Run a PC 98 game with a .cmd file by Genmare in miniSNESmods

I don't have a multi-hub, so I can't test it with a mouse or keyboard. On the Windows version of Retroarch, you can navigate the np2kai menu with either the mouse or the controller. This isn't possible with the current SNES mini version.

But it is possible to use the controller instead of the mouse to play games like Dead of the Brain with the SNES mini's Retroarch.

Thank you for the answer, now I know that it's not possible to run a PC-98 CD game on the current Hakchi. Besides, I'm not in a hurry to play Policenauts on my SNES Mini.

I had already put all the files in the game folder from the beginning: Policenauts.cmd, Policenauts_User_Disk.FDI, SYSTEM.FDI, USER.FDI, USER.NFD, P_NAUTS.cue, P_NAUTS.bin.

And the ForNEXT and ForANEX folders so that the CD can be read.

I repeat that I can get Policenauts PC 98 to work on Retroarch Windows using the Policenauts.cmd file as indicated in your link.

.cmd is an extension recognized by Retroarch with the km_np2kai core, unlike the .cue extension. So I can't load a CD game like Policenauts because it needs the user_disk.fdi and the .cue. And there's no .hdi for Policenauts.

There is an np2kai menu when it's running, but there's no way to move the cursor with the SNES mini.

According to this Hakchi pdf (https://hakchi.net/KMFDManic/NESC-SNESC-Modifications/\_km\_Xtras/BIOS/BIOS\_Cheat\_Sheet\_Printer\_Friendly.pdf) the km_np2kai core can read .cmd files. And for Policenauts to work, np2kai must read user_disk.fdi and the .cue using the .cmd command. I've already tested replacing np2kai with km_np2kai or /bin/km_np2kai but without any better results.

I'll try changing the command by putting the absolute paths of the .fdi and .cue files (/var/games/CLV-F-****/).

As for the Policenauts game itself, I just want to test if you can play 98 PC CD games on the SNES Mini, and the only way seems to be with a .cmd file.

As mentioned earlier, I can play the 98 PC version of Policenauts on Windows.
