 Posted: Tue May 23, 2006 8:04 am Post subject: Associating .pce files with Magic Engine |
 |
|
| I have associated my .pce files(TG16 roms) with Magic Engine so that I can just double-click on a rom file and it will start. The problem is, when I double-click on a rom file, it opens in the demo version of Magic Engine even though I have the full version. If I open Magic Engine alone and then open the rom, it's the full version and it works perfectly, but if I double click on the rom, it opens in demo version. Why is this happening? |

Probably because of how paths work in Windows; when you double-click an associated file, the current path is set to wherever the file is that you doubleclicked. Magic Engine probably looks for the keyfile in the current path instead of looking at its own directory (common coding mistake, since most apps are expected to start from their own directory). Try testing this by copying the keyfile into the same directory as the rom you're trying to run...it will likely work as expected.
