[starbuck]

How do I increase the number of emulators I can have

Read thru the forum that it can be done but not how.

Thanks

Is sarcasm needed?

No you are not the only one

Nor is there any one person that wants Roms in folders option to work.

I'am sure Tom when he gets around to it will fill the request.

I am doing it the way you suggested. If you just use the default emulators in setup you almost fill up the amount currently available.

I just thought I'd ask you are a new user. Or at least you are new to posting on the forum.

You can never be to sure.... Maybe you should post in the features request that you would also like more avalable slots.

I'am sure if enough board members ask Tom will provide them.

Actually its my understanding that if you edit the GameEx.ini file directly you can add up to 100,000 emu's or some other ungodly number.

So in short GameEx does support a shit load more than what the GUI interface offers.

Nologic is correct

edit you gameex.ini (in your gameex install diir) ----backup your original first

You will see a shit load of these...just add accordingly and rename.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. It just seems that everytime I mention adding more slots, someone tries to shoot it down. Thank you for the information.

GameEx currently has the ability to support 999 emulator slots, but is currently fixed to support up to 255 through ini editing, just for performance reasons. There is also an optimization in place that any emulators greater than hundred will not load unless there all sequently enabled above that number.

This can all be easily changed though.

[headkaze]

Here is a specially compiled version of the Setup Wizard to support 255 emulators. I'll send this on to Tom for inclusion in the next release. I can't imagine anyone wanting more than that!

hehe teach me to go running off at the mouth.

@ Starbuck

Well hopefully you'll be there for others in the future.

Always looking to build and expand our community, and the higher the average skill level of all those here, the more interesting things we'll be able to do as a community.

Who da thunk

I didnt know the limit was 255 through the editing either... I wonder how you get the rest then?!?

[kenclops]

Tom, thank you for adding the two features I asked for. Brian, you're cool with your advice too.

Hey, um, I just tried going through the setup wizard, and tried enabling 43-80. Didn't show up in the config screen. Tried giving them all the name Atari 2600 Games and one PC Games Shortcut. Didn't show up in the config.exe. What I missing? I see the extra slots in the setup wizard, but I can't access them in the config.exe or through emulator setup in setupwizard.exe

I believe once you set them up in the setup wizard they will show up in gameex...not the config.. same for the ini editing..

I could be wrong tho

What I found is that you give each category a name in the setup wizard. Then you have to go to Gameex.ini to do the logo name, work path, and rom path, etc. Then it shows up in Gameex, but not the config. Is there any way to get them to pop up in the config.exe?

[headkaze]

The simple answer (for now) is don't use the Advanced Configuration use the Setup Wizard. Open up the Setup Wizard and select Custom then put a tick next to "Emulator Selection" *and* "Emulator Setup". Then you can use the Setup Wizard to add and configure up to 255 emulators. If there is a problem doing this or bug, please let me know.

Totally didn't see the emulator setup emulator drop down menu at the top of the screen. I kept on looking at the emulator setup (1) (2) (3) (4) FINISH. And I was like wtf? But now that I seen the drop down menu to select gameex slots in the emulator setup it all makes senses now.
