I use eventghost to send my killkey when I press start+select on my 360 controller. Works pretty well.

    jdoo,

    Thanks for the reply. Would you be able to post a couple of pics showing the configuration. I haven't had need to use event ghost for a while.

    Thanks

    Here you go -> http://i.imgur.com/d8dTJ.png

    My killkey is F19 which i send when I press start+select on xbox360 controller. I added the xbox controller driver (see at top) and then just added a new macro for key F19. Hope that helps

    Nice. Thanks for the quick reply. Xpadder was a bit of overkill since all the emulators support the xbox 360 controller well. I'll use this solution in future.

    Thanks for this. I've had some good luck editing for my own purposes. If anyone wants to take a look at what I put together for an improvement to coverflow view, edit you Emulators2.facade.xml and replace the coverflow control with this:
    Code:
          <control>
            <description>Cover Flow</description>

    I use coverflow for the emulators view only, so the above modifications to the size of the icons may mess up game lists. Speaking of emulators, after a lot of work I have settled on some nice emulator icons to share.
    GBA
    NES
    PC
    Playstation
    Playstation 2
    Sega Genesis
    Super Nintendo
    Wii

    I use list view for my games view and I use the "good" tools to rename roms and goodmerge to save some space. The winrar icon for zipped roms in list view annoyed me so I commented out the "goodmerge image" and "goodmerge favorite" control entries in Emulators2.listview.xml with <!-- -->

    Hope that helps.

    Good work, I'll add an option to make the goodmerge icon optional as it's pointless if all your games are zipped :) . Eventually I'd like to add separate layouts for emus and games but don't hold your breath just yet ;).

    Hi,

    Installed the plugin yesterday, and after some tweaking I am very happy with it. Pretty awesome software for Alpha!

    Previously in MyEmulators, I used BAT files to launch all my games (fusion, zsnes, psx, pcsx2, mame, project64) but they were all in one place under PC games. Seeing as all the work was already done, with regards to the BAT files, I configured all the emulators to use cmd.exe /c, and filtered on *.bat files. Now all my games are viewable by emulator, awesome.

    Keep up the good work.

    Hi,

    you can start a game with an .bat file which is starting the game.exe with parameters. inside the configuration you can select an .bat file except of the game.exe file.

    Not bad idea, although it's a lot of work when you could just enter parameters into one field.

    Anyway, I really like version 2. Interface reminds me of moving pictures.
