Launching games ( not using emulators ) (1 Viewer)

[K1lo]

Is there a way in My Emulators to launch seperate executables?

What I mean by that is, can I have the following heirarchy:

My Emulators
|
|
|- Emulator 1
|
|- Rom 1
|- Rom 2

|- Emulator 2
|
|- Rom 1
|- Rom 2
|- Rom 3

|- PC
|
|- Game 1
|- Game 2

Where Game 1 / 2 do not call an emulator in the form PC.exe "Game1.ext" ... but simply execute the game binary itself (i.e. Game1.exe) ?

I haven't tried this yet in the new version (2.5) and Chreekar is planning on building this into the config so you don't need a batch file, but as described in this thread, this is how I was doing it (it's also in the FAQ, described a little differently):

PC

Multiple games

Path to emulator: insert_path\pc.bat
Path to directory with ROMs: insert_path
name shown in Media Portal: PC
Filter for showing files: *.*

Advanced
Use quotes in paths: yes
Execute without arguments: no

additional requirements:

create a batch file called pc.bat with this code in it:

%*

Then point the "Path to directory with ROMs" to the folder containing the shortcuts to your PC games and leave everything else default.

& fyi a batch file is just a text file with the .txt extension renamed to .bat
i'll upload it if you want me to
