correct.

Anyway, did you people talk about that particular ban?

usually we do, but not for this one. either moomoomoo just thinks he's better than us or went into an outrage or both.

ok lets get back on topic, anyone have any more feature reccomendations for this frontend?

[favian]

would anyone else like to take up the project?

[hushypushy]

hairybudda is back, you can PM him or something. maybe ask him for his MSN or something more personal so you donthave to rely on the board?

i'm not relying on the board to get in touch with him
i'm relying on the board to find a new developer.

i thought that was pretty obvious

[gameman733]

If i can get the source of what hairybudda already has, Ill pick up and do some things with it. However, im not going to be able to have it fully working by myself (im hoping hairybudda and i can partner together)

Hmm, I seem to have upset a few people in this thread, so if you get the source and send it to me I'll help out. Consolation if you will.

i wrote him back a few weeks ago and he replied:

Killed it, reformatted my computer, and I'm still banned at
NGEmu = no project
Sorry dude


i'm not sure those mockups he made were even real...
alas its back to square one

A front end like that would be perfect for my HTPC setup!

agreed! thats actually what inspired this project for me at least. for people who have HTPCs or in the very least people who have an s-video out on their video card.

[gameman733]

As far as configuration goes, are you wanting game specific settings? or will 1 set of settings for all games be ok.

Specific settings. I was thinking ant ePSXeCutor open sorce? if so wouldnt it not be easyer to start with that?

[n_w95482]

I don't believe ePSXeCutor is open source.

game specific settings seems to be the best option

[amfest]

I like setups like that . .. although with mame at least it can search for what the zip files are named and populate your game lists easily. Too bad I'm not really a programmer but I never mind working a lil to try and mimic the same idea. So I take my poor poor html skills . .lol and instead of vb, c++ or whatever I try to accomplish the same look with an html page >_<

Yes it's silly but hey it works for me. I just have the launch point to a shortcut file I setup with the command line options I want. Looks really ugly right now though but oh well. Wish I knew more about c++ or something but I've only done simple console stuff with c++ and have never messed with vb . I don't really mind having to open up and manually edit things. lol. But it'd be nice if someone would make an actual frontend that looked like it.

[favian]

haha thats pretty neat, the only problem is you cant use a gamepad to navigate a webpage :P

a program would probably be a lot easier to handle adding games and such. editing defaults seettings, setting game cover jpeg, setting screen shots jpeg... etc.

=P

[gameman733]

Ive been tinkering getting something setup in Visual Basic 6 (i think moomoomoo may help also, ill let him decide). Right now, it doesnt do anything (and probebly wont be ready for an actual release for a while), but ive been doing a lot of GUI work to make sure everything looks good on different resolutions. There is also some customlazation things (sp), mainly just background color (no pics yet). I usually have a semi updated build at http://gameman733.serveftp.com/launcher.exe if you want to have a look around and make suggestions, just keep in mind that most stuff wont be working.

Actually you can setup a controller to navigate your computer and such as having the analog become your mouse cursor and such. You can also setup joypad keys to change your config for different applications or games. Try out a lil program called joytokey. I suggest using the analog stick buttons since alot of games don't actualy use that. You could push in one stick button to change to a profile setting config then push any other button to get to different configs :P. And if I knew a lil more I could techinally make a form that writes to a file therefore I would be able to add games and such. About the only thing that wouldn't work would be the shortcut files ..but then I could just make them batch files instead and write to those also. Maybe I should start up flash again . .I believe it could do it . .I already have it installed though I believe anything you write to would have to be in a certain folder due to security risks.

yeah i know about joy2key.. the problem with joy2key for me.. is its good for navigating an interface.. but once you get into the actual emulator you'll run into problems with the emulator's joystick settings conflicting with joy2key. i've never really had any real success with it
