Well, your App Path is wrong  :P

this is how it should look in Systems.xml

<Name>PC Games</Name>
    <AppPath>C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe</AppPath>
    <RomPath>D:\PC Games</RomPath>
    <SnapPath>D:\Artwork\Snapshots\PC Games</SnapPath>
    <VidPath>D:\Artwork\Video\PC Games</VidPath>
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="Application shortcut" value="/C "%path\%file%ext"" />
    </Emu>
    <Extensions>.lnk</Extensions>

Note that  App Path is "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe" only if you use Winows x64 bits
If you use Windows x32 i think it is "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe"  :-\

And you must use ".lnk" extension

and where to enter a file path *.exe? (D:\ARCADE\SORR\ SorR.exe) 

    <Name>Microsoft</Name>
    <AppPath>C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe</AppPath>
    <RomPath>D:\ARCADE\SORR\</RomPath>
    <SnapPath>D:\ARCADE\SORR\</SnapPath>
    <VidPath>D:\ARCADE\SORR</VidPath>
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="Application shortcut" value="/C "%path\%file%ext"" />
    </Emu>
    <Extensions>.lnk</Extensions>

You don't need a path for .exe

Follow these steps:
- put all games in a folder (if they are portable) or install them if that is the only way they run
- test them to see if they work and set the resolution to FullScreen from the games
- for every game you have create a shortcut (.lnk)
- put all the .lnk files in a folder (like PC Games)
- add Rom Path to the newly created folder (PC Games)

Now you should see the games in mGalaxy and launch them

Hope that helps you

It's not possible, but I don't see why it's a problem, all is invisible.
You can try to change the launch command by

Code: Select all

<Cmd id="0" name="Application shortcut" value="/c START /MIN "%path\%file%ext"" />
To try to launch minimised or use something like this http://www.ntwind.com/software/hstart.html instead of cmd.exe
