Need help setting up an emulator

[gigabyte77]

Hi All,

First of all, I think this is great software. I have a MCE and I am a total newb.

I have searched through a ton of pages on the forum and can't seem to find an answer. I am trying to set up Nestopia or any other NES/SNES emulator. I can get the emulator to run in the other games and programs section of GameEx, but I have seen screenshots that have the games listed out in the GameEx front end.

How do you set it up like that? If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help you can give.

You just set up Nestopia as an emulator instead of a program. Here are my settings: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?ac...findpost&p=7348

Thanks for the reply!

I had actually read your original post already and have already used your settings (modified with my paths of course). It's not showing up as an menu option. I assume that I should see a menu item that says "Nintendo NES", but it isn't there. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks so much for your help.

Just to double check...I should be editing this file "C:\Program Files\GameEx\Config\GameEx.ini" right?

Yes, thats the config file. The first setting under [Emulator_x] should be Enabled=True. Do you have that set?

If you have flat menus set to false then NES should show up under emulated games in GameEx. Perhaps you're not looking in the right place for it in GameEx (?). If you've followed headkaze's advice I'm not sure what could be wrong.

I got it to work finally. Thanks for all of your help!

I had originally tried to set Nestopia up as an External Program and that entry was still in the config. Once I remove that entry, the Emulated Games menu item showed up and it worked fine.

Thanks again!
