Emulation Station on windows

[Xabiman Orquesta Calle Ma]

Hello, I'm newbie at this forum, I'm Xabi from Spain (sorry for my english)

I'm trying to lauch openbor games using Emulation Station on Windows but not working. I've used this code at es_systems.cfg:

<system>
<name>openbor</name>
<fullname>Open Beats Rage</fullname>
<path>D:\MyRoms\Roms\openbor</path>
<extension>.pak .PAK</extension>
<command>%HOME%\.emulationstation\systems\openbor\OpenBor.exe "%ROM_RAW%"</command>
<platform>openbor</platform>
<theme>openbor</theme>
</system>

Then when I select the game at EmulationStation, OpenBor exe is open but no game loaded.

What's wrong with this?

Thanks in advance.

Which version of OpenBOR did you install? 3xxx or 6xxx? The games may not be loading due to incompatibility with the OpenBOR build. Later builds added new commands and scripts that would render a game, using said new commands, unplayable on builds that don't support it.

Just do the thing one at a time, for example i have the heman demo as heman.exe & it has a custom icon too,
Nighslahsers x has a custom icon & "custom" .exe (just rename openbor to gamename.exe

heman is in c:00 heman/ heman.exe
simpsons c:00 simpsons/simpsons .exe

try that & see if it works out...

Thanks for your replies. I've found a solution in a portable pack of EmulationStation that uses an exe called OpenborLauncher.exe to launch openbor roms. I put it at the same folder of Openbor.exe and the rest of the files of the latest release of openbor and I use it instead of openbor.exe to launch the roms and it works fine.
