emulator HowTo: yes or no?

waeberd · 2004-09-08, 08:52

Hi,

I'd like to GIVE BACK something to the great MP community and thought of doing a "How to integrate emulators in MediaPortal"!

General thoughts:

Emulators described in the HowTo should be playable without keyboard (=> console and arcade emulators suit best of course)
Emulators should run without crashing all the time (no alpha versions).
Configuring the emulator itself is out of scope of the HowTo :-) (except settings that are necessary to integrate well into MP).
And to keep things legal: NO ROM REQUESTS and I won't post ROM-links!

For each emulator, I'd include the following:

* name of the emulator
* emulated system
* where to get the emulator
* how to start it up seamlessly with MyPrograms (no popups, fullscreen)
* how to use the emulator without a keyboard (only remote control & gamepad/joystick)
* how to exit the emulator and go back to MediaPortal (without having to use the keyboard)
* remarks

What do you think? Comments?
Cheers,
Daniel
