classicgamer74 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Does anyone here know how to get the Flintstones Typing Tutor to work on an emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 What kind of a problem are you having? Make sure you have the ECS enabled with the correct flag in the command line: -s1 After you launch the game, press F7 to enable the ECS keyboard mapping.

classicgamer74 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 It crashes on both emulators I use. Which do you recommend? jzintv usually is my go-to but it totally crashes when I try to start the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthompson Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 If you don't have the -s1 switch in the command line, jzIntv will crash when you launch Flintstones (or any game that requires the ECS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer74 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Can you tell me how I do the command line? I've never done that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthompson Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Are you using some kind of graphic interface, or are you typing a command to select the game ROM and launch the emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer74 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Nope. I just launch the emulator and choose the rom from the list by clicking on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 What do you have to do to launch the emulator (on your computer?)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer74 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 I just double-click on the exe file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer74 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 I get what you're saying. Here is a screenshot of the emulator and the command line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer74 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Sorry, wrong game. This is it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Perfect! The -s1 command is already present in the command line window, so that's not the problem. You probably don't have the "ecs.bin" file in the directory where jzIntv is located. You can find this file online. While you're at it, grab the "exec.bin" and "grom.bin" files and throw them in your jzIntv directory. The emulator comes with some generic versions that sidestep copyright issues, but you're better off with the genuine bios files. BTW, with access to the command line you can control other things about how the games display, but that's a subject for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicgamer74 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 One more question...how do you emulate the keyboard on this emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 When you get to the game’s title screen, press F7 to change the control mapping so you can use your keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendocon Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 The Flintstones' Keyboard Fun uses only the keyboard, but in case you're playing one of the other ECS games, pressing F5 switches back to standard controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
