Configuring GameEX to launch PC games

[eproxy]

Hi,

I have not yet dabbled with this feature in GameEx and was wanting to add some PC titles to my GameEx. Is there a readme somewhere for setting them up properly?

its pretty easy really. i do like this.

set up each game as an separate emulator. instead of maby "amiga emulator" you put in the game name

then just specify the rom path as *.exe

set up all the directories iincluding rom path (where to find the exe file) and working path. paths to the program folder. (dont include the exe file here)

and in commandline just type the exe file "abcdefg.exe" depending on what the exe file that launch the game is called.

so its that easy. i guess there is other ways to do it. this is one.

Mind posting your config so I can also look at what your other settings are? show desktop etc...

Thanks

I have tried many dif settings. I am able to get the title to show in GameEx but I am stuck returning to the same menu when trying to execute the game. I tried to setup another game but wasnt able to get it to show at all in GameEx. Is there a listing as to how every PC title should be setup?

I was also thinking it may be a resolution issue but not having luck with the second game attempt I figed id await others suggestions. Currently using build 7.09

There may be an easier way now, but when I did this ages ago I had to launch them from .bat files:

[Emulator_11]

Enabled=True

STARTPAGENAME=PC Apps

TITLETEXT=PC Apps

StartPageLogo=PC

ROMFilter=*.bat;*.lnk

RomsInFolders=False

RomPath=C:\batch

SnapPath=c:\batch\snap

WorkingPath=C:\batch

MapKeys=False

WaitBeforeKeys=

SendKeys=

ReplaceDash=True

ReplaceUnder=True

Capitals=True

RemoveBrackets=True

ShowDesktop=True

Debug=False

MAPFile=

AlsoLaunch=

Command=cmd.exe /c "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

OLDatZip=

TitlePath=

BoxPath=

LaunchBefore=

LaunchAfter=

CartPath=

configFile=

ExcludedFiles=

CustomBackground=

PlayMusic=

PCGame=

DATABASE=

DumbyValue=

GamesIn7Zips=

PlayInScreenSaver=True

LastGame=False|11|House Of The Dead|House of the Dead.bat|House of the Dead|PC Apps|26

Then in c:\batch I had all of them along with a snap folder for the screenshots:
