FBA & console commande line?
« on: April 20, 2018, 02:08:31 PM »
Hello
Thanks to the FBA team for their great work
I'm trying to run some console games in FBA with command line
I have DL all the pack games. Eveything works OK with the GUI

With commandline, most of the time I have a message "GAME is not supported by FB Alpha"
Is there a missing switch in the documentation?

Thanks

Can you give me an example of which game says this error?

For example, if I want to run Sonic the Hedgehog on Megadrive(Genesis), I'll do:
fba md_sonic

or for Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Dai Makai Mura) on PCEngine SG-X:
fba sgx_daimakai

The romset prefix (md_ sgx_, etc) is so fba can tell which system to emulate, the romset files on the other hand are just named sonic.zip and daimakai.zip.

hope that helps!
best regards,
- dink

Well,
"fba 1on1" is not working for me (should run 1 on 1  on coleco)
rom name is "1on1.zip" it works perfectly from the GUI
if I rename it "cv_1on1.zip" neither it works from commandline and GUI

sorry for my bad english
Thank you

run: [c:\fba\]fba cv_1on1

They would read the ample documentation provided with the releases or on the website. Or just use the setname displayed in the game list.

I'm sorry but i didn't find any info in the docs about that prefix stuff
Maybe it should be updated
Thank you

www.fbalpha.com/manual/

And the same entry in fba.chm in all releases.

Specifically, look at the "Rom Path Dialog" in the online manual or fba.chm
