PCSX2Bonus - A PCSX2 launcher / frontend

[Bositman]

Gvaz: Do you need to make a GS dump for debugging? Else just leave the option alone

[Gvaz]

The point was I can't start it because it says to choose a dump on the GSDx gui menu that comes up because of this launcher...

Hey, this is a very useful and cosmetically pleasing frontend that you've created for PCSX2. However, I'm having a rather annoying issue with it.

On the first launch everything works fine and I set the directory paths for PCSX2. After completing this step, I am able to use the application and setup my games. Everything seems to be working great, so I exit the PCSX2Bonus and then relaunch it, and this is where the problem is. Every time I launch PCSX2Bonus after the initial setup I get this .NET error



and none of my games or settings appear. The only way to use the application is to delete the PCSX2Bonus.settings file from AppData\Roaming\PCSX2Bonus and set the paths again upon every launch. I'm on Windows 7 x64 and have .NET Framework 1.1 and 4.0 installed. Any assistance you could provide me with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know about the error

At a glance it seems one of the settings values is null when the program is attempting to get / set it and thus throwing the exception. If you could provide me with a copy of your settings file as it is when the error occurs I'll take a look at it to figure out whats going on so we can get this corrected

Thanks for the quick reply

Here is the settings file.

[Bositman]

Cheats on/off doesn't seem to save on custom configs or get applied. Using 1.0.0.78

Thanks for bringing that up, should be fixed in .79

Thanks for the quick reply

Here is the settings file.

After looking at your settings file the only thing I could surmise was that the machine id node that is appended to the settings file wasn't being flagged as created (since it was created about 250~ times in that file )

I've removed the need to use that node altogether in the latest build which should -hopefully- fix your issue (don't worry if it doesn't, just let me know and I'll keep investigating )

Nice works Onto the next one

Clicking configure for the GSdx HW hacks brings this error box: (couldn't replicate 100% so it should have some trigger)
Input string was not in a correct format.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

When I pick an memory card for a game sometimes it comes up saying can not find memory card and shows only 1 when I look in pcsx2 memory cards, also sometimes when it picks the right card and the game starts checking for the save it says card needs to be format.

Cool frontend, nice job man.

Almost all my games are detected but some of them get an error and cannot be added to the library. Attached screenie of the error.

Also Ar Tonelico 1's image is the wrong one it is the one of Ar Tonelico 2.

Hope you can fix this. Good Luck .
