[RESOLVED] Pc Game menu / launcher

[Venomouse]

So I got creative (possibly retarded) and Decided, hey...I know how to get a list of pc games and a menu easily.

My theory

Create a directory with shortcuts to the games you want,

Set that as the emulator and rom path for a new emulator.

Name snap files same as the shortcuts.

So far that all worked, Gave me a menu

PC Games, then listed the shortcuts.

ie

Street fighter IV Arcade

Street Fighter X Tekken etc..

Now Problem is they dont launch.

when I had ssfIV alone i had the rom command as ssfiv.exe and had it pointed at the install dir.

so im wondering...in the command box...ie what to send to emaulator to run I tried [rom]

Which should technically run the shortcut given its the same name..but nope

anyways...is this stupid or is there an easier way without having to manually edit ini files etc?

cheers

If you're using .lnk files (Windows shortcuts) the path is:

CmdLine=""[RomPath]\[RomFile]""

Works great on my machine this way.

Wow, you mean I almost worked something out by myself

Let's not get carried away now! Lol!

There's an importable config for PC games that use the .lnk method.

It is refreshing to see folks try instead of just asking though!
