Quick Play and PCE CD games

[jaw970]

Hello,

I am using Ootake and Magic Engine along with DaemonTools 4.x How do I get a PCE CD game (any game) to auto load with either Ootake or Magic Engine? The games I am using are in BIN+CUE format. I remember that there's a certain command that you have to use for Magic Engine in the (can't remember the setup for this emulator though)

The goal is to use Quick Play, one of these emulators for PCE CD and have the games auto play.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jason

Hey

I've never used Ootake - but there is a Multiloader for Magic Engine (the multiloader takes care of cd and dvd and zip mounting). So you should just need to:
1) make sure an efind finds the magic engine emulator - 'pce.exe'
2) in the Efind results window select to add the multiloader for it - its called "Magic Engine QP Multiloader"
3) if you've got the lastest deamon tools that's pretty much it - it will mount you image if it can and pass the flag "-cd" to magic engine when it loads

Theres also a multiloader for Mednafen PC Engine, RetroArch's PC Engine, and MESS's PC Engine in case you have .chd images.

If you can tell me what command-line parameters you have to use in Ootake to have to manually load from CD, I can add a multiloader for Ootake in the next release

Thanks Butter100fly. I am using mednafen to play PCE and PCE CD games. No need for Daemontools on any mounting program as mednafen loads ISO's and BIN+CUE's without mounting them.

sure. I also mount directly sometimes, i'm getting lazier these days, but the advice is generally to try to avoid it as there are loads of considerations for mounting disc images that are best contained in a single tool like daemon tools rather than spread out and duplicated across emulators - I think its still generally true to say that using daemon tools will always get you more working games than using any emulator's disc image support....see the forums of epsxe for instance.....
