buddyweiser Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 When attempting to launch N64 games from GB3, Project64 launches, but I receive an error message saying "Unable to open file." However, I can click File, Open Rom, and find the ROM and then it works fine. Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 did you use UNC pathing when setting up your games directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Could be a problem with the switch for the emulator. But im not at my pc at the moment to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The Mediabrowser classic log will show the command line used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyweiser Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Sorry guys, I'm very low level on the knowledge base, I don't even know what UNC pathing is I havent used emulators since using zsnes 12 years ago in high school computer class. I only just discovered emulators for newer systems, and just installed dolphin today(but I seem to have the same problem as with project64, but with a longer error message) As with project 64, I can open the game once in the emulator, but the direct launch doesnt work.

shaefurr Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm guessing you're using MB classic? Using a UNC path just means using the shared network path, not the local path on the hard drive. You can enter this manually as well. When you open the Mediabrowser classic configurator, go to plugins > gamebrowser, what is the switch used for N64? I'm not running MBC right now, but I thought the switch in the GB config was just {rom}, can someone confirm that? Dolphin I believe was --exec={rom} 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyweiser Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 AWESOME!, Dolphin games are fixed, I had the switch wrong. Well the Wii games are right, I can't try the gamecube games yet due to the metada not populating, and so the games don't show up in MBC. However still having issues with the N64 emulator. I tried changing to the network path, but now games shows up in MBC, so i changed the path back the regular K drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 gamecube should be the same switch if you're using dolphin, im sure someone on here can post the switch for project 64 for you since my games arn't set up at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The default {Rom} should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyweiser Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have the default {rom} set, but it doesn't work for project64. Also, do you happen to know why my Gamecube games metadata aren't populating? I verified the folder titles with those on thegamesdb.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I take it you've marked the game folder as Nintendo64 and the game files are of one of the following extensions. ".z64", ".v64", ".usa", ".jap", ".pal", ".rom", ".n64", ".zip" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyweiser Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have the folder just marked N64 "K:\My Media\My Games\N64\Games" and yes I have multiples of .z64 and .v64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 In the gamebrowser server configuration, that folder is set as Nintendo64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redshirt Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 ok. Go into the server dashboard. In the task section, run the start new log file task and then run the scan media library task. When it's done, let me see that log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Redshirt Posted November 11, 2013 Solution Share Posted November 11, 2013 for version 1.6 of Project64 you have to use {rom} if you use "{rom}" with the quotes then the emulator complains that it can't find the file. It's in their faq here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyweiser Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks a lot Redshirt! I just assumed it would require the quotes same as all the other emulators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
