Race! Problems

[Blah]

I've tried two roms and neither of them work. It just plays the intro sound and goes back to the menu.

The roms I tried were:

Sonic the Hedgehog - Pocket Adventure
Rockman Battle & Fighters [T-English_0.10]

I also tried a few larger ones, all I could get working was Pocket Reversi.

works fine here. I set it up to use GMenu as the selector.

I used to only be able to run a few games but then I read on this forum somewhere that the roms cannot have names longer than 20 characters.

All my games work now that I renamed them. Try that. It sounded wierd to me but it worked in my case.

It works fine. Your file names are too long, just shorten them up. This seems to be a long standing issue with RACE.

Thanks, that was the problem.

@Purple Goat: I'm tired so RTFM.

Thanks, that was the problem.

Good deal.

my only problem with race is that it doesnt seem to be able to save anything from that weird game with all the minigames sort of like warioware. i think the name had ganbare somewhere in there. its all in japanese but it mostly doesnt matter except i can't tell if im going to the save screen properly. but even following directions how to save i can't seem to start off where i was thus making the game very boring since you have to wait for all the minigames to be built.

Hi, I cant get this emu started at all. I'm running FW2.1.0
I copied the Race folder onto my SD root, when I try running the program I get the following results "Error: Cannot access to directory."
(I've tried running is by itself as well as using gmenu2x to load it with a rom (renamed to make filename smaller)).
I've tried copying the files across several times incase there was an error in the transfer.
The readme doesn't give much advice for running the app, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to include a bios anywhere.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Do you have your ROMs on your SD card as /roms/ngpc/ ?
Have you edited the config file? If so then chances are windows has "touched" the file leaving stray ASCII characters in there "corrupting" it. Use the free editing tool called "jedit" to change the config and you should be fine if thats the case.

EDIT: Added link: www.jedit.org

Sorry for the late reply but...
Create a link for it in GMenu2X

Important note IIRC there is a small gpe file that points to the main program. I deleted this and renamed the program to "race.gpe" You must make sure you point to the program and not the script for this to work.

Thanks Yorper! It was that I didn't have the correct rom directory (I dont think it was in the readme). This emu is brilliant, I dug up my ngp (which I only had one game for) recently was was exteremly dissapointed to realise it wasn't backlit and was nearly impossible to see what was happening. This is perfect, now I can see the wonderful colours
