How to launch pc games and other pc executables from the fe

Post by )p( Verified »

0.91 ships with an emulator cfg just for pc games and other pc apps to make setting them up very easy indeed. The only thing you have to do in a gamelist entry is put the full path in field 2 and associate the pcgames emulator cfg in field 10 with it like this:

|My PC Game|c:\path\mypcgame.exe|||||||Yes|pcgames|app||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This way you can add pcgames to any gamelist you want.

Screenshots, marquees etc. for these you can put in the paths setup in your pcgames emulator cfg.
But the fe can't match the name in field 2 because of the complete path. So you point to to them in field 5 or 6. For mypcgame.jpg that would result in:

|My PC Game|c:\path\mypcgame.exe|||mypcgame||||Yes|pcgames|app||||||||||||||||||||||||||
