use "My Programs" plugin under windows
#1
hello there,
is there any way to use My Programs plugin under windows?
I tried to create a ".cut" file that link to a windows program,
the icon is shown correctly but nothing happens when clicking on it.

is there any other plugin or script that allow that? i've tried emuLauncher but it didn't work either.

thanks,
leo

an answer to this post will be nice....
just yes or no.
if there isn't such a plugin, I would like to develop one.

It should work via the python system command (can't remember which but you can search the forum).
But I dunno the scripts you've mentioned.

yes, i know that os.execv can execute programs... I hoped that someone already wrote this simple script...
thanks anyway Charly & WiSo.
I think I'll try to develop a script for that.

I've modified emuLauncher plugin to run windows applications.
here is the modified script:
http://leo212.googlepages.com/emuLauncher.zip

now it checks if its windows or linux and runs it using System.Exec command.
(linux version wasn't tested) otherwise runs with xbox normal command.

I hope it will help to some other people.

thanks for doing this good to see someone working on getting windows programs working. haven't worked it out yet but I'm probably missing something. I never used the luncher before so I better stare reading about it usage.
