You guys get all the best chocolate bars. Best we get here is a finger of fudge.... Both utterly uninspiring and the worst marketing name ever (if yer a bloke).

Happy birfdee. Great contributor to the scene.

Big many happy returns to the Pointer! Have a good one, chap.

Whoa - the prophesy came to light then...

Thanks for the link. It hurt me head Good info for the future, though. Wondering whether it would speed things up in large nested iterative batch processes? Oh, and why on earth did I persist with batch for so long? After this project's finished, I'm filing for amicable divorce and running off with VisBas.

Hmm... so much to learn. Errmm... does it (own thread) make stuff faster?

Cool ta - so a bit like "launch before" and "launch alongside"?

Thanks for this great plugin, A. On an aside, what do "Wait for process" and "Launch Process on a Thread" do?

Damn - missed it. Did anything happen?

Any chance of an option? Might be good to be able to choose just a normal text replace ('?) or straight strip, given that it's passing parameters to unknown receivers? Besides, batch aint gonna like html

Nicely done. That did it

On the crashes when passing game bio's: I'm thinking it's that some bio's contain quotes: ...the latter appearing to mess up the passed command line. Is there anyway to replace these before passing?

Very nice clean cab. its huge! I've got two aimtraks up and running fine with mame. think I had to use something called controller remap , search byoac. Also some specific drivers for some systems. Can't remember details but some on my site via link below...

Doh! Oh yeah... that fixed it thanks.

Hmm... I think the latest GameEx update may have effected this plugin. Updated, and ran tonight - some tags not getting populated: [game], [database], [snap], [title] These were working prior to update... Other are still working though: Shame that, was just getting excited as got everything up and running together and getting into final testing/polishing on me fingy.... Is it fixable, Mr A? Might this happen every update?

Ah.. many happy returns to a couple of active and present members...

Apologies. Further investigation reveals that it is indeed which db version GameEx is choosing. These tags work with other games.

Feel like I'm pestering you on this plugin, Adultery! However, I'm hitting it hard at the moment! Having an issue with [Developer], [Catagory] and [Year] passing nulls. Game name and others being passed OK. Now, I'm not sure if this is the database. From having a look at the db3 file, there's lots of entries for test game, Wipeout 3, some with, some without the aforementioned tags. Can't figure how to know which db entry GE is using. so, might not be the plugin... :/

Ta. Yeah - looks like it's in the GE ini. Still a mystery though, as emu 1 has S capitalised, emu 2 not. Anyways, case insensative matching solved it, so not gonna sweat over this one. As for the second thing - it's no biggie. Just leaving game/sys bios out for now.

Hmm... apologies feel like I'm pestering you on this plugin, but thingy I'm working on is heavily dependent on it Concerning the [Database] tag. Weird issue with case. The filename in C:\GameEx\DATA\EMULATORS, say for PlayStation is: [Console] Sony PlayStation.db3 The Name field in the actual db3 is: Sony PlayStation However, when I use the [Database] tag, it gets passed as: [Console] Sony Playstation you'll notice the lower case "s" - I know it sounds pedantic, but using a systems map which is case sensitive (which may be a b***er to recode) - just wondering what's going on with that and whether possible to preserve case of the original db3 info? Ignore - batch surprised me and made case insensativity actually quite easy. Still curious though...

Whoa. Now that's hardcore! Would love to see some pics once up n running.

Whoa. 10 years! I'd love to know what it looked like back then. Maybe in another 10, retro gaming will be as commonplace as CD + Film collections. And given impending releases, confident that GameEx will be at the fore. Nice one Jedah. Have a peanut for me.

That's gonna be a beast to play - following with interest.
