Adding Systems Supported by MESS but Not listed by GameEx

[murve33]

Heya. Just started using GameEx today, and it's pretty brilliant. It's exactly what I've been looking for in a front-end (and buddy have I tried a lot of front-ends).

My issue is that I want to be able to run the Epoch Super Cassette Vision in GameEx, but when I'm configuring emulators, I don't see any support for it. Since GameEx seems to be able to run MESS no problem, I'd assume there's a way to add support for it myself.

On a related note, I'd also like to run several systems (Intellivision, Master System, Odyssey 2, Lynx, etc.) through MESS, but I don't see an option for that while configuring.

Any solutions?

Hi and welcome to the forum! If you don't see an emulator for a particular system, it doesn't mean that GameEx will not support it, On the contrary, if the emulator you choose supports a command line, it will pretty much run in GameEx. You just have to point GameEx to the correct paths for your media and ensure you are running the correct command line for the ROM paths.

You might want to review the submissions here to start and a various other posts within the thread.

Edit: Nevermind

Thanks for your help. I have everything working now (though it looks pretty messy).

I'm not sure what you mean by messy. Was it a pun? You can use custom menus to make it look like you want. Perhaps all mess systems under a sub menu of Mess?
