In the Escape Menu, under the 'Audio' tab, there is checkbox for enabling menu sounds. Does this feature work? I haven't been able to get it working. Does OpenAl have to be installed somewhere for it to work?
I'm assuming no because there is the option to pick no audio driver?
the only reason im keeping the eu version of that game is for the progress in the game i got it fixxed by removing the db of romshelf already had subfolder disabled in config but it kept checking sub folder after removing the db and letting it search again for roms it got fixxed im keeping the us version in subfolder so can swap it when my father is done with the game thx for answering tough and thx for the work you've put in this frontend
If the euro version is the only version available it should use it. Romshelf can't move files around so just double check that you're looking at the right folder. Romshelf can scan subfolders however, so don't just move the US version to a subfolder of your rom folder.
Seriously though, you should use the US version since it runs at 60hz where the Euro version will be 50hz.
last night i found this frontend and i like it so far the only problem i got atm is that i generated a snes rom list but it decided to choose mario world 2 us version my father was playing on a europe version. when i remove the us version from rom folder and regenerate in romshelf it adds the us version in rom folder again is there anyway i can make romshelf use the eu rom ?
i love reading negative "reviews" for bl on steam and laughing because badspot's already got a pile of cash from the steamsplosion of sales, not to mention he's managed to keep the game going for more than a decade
Thinking back on this video now, they are ripping on the game for all these little things. Nowadays we have the millions of indie games releasing before they are finished with the same issues, and everyone takes them for granted. Kind of sad, really. I love Blockland, but yes that was an incomplete version they played. They were being whiny for an unfinished game, but they were acknowledging it was unfinished and not totally accepting of investing in that. Now... "Yeah, I know it's incomplete, but whatever here's money." And this was FREE. D:
>I can't figure out how to open the romshelf console
Make shortcut to romshelf (if you haven't already); right click shortcut -> properties; add "-console" (without the quotes) to the "target" field right after romshelf.exe; ok; run shortcut; press ~ to open console.
>ps1, ps2 and saturn emulators won't open the games
The launch command depends entirely on what emulator you're using. You'll have to look at the docs to figure out how to load a game from the command line.
>when i exit project 64 using the exit emulator key it doesnt save my progress
The emulator exit key just kills the emulator task - just like hitting alt+F4. So anything that isn't saved already will be lost. If you've already saved to an emulated memory card before exiting, then yeah there is some config problem within project 64.
I would like to add the Sega Dreamcast to my list but I can't figure out how to open the romshelf console. I read the above instructions but have gotten nowhere. I'm running Windows vista ultimate 64 bit. also I've noticed that my ps1, ps2 and saturn emulators won't open the games. I've tried the "[ROMFILE]" parameter with no avail. All of my cartridge game emulators work like a charm. one last question, when i exit project 64 using the exit emulator key it doesnt save my progress, is this an issue with project 64?
For an online game about building this has a really hostile playerbase. Can't any of you kids get along for at least 5 minutes without lashing out against each other?
Does anyone know how to get DOS games to work with Romshelf. I have Windows XP so I don't need Dosbox to run the Games since XP has compatibility mode for DOS. But I can't seem to get it to work with or without DOSBOX.
I want to have the satisfaction of bumping an 8 y/o comic

Blockland was a interesting game, but I think badspot should move on and create better games, it's obvious that this game has effected him in some negative way.
I just switched TVs on my HTPC and now romshelf not fitting to the screen correctly. the left side of my screen is cut off and makes it hard to read the names of the games. any thoughts on how i might fix that? thanks!
Amazing job, Badspot. I really love the game. Quick question, Badspot, if you would answer it, If I Blockland on Steam, would it be a demo? I've heard people say it is, but i'm not sure. Please respond. :D
after the Okiver Scare and the Zapk Fiasco,(which just pushed the lacking of quality servers point over the edge) I'm starting to lose interest in this game, and unless there is a HUGE change in the community (something beyond badspot's control i assume) It's just going to push me away, which is unfortunate as i do like this game, but like all good games (or anything that has a following for that matter), communities tend to take it too far...
Even simply appearing angry all the time is enough to turn people away from buying your game. Stop being so hostile or people will think you are trying to be a dick, even if it's not the case.
"Get fucked. I don't owe you anything."
You can't seriously give this as a ban reason and not look like a dick to people. It's 100% true that only emotionless automatons are valued online.
You don't want to give emotion. You want to state why the opponent is wrong and why you are right. Doing anything else gives room for the opponent to interpret you as the bad guy.

Blockland is the all-you-can-eat buffet where you have to make your own food. At least, you are given the materials, so it's not bad at all. But then they decide to remove tables because they are ugly and replace it with pretty napkins and garnishes.
Why do you need tables when you can just make them out of food? It's the same thing.
After this, the "buffet" has been around for several years and people were already getting tired of it, so they start giving it negative reviews. The owner responds by yelling at these people.
All this yelling leaves little time for content upgrades.
I've used romshelf for a little while now with no issue. .. Then the other day instead of opening into the system selection screen, it opens the options menu like it's the first time is ever run... But there are no systems available to select and the input control options have all been wiped. Help!
I have to agree with Gamer.Ex, it that I don't consider EvE a game, and that changes how one views and uses it. I'm no EvE fan boy, coming and going over the years, but I have found ways to enjoy it. It most circumstances, it's been doing so with others w/VOIP. Can't say I've ever had much fun by myself. Even though it can be manic (bouts of extreme adrenalin only matched by periods of boredom), there's always SOME WAY to SIMULATE something. If I want to be a bad guy, I can be, if I want to manipulate markets, I can...If I want to try corporate espianage, I can... If I just want to pew pew NPCs, I can... If I just want to auto-mine 'roids while reading a book, I can... and sadly, if I'm an infantile who gets off robbing/griefing/annoying people of their hard earned ships and isk, I also can. I've lived in high-sec, null-sec, and class 6 wormholes... there is pros & cons to all. It's what you make of it, because EvE's devs sure as hell aren't going to simple give you prepackaged fun.
