I feel the need to discuss a certain problem i have with sms/gg emulators..
most sms games have also been ported to the gamegear, thus resulting with filenames that are
exactly the same.. "mickey mouse (u).zip" for example,
now when i make a screenshot of the gamegear rom the same pic shows up when i go to the sms rom
with the same filename..
same goes with save games, they are not interchangable thus resulting in a very messy buisness and stuff..
i was wondering if it is possible to perhaps make mekax create different dirs based on the rom's file extension?
currently i'm running 2 hacked versions of smsplus to overcome this problem, one for gamegear and one for sms roms,
also perhaps adding a system based favorites option would be nice?
like :
Favorites : Gamegear
Favorites : Mastersystem
it would result in a much cleaner look..
not really neccesary but i'm just one of those people who consider the gamegear and the sms sepperate systems
also congrats on porting one of the best gg/sms emulators ever created,
i spend many a day switching gui theme's when i first discovered meka back in 96! or was it 97? i dont remember..
anyhoo congrats on another wonderfull port!
I'd like to see xport go 1 step further with this.
Allow 2 copies of the XBE to be in 2 different directories for those of us who need to run GG and SMS games seperately. Allow the ability to completely remove the E:\Saves directory for those who so wish and instead run the ini file from the directory of the xbe. This will preserve settings between 2 different rom sets, esentially making 1 emulator seem like 2 different ones.
NeoGenesis (seperate games by add-on, like 32x, SegaCD, and Genesis, only change "Choose Game" to "Choose 32X game", "Choose SegaCD Game", and "Choose Genesis/Mega Drive Game"),
MekaX (SMS seperate from GameGear, add in options to choose to run emulator as multi system or single system),
XboyAdvance (Allow seperate "Chose games" for Gameboy, GameBoy Color, and Gameboy Advance carts.)
all other xport emulators should be updated to use the same options regarding the E:\Save directory
