NullDC Autoboot

[luriden]

How do I get NullDC to autoboot a game when clicking the game on Steam? I found this command line when doing some Google research:

[retroarch_DC]
location=C:\Emulators_and_Ice\Dreamcast\nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace.exe
command=%l -config nullDC_GUI:Fullscreen=1 %r

and I made the adjustments to NullDC's config file to autoload default image, but it crashes every time. Is this possible? I figured it was since there's even a DC category on consolegrid. Are there any other DC emulators that work properly with Ice if NullDC doesn't?

I can't figure it out either



edit: So I got it to work. However, it might be a little tedious if you have a lot of DC games.

In the NullDC config file make you have these settings:

Emulator.AutoStart=1
LoadDefaultImage=1

In Steam, you have to edit your Dreamcast game shortcut properties. Example for Jet Grind Radio:

-config ImageReader:DefaultImage="E:\Dreamcast\Jet Grind Radio.cdi"

Add the above line to "Target" in the properties.

@Blak Status: I think that would give you an Ice command of

%l -config nullDC_GUI:Fullscreen=1 -config ImageReader:DefaultImage=%r

Give that a try and see if that works.

Ok thanks... I'll try that later

edit: That works too

I can confirm this works. Need the nulldc.cfg edits made as mentoned by Blak Status... and the command line for ice from Meris works too.

Does anyone know a way to force NullDC to run at 1920x1080? I run triple screens, and it always wants to span across all 3 monitors. I can force the games to play at 4:3 to work normally, but would prefer if it limited it self to my middle monitor (when in full screen) like all the other emulators I work with do.

Thanks!

I did all of it, but I always get this error:
"Unhandled exeption while Initing Image Reader plugin by drk||Raziel & GiGaHeRz [Apr 11 2012] plugin". Am I doing something wrong?
