(Old) My Emulators (15 Viewers)

[scales]

i think the only problem i am seeing is that when i have all of my emulators setup, and the program is scanning and putting them all in the big game database, it takes a long time. i dont know if there is a better way to do that. also, i agree with d-fader, and it would be nice to have a filter or search so i could just pick a letter, and it will take me to that section, kinda like when i search for a tv show to record.

Keep up the good work Chreekar!

When you can implement that, it would make my life a lot easier, since I have 17000 SNES roms and I don't want to scroll to Super Mario World if you catch my drift

At one game and two centimeters per cartridge you will have a tower of games that is 340 meters high. (Eiffel tower ~320).... you DO have the originals don't you!?

I deleted them after 24 hours, that helped. I can now scroll through all my games, since they fit on a few pages now, problem solved

And to rephrase my previous post; what if one would actually have a couple of hundreds of ROMs (games, demo's or both), one would like to select a game fast. Hence the fast scroll request remains

This Plugin is really cool! First I had some problems with it, but it seems like I wasn't the only one. My problems were solved with reading this thread and now all is working fine with project64. If my HTPC is ready I will test if it is working there too. The only thing I worry about is the quitting of the games. I hope it is possible to bind this command to a button on the iMon IR.

But I have another question. Is the DosBox Emulator working with MyEmulators too? I could imagine that it would be really cool to play some old Dos games like Commander Keen or DeathRally on my HTPC too. But I think this will be more problematic than project64.

Hi, I have most emulators working now but cant get any Atari 2600 emulators to work eg Stella , can anyone help ?

Any news on the alt+F4 issue?
It's a real pain to have to bring out the keyboard to kill MP after the 4-yearold has gone tired of one game and want to play another...

Any news on the alt+F4 issue?

Not really unfortunately, I have been too busy lately I am hoping to get more free time soon.


By the way, I will now use a SVN repository for the sources. The latest version can always be found here:

https://mp-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mp-plugins/trunk/plugins/MyEmulators

.

Hi, this is the first time, I've seen this plugin, and think that's great. Last weekend I've been working in a tiny program to launch emulator roms, but I dont have time to follow working on it.

I have a Wii console and as you know there is a program (glovepie) that permits load a script and send keys to another program (thas is focused). Therefore, I've done a script that permits me to use mediaportal from my wiimote, when I close mediaportal my program focus again, and I can choose other program like an emulator and do the same thing.

How do I do it?

I capture a hotkey (Ctrl+z) in my program. Launch a program, with a glovepie script. When in this program o game I press "Home key" (wiimote key), the script press Ctrl+z and my program is back, then close the glovepie script, the emulator and load my own glovepie script.

It's hard for me to explain this in english!

Please test wiimote and nunchuck on your pc and emulator, it's very cool...

Ok, I want to help you, with a small code.

Dont buy a Wii, buy a Wiimote + Nunchuk is cheaper!

Cool! As soon as I have some spare time, I'll try to use it in my code. Thanks!

Hi,
I've been really happy with this plugin, except that it's hard for me to get the emulator to close after it's started, which a lot of people seem to be complaining about. I have a Remote Wonder and I want the emulator to quit with the push of a button from my remote. I've been trying to map ALT-F4 to a button on the remote with this program (http://rwkeymaster.sourceforge.net/rwkf_readme.htm). However, this does not work that well. When I start up the emulator and I push the quit button, the emulator quits...but then starts up again. However, if I do this while MP isn't running, the emulators quits and does not start back up again - so I think it's an issue with the plugin. Has anyone had this problem or know how to deal with it? Thanks.
