It seems after some investigation that there were a number of bugs... I just made a new version (v20041113) of QEMUMenu available at my site http://stacktrace.org/ Fixed: * -L parameter had a trailing slash, which caused QEMU to fail silently * -L parameter was not quoted meaning default location in \Program files\ would not be passed as a single parameter, so QEMU would fail * Preferences were not being retrieved correctly because working directory was being changed .bat file location after preferences were retrieved but before they were saved Enhancements: * Added search for *.dat as additional image files so QEMUMenu picks up Zitu's make-a-file program images Drop it into C:\Program Files\Qemu (or where ever you installed to) Let me know if that fixes everything up...
