Game Ex Folders

[Guest barryconstant]

Hi,

First off, Game EX is the best! Great job!

I have a handle on the catver, but wanted to understand how to do a couple of things if possible:

On the main menu, where "Available MAME Games, NEO GEO, etc.. are listed", I would prefer to be able to add my own categories.

I'd like the main page to be the launch point for:

1) All MAME Games

2) NEO GEO

3) Favorites

4) Classics, etc..

If this is not possible, can I add to the second screen, like the By Name, By Category, etc..?

Thanks,

Barry

You can do custom folders for a 'classics' folder (using a 'other emulator' slot), but it's probably not exactly what you're after - there'd be no second info page for 'classics' - you can do multiple emulators in one menu however. It's a fair bit of work to set up though for the method I used, which is creating a bat file for each game.

As far as i could figure out, all the preset menus can be turned off except 'All Mame Games', 'Favourites', and 'Multiplayer', so you could get want you want (with those 4 sections you mentioned), but with Multiplayer still showing.

check out this thread: "Custom Folders?"

just to update to what I said at that thread, the mame games do work this way.

Tom also mentioned to me to check out AutoIT which is great for scripts for automatic stuff and more (http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=100 towrds bottom of thread), and though I haven't tried for doing this, I reckon you could get around what I mentioned with emulators that need 'send keys' options not working with bat files, by using AutoIT scripts instead of bat files, or along with the bat files for sending the keys.
