Hi,
I have downloaded the ngp emu RACE! ,which seems to run @fullspeed with sound.
But there is no selector integrated in this emu.

Is there a chance to implement a rom selector?

in fact, there's one.

in rage directory,you have a race.gpe which has no selector but you have another executable selectorRACE.gpe which do has a simple selector (but you have to configure it)

hi can u please explain how to configurate this simple selector i really don't have any idea

<--- noob :/
 
This stands in the selectorRACE.gpe:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

./selector ./selectorRACE_config
sync

cd /usr/gp2x/
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

I don't know what to do
 
just DL selector and put it together with RACE! in the same directory and after that just launch selectorRACE.gpe ;)
 
YEAHHH i made it!
First copy the file "selector" in the RACE! folder.

Then you will have to edit the following files:

selectorRACE
Code:
#!/bin/sh

./selector ./selectorRACE_config
sync

cd /usr/gp2x/
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

selectorRACE_config
Code:
#Selector configuration file
#Version 1.0

#Full path to skin files
skinPath=/mnt/sd/Games/NGPocket

#List of full paths of command line options
cmdLine=./race.gpe

#Full absolute path to base directory for file explorer
baseDir=/mnt/sd/roms/ngp											 <--------------- roms folder

selectRectangle=1

#File filters
fileFilter=ngp
fileFilter=ngc

Zipped roms arn't supported so unzip them ;)
 
Hmm, I must be doing something wrong. I downloaded the selector and the RACE! Emulator, put the selector in the folder, and edited selectorRACE_config to what you put (Changing the folders to the ones I am using), however when I start up selectorRACE.gpe I get:

***ERROR***
Error: No se pudo acceder al direct

Which I don't understand... Someone help, please?
 
Now it seems like it's loading (I'm getting Cargando at the start now) but after a second or two, I get the same error.

I must suck at this or something.

This is what I have for selectorRACEconfig:

#Selector configuration file
#Version 1.0

#Full path to skin files
skinPath=/mnt/sd/Neo Geo Pocket Emulator

#List of full paths of command line options
cmdLine=./race.gpe

#Full absolute path to base directory for file explorer
baseDir=/mnt/sd/roms/ngp <--------------- roms folder

selectRectangle=1

#File filters
fileFilter=ngp
fileFilter=ngc

Am I missing something? The contents I have in the folder: Battery folder, BOMBERMAN.txt, fondo.png, gpl.txt, intro.wav, Numbers.bmp, race.gpe, raceScript.gpe, readme.txt, runme.ngp, selector, selectorRace.gpe, selectorRACE_config, selectorRACEOC.gpe, skin.jpeg, and splash.bmp.
 
juste delete "<--------------- roms folder" in your selectorRACEconfig ;) and make sure you have the directory "/mnt/sd/roms/ngp" on your SD card
 
I'm having difficulty getting this to run too. I have all the files mentioned in HungryWolf's post above (including fondo.png), and my config file is set up the same way too (minus the '<-------------------roms folder' bit), but I still get the error
***ERROR***
Error: No se pudo acceder al direct

Is there anything else that would cause the error?
 
Are you sure you have the things set up like mine? Same files/folders with same capitalization?

Not exactly the same folder for the skins (although my path is correct), but identical otherwise. I seem to be a bit cursed at the moment, as things seem to randomly not run for me :(

Yeah I was feeling the same way but now everthing's seeming to work fine.

I'm not sure what could be the problem, however I'm not a coder or programmer or anything. Maybe if you changed the skins folder?
