Where you run it depends totally on your dashboard. EvoX, by default, looks in these places for programs:
QUOTE
Section "Launch Menu"
{
Section "Games"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
SortAll
}
Section "Apps"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\apps\"
AutoAddItem "f:\apps\"
SortAll
}
}
You can find that section in the "evox.ini" file which should be located where your dash is installled (probably the root of C: or E:).
So you can put your emulators in any of those places and EvoX will find it (it looks for the "default.xbe" file). But if you wanted to make a section for Emulators to be by themselves you could add it like this:
QUOTE
Section "Launch Menu"
{
Section "Games"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
SortAll
}
Section "Emulators"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\emulators\"
AutoAddItem "f:\emulators\"
SortAll
}
Section "Apps"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\apps\"
AutoAddItem "f:\apps\"
SortAll
}
}
I bolded the section I added. That will give you a menu option on your main EvoX screen called "Emulators". When you select that option then EvoX will list any emulators installed in e:\emulators\ or f:\emulators\.
BTW, if you don't have an F: you can just remove the lines that refer to F:.
But if you just want to install them in E:\apps\ then EvoX should find them. Just install it like this:
E:\Apps\Xboy Advance\*default.xbe + other emulator files and folders*
The "Xboy Advance" folder in my example can actually be named anything you want since the name of that folder won't have any impact on EvoX finding the emulator.
Then your ROMS need to go here:
E:\Apps\XBoy Advance\gbaroms\*roms go here*
Again, the "Xboy Advance" folder can be named anythign you want, but the ROMS folder must be named "gbaroms" (letters can be lower case or capitalized, doesn't matter) unless you change the folder it looks for in the "xboyadvance.ini" file... which, as I mentioned earlier, you will find in E:\SAVES\XBOYADVANCE\ after you launch the emulator for the first time.
might be an idea to paste your evox.ini in here(thats if its ok with the moderators, its a looooooooong piece of text)
remeber to use the code tags, not quote, so the spacing stays the same,like this
