New Menu?

[Spyhunter]

I want t create a new menu for my Sierra Adventures, so say on START page it reads ADVENTURES then opens into a new menu like OTHER EMULATORS..

Can this be done or is it something of a request until its updated?

Just asking.... I;m keen to get everthing on my new machine running from my wireless keybd and mouse to my TV - sweet menu - ell think i'm gona donate again for the same of it!!! LOL

So I'm not the only one with Sierra adventures in GameEx....

There isn't a way to do that at the moment, but more menu customization options is a highly requested feature.

Not only Sierra adventures are gems Lucas arts adventures are gems as well imho

you just got me inspired to add "dosbox" in Game-ex

[djrobx]

DOSBox is great. ScummVM and NAGI are useful, too!

agree there for lucas arts talkie versions ScummVM are better tho now i need to find a good "easy" way to combine those 2 emulators so they run the games they are best to in the same section :)

I ended up making batch files for all my Scumm games. A lot of work, but you could put everything in the same place. Just an idea.

Yup. Lots of batch files, that's how I do it. Each .BAT file becomes a ROM.

So I have folders set up like this:

inside the adventure games folder I have:

nagi\

scummvm\

Space Quest\

Space Quest II\

King's Quest\

King's Quest II\

Day of the Tentacle\

Zak McKracken\

plus the bat files for each game:

Space Quest.bat

Space Quest II.bat

King's Quest.bat

King's Quest II.bat

Day of the Tentacle.bat

Zak McKracken.bat

then each bat file changes folders and loads the approprate emulator.

E.g.

Space Quest.bat

--------------------

cd "Space Quest"

..\nagi\runcd "Space Quest"

..\nagi\nagi

Zak McRacken.bat

---------------------

cd "Zak McKracken"

..\scummvm\run.exe --joystick=0 -f -c=..\scummvm\scummvm.ini -p=. zaktowns
