pc games

hi i was just wondering if i could get all my pc game shortcuts to show up under pc apps and launch each one for there, i have been looking though the forums and config's with no luck

I think the question is "can I have all my PC games in one list?" If so, then yes! Create a directory somewhere. Create a link for each PC game's exe and put it in that directory. Rename the file to something descriptive that would look appropriate in the menu. In GameEx, setup an emulator called "PC Apps". Under the filter field, put "*.lnk". Under the field for the command line, put "[rompath]\[rom]".

I'm pretty sure there's already a config for this included in the GameEx install. You might want to use the Setup Wizard for this by going to the Emulator Selection screen and clicking import. I think one called PC Games or something is in there. It will be set up for you and once you add the path to your link files, you'll be good to go.

thank you for the reply ,but when i verify setup in set up wizard i get - rom filter (*.ink) no files found in "c:\user\administrator\desktop\games"

*.ink is the shortcut for the game right

Your extension should be "l" which is "L" lowercase. Not "i".

Using too many quotes. Also your command-line is incorrect. Try the following please!

"[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

Good deal! Have fun!

I wasn't sure if you needed [ROM] or [ROMFILE]. I think the later includes the extension, so that's what you wanted after all. Glad you got it working!
