Going to specific GameEx menus via command line?

[Marker0077]

I only use GameEx for games. The only thing GameEx has (aside from gaming-wise) that appeals to me that media center can not do is the radio stations (which I'd like to get in Media Center).

Here's my question, is there a way to have GameEx go to specific parts of the menu via a command line parameter?

When accessing GameEx via "My Games" in media center, i'd like it to just go to the "emulators" menu; This way it can access all console emulators, as well as MAME & PC games. The only drawback to this I do not like is not having "Favorites" or "Play Random Game".

Secondly, I'd like to go right to the "radio station" section via a shortcut. It'd be nice if I could have this in "My Music" in media center, but I could add a shortcut to "More Programs" & be just as happy. Problem is, I don't know if there's a way to access a certain menu in GameEx via a command line parameter.

Any feedback would be appreciated & as always, thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, there is an option during installation of GameEX to only install the game features with a note saying that it wasn't recommended. This is the option that I selected, so that when I launch GameEX it simply displays all the emulators, MAME, configuration and favorites.

Now if I can only get "My Games" to appear in Media Center

EDIT: Looks like you already tried the Lite GameEX feature and now you want to restore back to the full version. Nevermind.

I can help you with adding internet radio to mce, not sure about the rest. There's a simple way to add internet radio stations to the radio section of mce, you dont even need any plugins & it works flawlessly:

All you need to do in unzip the radio.zip, & move the radio folder to:

c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs

Radio.zip

to add more stations, just make more mcl & htm files to suit using notepad. Easy as pie

(you should be able to add all of the gameex stations no problem, as most have permanent streams)

I thought there was an option in the Config to disable these features? Under tweaks/performance? Maybe I'm wrong?

You can have 1 menu that goes to 1 menu down the heirarchy but I like the way the "Emulators" menu is in the full version. I like it saying "MAME", then you select MAME & it gives you the option for the various types of MAME games. If you have it being all on 1 menu, it's all the various MAME categories on that menu which adds a ton of clutter. Same concept applies to other menus as well.
