Here's a pack for 100% working emulators for windows. I have personally tested each of these and gotten them to work with no extraneous configuration required.

This contains emulators for NES, SNES, Atari 7800, MAME, and NES 64.

Please note, this does not contain any games...just the programs to emulate them. If you have tested, working emulators for other systems or operating systems, please, help out and post them here.

Any plugin recommendation to use them with?

Thanks by the way :)

I should have specified that these are all 100% launcher compatible. As far as the internal emu plugins, none should be needed. :D

Yes, I was talking about XBMC plugins...

I read some chatter that says mame32 or mameplus could work on vista FS.

It was working for me in full screen with vista32 with an older build. But it kept crashing my EventGhost and, in turn, disabling my joypads. Haven't tried it with any build in the last 3ish months. I will look at it next weekend and report back.

EDIT: Just looked at it next weekend and I am back from the future. Tried the snes9x emulator and it works fine in full screen after setting it to full screen once. I have vista32 and didn't change any settings. Running Rev18627-jester.

It's gotta be something to do with your video drivers or maybe just the hardware. That's the only explanation I can think of...

Ah...hopefully you're right. I'll try getting some new drivers and maybe swapping video cards with the other pc. I'll report back. thanks digitalhigh

I've got my SNES, NES and Genesis emulators working fine with the launcher plugin and eventghost.

As for the N64 emulator (Project 4 1.7.0.55), it says "Failed to open Rom" every time I launch a game from within the launcher plugin (using version 1.03). But when I go to launch a game from within the emulator itself, it works fine. I've tried all three of the .exe's from the Project64 install directory (Project4 v1.6, Project64, Project64k).

Is there some argument I need to launch the emulator with, or some plugin I need to use for the video settings within Project64?

Those of you that have the N64 emulator working from the launcher plugin - did you have to change any settings?

The only N64 emu that I found works with Launcher's command line is Project64, ver 1.7.0.49. Something about the way it handles the quotation marks around the rom name.

This version was very hard to find for me, as I believe they were charging for it. If you can't locate it, PM me, and I can probably help you find it. ;)

Thanks so much digitalhigh. Worked like a charm...not sure how you figured that one out, but great job haha.

Has anyone had any luck with mapping gamepad/joystick buttons for save/load/reset/FFW/rewind with all of these emluators?

Some of the emulators don't have built-in hotkey support for the save/load/reset/FFW/rewind. I've tried using EventGhost to just use keyboard emulation when a joystick button is pressed. It works at first, but it inevitably crashes my EventGhost after around 10-30 presses.

Anyone have this problem and/or solution? Anyone have a different approach? Maybe with a different program?

Note: I am currently using an XBOX1 gamepad connected through USB with the XBCD drivers if that's of any relevancy.

Get Xpadder. It's designed specifically for the XBOX1 gamepad. You can map keyboard buttons directly to the buttons, as well as mouse inputs and macros and stuff. The only problem with this method is that you would need to have some way of telling the computer to run xpadder only when the emus are on, else you'll always be getting weird inputs in XBMC (unless you map them to the F# keys?).

thanks digitalhigh. I was able to get the save/load working with everything.

Still trying to get it to work smoothly with all of the emulators and xbmc through eventghost. Since SNES uses R and L and genesis uses white/black (on XBOX1 controller), it would be nice to switch which buttons are turbo for each emulator

Is there maybe a config file or something you can manually edit to get it to work right?
