Pretty cool program. Some small problems I spotted however:
  • MIDI Playback doesn't work, so older games will have no music at all during normal play.
  • Japanese filenames doesn't seem to work. Either that or the script fucked up somewhere.
  • Nymphomania Priestess VXA Version tries to look for a 'kernel32' file which doesn't exist and then spits out an error.
Other than that, I'm pleased with how simple it is launching games through this thing. Cheers!

Thanks for using the program! Unfortunately all of these problems come from mkxp-z, which I do not maintain. I recall seeing a similar issue here:

I might look into this when I have time but I'm kinda bad at C and C++ so no guarantees. Your best shot is creating an issue on the mkxp-z github repo or asking on their discord:

Good Luck!

Edit: I can probably fix the midi problems though, seems I just need to supply a library. This will be part of release 2.2. If you have a game I can test with feel free to post it in a reply.

Cheers for the quick response! I figured those last two problems were on the mkxp end, was worth a shot bringing those issues up anyways.

Legend of Queen Opala is what I used to test the MIDI functionality. Also worth noting is that the mkxp-z github readme links to an sf2 MIDI soundfont already, though it'd be better to add a little button to the launcher to select your own soundfont as well (or maybe an easy way to edit the mkxp.conf file? I dunno how the mac version handles its config file) in case the end user wants to tweak things to their liking.

Issue running a game that is able to run through Wine. Odd that it runs through that, but not this program
link to game?
Edit: nvm, the game is trying to load certain windows API's that mkxp-z cant natively handle.
