1030b doens't see vbam.ini in own folder

Post by The Hero of Time »

The problem with mine was that it completely ignored any configuration settings in its local directory, and only wrote to AppData. Nothing could change that, regardless of how many instances were open. It also causes linking issues, since it always thinks there's two instances open. That's what I meant by being "fucked." Poor word choice, I suppose.

 

I'll compile the latest revision when Adam updates the linking, and see if it helps. Thanks for helping out.

 

FWIW, 1030b made some headway on connecting with Dolphin-emu for Final Fantasy - Crystal Chronicles. Unfortunately, Dolphin is a raging piece of unstable shitware right now, and it's hard to test.

Gosh, this Adamn guy sure sounds like a hard character to come by.

 

With any luck, he/she/it will clean up after its messes. Heh, but most people are known to not be able to do that anyway.

 

Also I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it was just because each subsequent instance of the VBA-M process tried to access the INI file, locked from write-access by the first.

You're sure the INI file in the emulator directory is named VBAM.INI, though, right? Not VBA.INI? Just making sure.
