[PLUGIN] GEmvoy

[stigzler]

"A bit of a Swiss Army knife..."

This plugin does various stuff. It's main aim is to make running multiple emulators for each system as easy as possible. You can setup all your emulators in GEmvoy first - running and testing them from there before dovetailing with GameEx. You can also choose which Emulator to launch a game with from GameEx itself. Lots of additional stuff. Best way to find out what it does - download it and have a tinker - it's very low impact on GameEx; your game and asset files + your existing setup, so you can't break anything.

Features:

• Quickly launch zipped gamefile sets without having to wait for them to unzip.
• Have different system emulators mapped against one GameEx 'emulator.'
• Be able to choose which emulator boots a game from the Game Details page in GameEx.
• Simple approach to mounting gamefiles
• Test emulator/games setups before running through GameEx - boot games in "Fullboot" or "Setup boot" modes. 
• Can work with multi-format gamefile sets for one emulator (e.g. Playstation sets with mixtures of .cue, .mds etc.)
• Save emulator settings on per-game basis, allowing for different  graphics, sound and controller setups for each game.
• Launch support apps before, alongside or after a game boot on a per-system, emulator or game basis. 
• Full tokenised game/system/emu details allowing insertion of these into any command lines.
• Make your own emulator settings scripts, swapping out files, folders and registry entries between game boots.
• Key-remaps on per emulator or game basis (experimental)
• Timelapse picture capture via webcam during games. Continuous, timed or burst mode. 
• GameEx tweaks allowing:
  • Choose which sounds to use for the GameEx menu
  • Choose to use random sounds for the above
  • Relocate the message window from the bottom right
• User prompting throughout any unzips showing progress.

Ooooooo wonder what this is..

[stigzler]

It's currently the destroyer of my annual leave  

All features coded. Half a day of half-assed testing tomorrow, then gotta knock some vids/guides together + I'll slap it out there...

EDIT: Did I say half a day!?

Phew. This one nearly killed me....

As ever - written for my own needs, but tailored to help others, just in case it may be of some use....

And as we know - it's easy to keep warm in a sack, but it's the sewing it into something presentable that's the graft!

V0.9.1 - Initial release achieved. OP updated to present what it does - kinda - it's hard to explain!

I need a holiday...
