"C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -mount 0,%1
ncdz.exe
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -unmount 0
Modify your NeoGeo CDZ launcher configuration to start the ncdz-launcher.bat instead of the ncdz.exe application. Here is the corresponding part of the launchers.xml file :
<launcher>
<name>NeoGeo CD (ncdz)</name>
<application>C:\Program Files (x86)\NeoGeo_CDZ_Emulator_V20051225_win\ncdz-launcher.bat</application>
<args>"%rom%"</args>
...
Now every time you will use this launcher it will automatically mount the ISO/CD image and then start the application. When the application will be closed, the ISO/CD image will be automatically unmounted.
Clever stuff, I have no experience with programming and have only done very bare minimum cmd prompt launching and usage etc. I don't want to clutter this thread up with explanation but it was my understanding that this would work it's way through line by line.
What is it that stops the script from launching line 3, right after it's opened the application?
Also how would this help for occasionally using a physical psx disc in a physical drive?
Or am I trying to overcomplicate things having a 'Launch Disc' item amongst the rom lists, when the simple answer is to create another PSX launcher that doesn't use the %rom% argument?
------------------------------------------
ADDITION: Just hit that addony error and lost my launchers while adding fanart to resident evil. I smiled very much being able to re-instate a backup from 2 seconds previously from the addon settings
As my own precaution prior to last update, after scanning files to launchers, I've also exported their nfo's and saved art so it wouldn't take hours importing data for whole collections again should I lose it all again
Sadly much of my scraped rom data is incorrect, I just set all scrapers to auto and left it to it, there was no way I was manually managing my way through 3 confirmations per rom with whole collections per console! 3000+ pop ups to go through, select and confirm every GBA rom? No thanks!
I'll probably end up deleting every sports game across all consoles... 1 football/basketball/hockey/baseball/racing game isn't going to offer anything or play very different to any others, and would save a substantial amount of hard drive space and time navigating lists/importing files etc!
Is there a database/list somewhere of opinions on superior platform per game? eg THPS3 = PS2 > N64, Mortal Kombat = Sega > Nintendo
Because that could save some time and space too
as well as give me new console/game suggestions
