zabrin Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Sorry if this question was asked before....I was curious if it was possible or even a way to have games from different systems in one list. So instead of having Atari 2600 and the like, having a list comprised of Final Fantasy games.So my list would look like this...MameAtari 2600NesSnesectectFinal FantasyThanks..Z.

Draco1962 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Likely you would have to setup an emulator slot for each system being emulated with a path to your ROMs and other assets for the specific game collection, then link them all together by adding them to an emulator group. That is one of the easier ways to do it. I am sure that you could do something using map files, but don't hold me to that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabrin Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I just started to play around with emulator groups...So if I understand you correctly, I have to create a new setup for each emulator with roms and assets. Basically creating new directories for the custom list. So right now I have this..c:\emulators\nesSo I would have to make this...(existing) c:\emulators\nes(existing) c:\emulators\snes(added) c:\emulators\nesFF(added) c:\emulators\snesFFWhile creating duplicate assets for the new custom list.

Draco1962 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 That is what I am suggesting. You should still be able to point to your still/video snaps in their main path. The main thing in what i am suggesting is separating the ROMs (copying them into their own folder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabrin Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ok, I got ya...I will have to give this a go tomorrow, I can't concentrate very well watching the red wings game. I will give this a go and come back with my results. Thanks Draco for the help!!!!!!Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Any time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabrin Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 I have it up and running!!!!What I had to do is create a new emulator(selection) for each system. Point it to the existing emulator in its install folder. Duplicate emulators are not necessary.Then I copied the roms from my console rom folders to a folder "final fantasy". That way I still have complete sets in my normal EMU's. I set the roms up like this....Final Fantasy nes snes gb gba gamecube wii psp psx ps2Obviously with the appropriate roms in the correct folder.Then created a group with the new emulator selections and it worked like a charm.Thanks Draco, you made this real easy for me!!!!Z. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 You made it easy for me as well! Glad it is working as expected and that you understood my brief instructions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabrin Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Instructions were great! The more I delve into GameEx, the more I like it. You guys keep up the great work!Oh, I might as well ask this question, Multi disk games such as Final Fantasy 7 does not show which disk it is on my game list. How would I change the names to fix that? Map file? Dat file?Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullPointer Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Oh, I might as well ask this question, Multi disk games such as Final Fantasy 7 does not show which disk it is on my game list. How would I change the names to fix that? Map file? Dat file?A map file would certainly do the trick, but you may not have to go to those lengths. Depending on how your disc images are named, it may just be a matter of removing the parenthetical text filter in your settings. Check out the Remove Text in Brackets setting found on the Advanced Emulator Setup screen in the Setup Wizard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabrin Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Null, That did the trick...thanks!!!I think I need to look at more of those commands in advanced emulator setup.Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
