

Thanks.

ps. If I recall right I don't think Daemon could find the .iso to load and BTW, can you please have it load the .cue file and not the .iso?

Maybe this is the reason it did not work, my filter is sat to .cue. With Turbo CD games you want to load the .cue file and not the .iso file this is the whole reason I am not using virtual cd.

Thanks Again!

The above should be correct. Also It doesnt matter what the file extension is. nrg,iso,bin,cue,md5 as long as dtools supports it. The problem may lie in the command im using to mount the image.. Like I said I couldn't test it. I did cut the coomand from this thread. A diffrent user suggested a space may be needed. If thats the case my app wont work and will give you the error about not being able to mount the disc image.

I will send you a PM call me when your at your pc and ill re-write the app.

Thank you very much to Brian for helping me with this, it is not working 100%!!!!
The attached wrapper is designed to work with the current build of deamontools lite.
The wrapper can be used for any system. The wrapper assumes Deamontools is installed to its default location.
X86 and X64 bit versions are included as they install to diffrent locations by default.

example usage of the wrapper is TurboCd_Leader.exe "[rompath]\[romfile]" 5000

This will mount the chosen cd image and mount it into deamon tools and then wait 5000 miliseconds before launching the next command.
This is designed to be run from the launch before section of gameex to mount a cd and wait a specified amount of time prior to launching the emulator.
This should fix any emulator that is having issues loading properly because the disc hasnt finished mounting.

Need help with Trubographx CD please


I cant seem to get this to work with turbographx cd. Anyone have any luck? - This is how I used to do it with daemon tools lite:

Command=Pce.exe -cd:M

LaunchBefore="C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\daemon.exe" -mount 0,"[RomPath]\[RomFile]"
LaunchAfter="C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\daemon.exe" -unmount 0


With the new CD feature the default config for turbographx cd is

pce.exe "syscard3.pce"[-VIRTUALDRIVE-]


and the filter is *.iso

Now with my experience with the magic engine emulator I cannot get it to work with "syscard3.pce" in the command line and the filter has to be *.cue

So assuming my virtual drive is M

should I use:

pce.exe [-M-] with a filter of *.cue - It doenst work for me. I had to reinstall daemon tools lite because I had no luck. Please can someone who has actually got it to work with this emulator please let me know the proper way to do this.

And yes I have the vitrual clone drive installed. Much THanks

have you updated your magic engine software, they are using a new command line
