\thumbs\myemulators

Be sure to have the name of the emulator the same as the filename of the thumb;

so:

SNES => SNES.jpg

You can find the thumbs folder in your Start Menu/Team MediaPortal/MediaPortal/User Files.
Emulator icons goes in \thumbs\myEmulators\emulators.
Roms in \thumbs\myEmulators\games.

New version, 3.1 is availible. I've solved the bug when exporting meta data about files in subfolders, as usual it was this tiny tiny little thing that stopped it from working Here is the changelog:

v3.1
-A new prefix, %ROM_WITHOUT_EXT%, that
works like %ROM% but will not include
the extension of the file
-New section in Configuration for setting
thumbnails
-Bugfix regarding exporting game meta data
-Esc can be used to go back one level
instead of just exiting
-Maximize box in Configuration window
-Bugfix in resizing method
-Configuration window resizable
-Blue3wide skin included

Hey Chreekar I just downloaded 3.1. Thanks for the thumbs folder option. That will really save me some space. Is there any way to not do it one at a time? I have a lot of thumbs so it would definitely save me time. Thanks again.

Hello Chreekar thx for new prefix it almost solve my problem. but there is one thing with this

from command line to run state exactly as i wish im writing (in WinUAE folder):

winuae.exe -f Black.uae -s statefile=Savestates\Black.uss

so winUAE load config called Black.uae, and statefile called Black.uss (in folder Savestates)

i try to make it in myemulators and in argument line i write:

-f %ROM% -s statefile=Savestates\%ROM_WITHOUT_EXT%.uss

but probably %ROM_WITHOUT_EXT% doesnt work like this or dont like prefix and sufix "Savestates\" and/or ".uss"

finally with this arguments winUAE loading config but dont load state file

Ive made a experiment and in arguments i set:

-f %ROM% -s statefile=Savestates\Black.uss

And this game run just like from command line. ofcourse olny this one
Conclusion: there is something wrong with argument line or with %ROM_WITHOUT_EXT% variable (or i missunderstand a destination of this variable)

You are just ONE step before perfect Amiga with savestate work in MyEmulators

 

[Chreekar]

Yeah, %ROM_WIHOUT_EXT% is replaced with the full path except the extension, so if the game is in C:\Games\NES\Game.nes the prefix will be replaced with C:\Games\NES\Game.

Atreides: When setting the thumbnail, it actually copies it to the thumbs folder. If you want to have them in another folder, you need to change the MP settings and set another location for the thumbnails.

Can you make something like %ROM_WIHOUT_EXT% but as i need? simply %ROMNAME_WITHOUT_EXT% if this will be work as i explain in previous post i think it could solve my problem, and be usable not only in winUAE. Just romname without ext and without path, but with possibility tu use it with prefix and suffix like this myownpath\%ROMNAME_WITHOUT_EXT%ext
