Popful mail, anyone got it working on OpenEmu?

[sanjo]

Just got a mac and enjoying OpenEmu's interface more than retroarch.
Generally no problems but can't seem to get Popful Mail running.
Has anyone else been successful?

Yes, just tested it out with Popful Mail

Did ya follow the steps?

1. Click the rom file (ends in .rar) and use RAR extractor
2. Go into finder and search for the .cue file
3. Drag .cue file into openemu
4. Should load it up right away

and yup! I don't have trouble loading other pce-cd games like fatal fury special or art of fighting. but popful mail.. i'd load it and it'll say error. downloaded it from two different sites. maybe its the site?

Unfortunately I also got it off the same site and openemu is at the latest version.
When dropping the cue file inside, it simply doesn't detect it. when dropping the ISO inside, it detects it but says "cant load rom". maybe i'll try re-installing openemu.

I don't know anything about openemu, but open the cue file in notepad and make sure the filename is correct. Nine times out of ten if I can't get a bin/cue to work it's because of a bad cue file.

thanks! and you were right!

In another forum, some one sent me their working CUE, and it worked!
I still don't know why though. When I went through a text editor at his cue and mines, it was almost exactly the same except spacing.

in any case glad to get quick help here and glad I got this game working!

it is very interesting how different this, the sfc, and sega versions are!
I'm going through all three simultaneously
but finding the sega and pce versions more fun (with PCE being a little bit easier with its Ys style control and bigger map space), and the Sega having more complicated mechanics.
the SFC/SNES one has nice use of colors but some how the graphics aren't interesting (too washed out?) and my biggest problem is the stage design (boring and less exploration focused), and the hit detection. Good music though
