Please accept my humble apologies.

Flappy Birds for growded ups...

Fantastic and thanks, fella. I know what it's like - getting stacked up here with todo's!

Looking into this a bit more, I realise that that any app can snaffle stuff from the GameEx.ini, as long as you have the Emulator number. For this app I'm bashing together, I'm using the TITLETEXT key in the ini to store emulator names. Can you pass any vars from the ini? If so, in addition to the DATABASE key, the TITLETEXT key would also be useful! I don't know how much of a pain this is to code. I know it already passes the Emu number and any code could snaffle it via that, but the above keys plugged straight into the command line would make things a lot more easier.....

Now that's a nice touch... the penny's dropping here regarding the online functions! Manuals/reviews/cheats/special moves on your tablet whilst playing your rig. That's the way to do it!

Nice one fella, and see where you're going with that one. However, the problem will be with Emus that emulate more than one system (e.g. Demul - DC, Atomiswave and Naomi) It's no biggie tbh. I could just set the System parameter independently in each cmd line under Quicklaunch - e.g. "script.exe -g "[Gamename] -s "Playstation 2" However, the ability to pass the dbfile name would also be sweeet! I'm following this format for standardizing system names, but I do take your point about how some systems may not have associated db file (prob leaving the above manual method as necessary). Even sweeter if you could make available a cmd line var ([DBName] ?): "Sony PlayStation 2" rather than: "[Console] Sony PlayStation 2" or maybe the two? [DBName_full] and [DBName_short] thanks again.

60 Classic Video Game Tracks for your GameEx Jukebox
stigzler replied to Lighty's topic in GameEx Media Projects
Did a few C90s full of C64 music as a kid - called them "Game Musix" (very 80s!). Held a portable tape recorder against my tv speaker.... Still love Rob Hubbard tunes to this day. -
Hmmm,,, it may.. I'm just wondering.... What I'm looking for is for a consistent system name to be passed from GameEx to a script following launch from the emulator section. Thinking Quicklaunch is the best tool to achieve this as inherently linked to each emulator. Problem being, in each emulator's settings - there appears to be no key/value pair specifically for the system. Now...when you say the .ini - do you mean the GameEx ini? If so, examining this, the only way I can think of accessing this is via the db name. I'm guessing all systems are covered in the db files and it appears as though the system name appears in these consistently. Would have the benefit of keeping system names consistant across users, rather than using free-text of 'emulator name' Extract of gameex.ini and e.g. of db below... emu_1lastromfilter=*.*emu_1_dbcachemodified=23/09/2013 15:01:24emu_1_lastnumgames=17emu_1_dbcachelastname=[Console] Sony PlayStationemu_1_dbcacheinicreated51=Trueemu_1_enabled=Trueemu_1_startpagename=PCSX GamesSo - guessing if you can snag from this ini, this may be possible? i.e. passing the db name or deriving the system name from this? Gawd... I'm always causing trouble!
-
Thanks. Guess I could include the system name in the emu title and extract it later, or setup a cross-ref table. Was really for emus where they are used for multiple systems (e.g. Demul or Dolphin).

Great update and just returning to this. One question, Adultery. Looking at the list of variables that can be passed, I can see loads of useful ones. However, I can't see one for the "system" - only a "system biography." Also looked int he wiki: http://www.gameex.info/wiki/index.php/PlugIn_Development:GameEx_Event_CommandLine_Function Is there no way to access which system an emulator is for? I'm presuming this is derived from the Database setting in the Emulator setup menu? Needed for another quick project....

One approach is to create a folder of shortcuts to your game .exe's. Right click on the exe, select 'create shortcut' then put that in a 'PC shortcuts' folder. Then add a new emulator (from scratch, not using any presets) and choose the shortcut folder as the rom directory. This should then boot the games. Off the top of my head...

60 Classic Video Game Tracks for your GameEx Jukebox

Great idea and good share, Lighty - great to see another bod passionate about and putting back into the hobby. -
Seimitsu LS-56. Schmups. That's what the past two years have been about.... ahhhhh
-
Congrats, gstav. wtg.
-
Quite a few links via google - try one sent to you pm.
-
Try adulterys GameInfo plugin. Shows game info, including custom controls for emulator/game
-
Search Pakkiso.

Great job, tthurman. However - not seeing that folder in the dropbox shared folder... Will come back to later as I need to re-arrange all the folder structures, I'm thinking. Will revisit in time.
-
Stick with it lightly. Some things in this game are infuriating, pedantic and nit-picky. However, most can be overcome. Sometimes it's good to walk away for a day or two... although I know what it's like... "I WILL make this work!" In 10 years time, when MGS becomes as retro as Space Invaders - the next generation will be thanking you!
-
Good plan - will sort the DB issues in time.

OK. Done. Thanks for the list, flash. The plain txt file works best for integrating into the spreadsheet. The "Whoa - that's gonna be a tough one" award goes to: Aleph Publicações e Assessoria Pedagógica Ltda. And the sad "goodbye old friend, yer gonna be missed": Gremlin (The developer of the ole classic Thing on a Spring) Not sure about where to put updates, tthurman. I'm not sure what you can see in your dropbox folder. I've created a sub-folder called Updates and one in that Dec 2014. However, if I recall correctly, I don't think dropbox allows sub-folders for shared folders. Can't get me head round it tonight. Good scores on those ones you've found - good size n nice and clear Will revisit at some point.

Ooops. Will update this weekend. Life stuff going on...
-
No worries + apologies - it is very Beta at the moment. Will do anything I can to help, though.

Sorry its not working out the box for you. You dont need to move or unzip your zipped roms. As long as your full set are all in one folder somewhere. I need to sort the documentation to be simpler. Basically, run emvoy and it should prompt you to set up your emulator profiles (basically telling emvoy where your emulaors are) and then your boot profiles (where your roms are and other stuff explained by the wizard). If you continue to struggle post the log file in the emvoy> logs folder. And ill take a look.

To stay on topic - I was having similar difficulties, so knocked something together to solve it. Then, in good faith to help out others who may be experiencing difficulties with their setups and to contribute to the community, I spent several weeks trying to (admittedly) polish it so it may be useful to others. I'm not a programmer by trade, so don't expect the world, but shared it open to feedback to try and address any bugs, a position that still stands. Anyways up to you, hoping it may be useful: https://emvoy.codeplex.com/ Admittedly, I maybe did take this off topic, and thus will restrict any comments to the appropriate thread.
how does the stick hold up? What's the deadzone like? ie if you sneeze does it move? And is there any free movement in it's neutral position? I hate that! I don't want to move a stick 5mm before it reacts, know what i mean?
