[QUOTE="Lotus, post: 135598, member: 28192"] Hey guys, I am toying around with using MediaPortal as a frontend for emulators as none of them have an interface as nice as MediaPortal, but I am running into a few snags, so help me out if I can speed this up. I am going to presume you are familiar with a few random emulator tools, so bear with me. First thing I did, was to run Goodname to clean up all my rom names and then I downloaded picture sets which share those file names (or are very close, sometimes the pictures don't include the country and such) Now after I got them all cleaned up and properly organized, I went in to setup and added my emulator, I noticed that I am required to add the roms to launch (which is what I wanted) but is there anyway to add them automatically, like have it scan the whole directory and add the roms in, doing this by hand for a very large amount of games is going to take a very long time. Also can I have it automatically include the pictures, or do I have to do that by hand as well? As a thought, this might make a great plugin as well, something that allows the user to automatically rename, sort and add pictures to their rom collection. Anyways, let me know if I am missing something, or if I am doing it the only way it can be done. [/QUOTE]
