Winamp Emulation

[Burchman82]

Hi!

Anyone know a way i can get winamp to launch a mp3 through gameex? i have a stack of mp3+g (karaoke) files that i would love to add to the gameex menus. Winamp is the only prog i know of that will run these files.

I have found a small utility that will let me launch winamp from the command line. but when it runs via gameex, it instantly pops back into gameex, rather than letting winamp run its course.

any help would be awesome!!!

here is my current ini file for it

I think WinCDG adds mp3+g support to Windows Media Player. If so, that might enable GameEx to play them natively. Check it out, and let us know in this thread if it's possible.

Ok.

I found a free WMP plugin for karaoke files here

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...lease_id=251382

now i just gotta figure out how to have these run in fullscreen via gameex??

any idea headkaze???

Have you tried placing them in the video folder and playing them like a video file?
