[RESOLVED] How to lanch PC98 roms

Hello:

I'm newbie here, I'm from Spain (sorry for my english).

How to launch PC98 roms? I've the BIOS files at np2kai folder and installed np2kai libretro core at Retroarch, but when I try to launch roms (zip format) a basic pc system is shown but the roms doesn't run.

Here's my es_system.cfg:

<system>
<name>pc98</name>
<fullname>PC 98</fullname>
<path>K:\Unidades compartidas\Roms\pc98</path>
<extension>.d98 .zip .98d .fdi .fdd .2hd .tfd .d88 .88d .hdm .xdf .dup .cmd .hdi .thd .nhd .hdd .hdn .ZIP .7z</extension>
<command>%HOME%\.emulationstation\systems\retroarch\retroarch.exe -L %HOME%\.emulationstation\systems\retroarch\cores\np2kai_libretro.dll "%ROM_RAW%"</command>
<platform>pc98</platform>
<theme>pc98</theme>
</system>

Any hekp with this? Thanks in advance

We only provide support for Retrobat who have had no changes.

Thanks for your reply.

And is there any way to launch PC98 roms using Retrobat directly without any change?

You have downloaded the pc-98 core ?

Yes. At Retroarch online updater NEC - PC-98 Neko Project II Kai.

It work fine for me, but you dont use the same command to use the Retroarch cores.

But there's no folder for PC98 to put my roms ther at Retrobat. Where to put them? And do I need to add something to Es_systems.cfg? What command to use?

I've found this comando for pc engine, but I've not found it for PC-98:

You are using, Retrobat 2.1
PC-98 is not supported by this version.
Try the Retrobat 3.0 beta

In the future I will not answer questions about a modified version of retrobat.

Ok , thank you very much, I´ll try it.
I'm using Retrobat 2.1 but I only added these lines to cfg to try by myself to run pc-98 roms. Sorry for that and I'll try 3.0 beta. Thanks again.

Well, just installed Retrobat 2.0, installed NEC - PC-98 Neko Project II Kai using Retroarch online updater, copied np2kai folder to bios folder. Copied some zip roms pc98 to roms folder. Then if I launch roms message "ailed to extract comrpesed file nameofgame.zip" and screen of basic and files (0 to 15). Tried with lots of them and no way. Downloaded from Neo Kobe Collection.

Ups, yes, 3.0 I mean... If I extract the zip files inside a folder with the name of the game and inside the foilder lots of folders with diefferent names and inside those foders some zips files. Using those files it opens now fine. Now, is there anyway to support gamepad controller for PC98 games (Xbox one controller working fine on the other systems)?

Thank you very much for your paciente and help.
