trouble with bats..

[jmode]

hi, im new here and my english is not very good; but i have to say that HS is simply awesome.well, my idea is to have a frontend with only game i like, in one main wheel.

i did a "bat" for each game, launching the emulator, rom, and xpadder at the same time, and when i want to close, just press esc and the emulator close


Start D:\XBMC\Juegos\Xpadder\nes.xpadderprofile
cd..
cd Nintendo
Fceux.exe "D:\XBMC\Juegos\Nintendo\ROMS\Super Mario Bros. 2.zip"
Start D:\XBMC\Juegos\Xpadder\desktop.xpadderprofile


this way, i have sagas in one list:
super mario bros.
super mario bros. 2
super mario bros. 3
super mario world
sonic the hedgehog
sonic the hedgehog 2

and so on

i creat a new list named "GAMES" in a single wheel, i treat as "PC GAMES" and wont launch any game

Leave off the .bat in the game name field.

You can do this in autohotkey just as easily and you don't have to create a batch file for each rom.


this way, i have sagas in one list:
super mario bros.
super mario bros. 2
super mario bros. 3
super mario world
sonic the hedgehog
sonic the hedgehog 2


you can do this too by merging the XML files and noting which system they belong to. One wheel can launch multiple emulators.

gonna try autohotkey,but scripting is chinese for me...

thankyou for your replys.

Done, i have a new "GAMES" list with all mario saga between nes and snes, but when i try launch a game, HS ask for an emulator ini file; cannot find netopia.ini, cannot find zsnesw.ini

thnkyou

I don't think you want to point it to 'nestopia' you want to point it to "Nintendo Entertainment System"

[jmode]

ok, after a few days i have custom list working with the <exe> tags.
now i need some help to run xpadder with emulators. since i dont need closemul nor bats to do this, just edit hyperlaunch, the question is, how do i edit hyperlaunch.ahk to do this???


thankyou for helping me

[SophT]

the question is, how do i edit hyperlaunch.ahk to do this???


just open it up with your favorite text editor- and add the calls to xpadder for each system before and after the run, emulator line. save and recompile.


run, D:\XBMC\Juegos\Xpadder\nes.xpadderprofile
<!--code that launches nestopia-->
run, D:\XBMC\Juegos\Xpadder\desktop.xpadderprofile
