I already have launchers set up for snes and nes and they work perfect. I also have them link to the home page. what I now want to do is launch windows games (ex. skyrim, batman Arkam City, assassin's creen)
right now they are showing up like this
- Assassin's Creed
- Batman Arkam City
- NES
---Super Mario brothers
- Skyrim
-SNES
---Super Mario world
what I would like to do is to have them like this
- NES
--- Super Mario Brothers
- SNES
--- Super Mario World
- Windows games
--- Assassin's Creed
--- Batman Arkam City
--- Skyrim
how do I set up the launcher to group the windows games togeather. Im guessing I would have to create some kinde of "file launcher" but I dont know what I would put for the launching program (the place the emulators go)
im verry sorry if this still sounds a bit odd im going to 27 hours awake and just working on my media center to try to stay awake
Here is a post from JohnnyD2 who explains how to do it.
Create a file with "%*" (without the quotes) in it. Call it 'launchgame.bat' and save it on the C:\ drive.
In Advanced Launcher, at the folder level that holds the links, call up the context menu with 'c' and choose 'Edit Launcher'.
- Change the launching application, and point it to C:\launchgame.bat.
- Make sure 'Modify arguments' reads "%rom%".
- Make sure 'Modify Items extension' reads 'lnk' (LNK)
Then give it a whirl. You'll still have XBMC open so there may be issues with that, but this should get you up and running. You can improve the batch file later.
