Trying to setup RL with PowerISO (VCD can't read cue) correctly

Hello,

This is my first post, so don't blame me if I'm doing anything wrong. I'm trying to setup RL to work with emulators which needs to load a virtual drive correctly, for example, Sega Saturn. I have the correct paths on RocketLauncherUI, however I can't make it work with PowerISO (I have tried with VCD but I discovered that VCD can't load cue files).

Here is a piece of my log file
Code:

and here is my system specs:

I've read the wiki where it says to create a drive and assign the correct letter, and I did it (H:\). So, what I may be missing?

Thanks!

I may be wrong, but maybe poweriso doesn't support CLI (command line interface). In any event, I would stick to dtlite since RL supports it.

I don't have it installed anymore but I was able to get it working just fine. You might want to turn on troubleshooting log and check the log again, there will be some additional lines you might need with more info.

Probably I'll need to give a try with DT again, but I hate it after they turned the software in a big bloatware :/

You'll need to open a DOS command window and type:
piso.exe mount "E:\HyperSpin\HyperSpin\Emulators\Sega Saturn\SSF_012_beta_R2\roms\Daytona USA - Championship Circuit Edition v1.001 (1996)(Sega Sports)(NTSC)(US)[!][SATURN81213 P1H].cue" H:"

Then see what error it returns. Do you have a virtual drive created in PowerISO already?

Click to expand...

Yes, I did enabled one virtual drive and set the letter to H before running rlauncher. The PowerISO CLI doesn't report anything besides
Code: 
PowerISO Version 6.4 Copyright(C) 2004-2015 Power Software Ltd

            Type piso -? for help

Mount failed.

I tried to set back to Daemon Tools Lite, and now I have the following log: http://pastebin.com/ZkG7Enwn

It just displays a message window: ?????????????CD??? and sometimes it tries to open the game (black fullscreen) but after it closes (before displays anything).

EDIT:
Running the command to mount command (C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTAgent.exe -mount scsi, H, "E:\HyperSpin\HyperSpin\Emulators\Sega Saturn\SSF_012_beta_R2\roms\Command & Conquer v1.000 (1996)(Virgin)(PAL)(Disc 1 of 2)[!][GDI].cue") and running the SSF (E:\HyperSpin\HyperSpin\Emulators\Sega Saturn\SSF_012_beta_R2\SSF.exe) manually (via cmd) the games run properly.

Sorry for my english.

the Log says your .cue file is invalid. Also whats with that naming on the rom? I personally would remove any [ or ] from your rom name as suggested by RL.
Code: 
15:59:00:566 | RL |  WARNING  | +0     | Please make sure your Database Name (Rom Name) does not contain the special characters [ or ] as these are used to denote sections in RocketLauncher's INI Files: Daytona USA - Championship Circuit Edition v1.001 (1996)(Sega Sports)(NTSC)(US)[!][SATURN81213 P1H]

Have you tried to mount and play the above mentioned game manually?
