What's missing from current wrappers?

[headkaze]

I just wanted to mention that work is progressing well on this. But I have hit a snag. I was going to call the wrapper "Game Launcher" but I realise there is already a FE called that. So what should I call it? Any suggestions?

Well I think something simple should suffice. Are you marketing this for GE specifically or is it designed to work with any FE?

I think if its intended toward the Gameex audience that GElauncher.exe is a fine name. If it were designed for anybody something that conveys its universal wrapper.

While putting the finishing touches on this have you checked running some of the more offending emulators for compatability?

"the 'sweet' wrapper"

"Awesomo loader 3000"

"Universal Launcher"

"Multi Launch GX"

"Multi Emultor Launching Loader wrapper thing"

"Neville"

I would really prefer to give it a unique name. MultiLaunch sounds okay but I think I want a name that it a bit strange and unique like XPAdder.

I like the sound of XLaunch. But does that sound too close to XPAdder and GameEx? I like XLaunch because it means it can launch "X" as in anything.

I'm really hoping for help on this. So we will have to do it on a system by system basis, like for emulator "X" we need to hide this window, send a mouse click to this menu etc. And I will add the features in that are needed hopefully in a universal way so they can be chopped and changed for different emulators and games.

What about AutoScriptor or Emulaunch ?

Well.. Why bloody ask then? Geesh, some people... I just don't care any more, Call it what you like! Call it XYZLaunch for all I care!

Honestly!! Geesh!

A2ZLaunch?

I vote for flash's suggestion

"Multi Emultor Launching Loader wrapper thing"

I vote for flash's suggestion

Yeah, i like flashs suggestion too.

[greatflash]

I vote for flash's suggestion

Or...

"Multi Emulator Launcher, Loader, or Wrapper"

M.E.L.L.O.W.

MELLOW

And that is how you should feel when using this simple software after all the angst and failures of a manual setup

While Mellow is quite an ingenious acronym I'm not sure I like it enough. EmuLauncher doesn't quite fit the bill because it can launch single games as well. Hmm hows about ArcadeLauncher.. Oh I hate coming up for names for apps lol

Was trying to do something impressive with SQUIRREL, but it bit me and I don't have any idea how to get a bandage round that little thing....

Right, that is it now.... I have a headache and just know that Tempest will come back with something much better!

[starbuck]

Why not

Since you already have the market on LED Wiz, and CPWizard, I would lean towards "Wrapper Wizard"

[bkenobi]

Don't forget the GameEx Setup Wizard!

Tempest, you silly man... Sounds like something a sweet factory would have, not the name for a high-class cutting-edge piece of software!!!

Gosh, I do despair at you sometimes........

WILLIE is a much better suggestion..

[bkenobi]

Okay, how about WILLIE Wiz?
