PC Games as an Emulator in GameEx

[Tom Speirs]

I just wanted to tell anyone that has setup an emulator config for PC games, or is using batch files for say Fruit machine emulators, that:

Several versons back I implemented support for shortcut/.lnk files in GameEx for emulators.

They should be able to be called directly as a rom. e.g CMD="[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

It could save you a lot of time coding all those batch files.

Cheers.

That's awesome, I'm building my media center this week and will definately be taking avantage of that! First one will be NHL06 which comes out today!

So any.bat file could be called with CMD="c:\any.bat" and the game or whatever will start?

This would be cool if you like to watch MAME replays. Just add a folder with the correct mame.exe version, a roms folder with the corresponding rom and an inp folder.

Nice...

I think maybe your getting a little confused. I am talking about windows shortcuts not batch files. You can use batch files though of course, and I believe it would be possible to set up an emulator for MAME Replays, but you probably dont even need a batch file for that. If someone wants to take on the challenge of creating an emu config for mame replays that would be cool.

This is this weekends GameEx challenge

By the way I have an application I wrote years back to automatically create MAP files for MAME if you wanted to use some weird build, or setup MAME as an emulator for something like above.
