Multiple Emulators for One System

[bigjayb024]

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to set up mGalaxy to use more than one emulator for a system. I'm using MESS to run Intellivision games, and found that MESS won't load a few home brews like Donkey Kong Arcade. However, Nostalgia will run them.

Is there a way to make mGalaxy run a certain emulator for a specific game?

Other than that, mGalaxy is running perfectly! Thanks!

The new mGalaxy version I'm working on will allow you to create as much systems as you want, each with its own settings.
In the meantime, you can do this:
- In the mGalaxy folder > Data > open 'systems.xml'
- Locate the block you want to duplicate

Code: Select all

<System Type="Console">
    <Name>Mattel Intellivision</Name>
    <AppPath />
    <RomPath />
    <SnapPath />
    <VidPath />
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="Nostalgia" value=""%path\%file%ext" -f" />
      <Cmd id="1" name="MESS" value="intv -cart "%path\%file%ext" -volume -%volume(32,0) -skip_gameinfo -nowindow" />
    </Emu>
    <Extensions>.int,.zip</Extensions>
    <Active>False</Active>
    <Script>True</Script>
    <Database>False</Database>
</System>

- Copy it and paste it just under
- Change its name to a unique name. You now have:

Code: Select all

<System Type="Console">
    <Name>Mattel Intellivision</Name>
    <AppPath />
    <RomPath />
    <SnapPath />
    <VidPath />
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="Nostalgia" value=""%path\%file%ext" -f" />
      <Cmd id="1" name="MESS" value="intv -cart "%path\%file%ext" -volume -%volume(32,0) -skip_gameinfo -nowindow" />
    </Emu>
    <Extensions>.int,.zip</Extensions>
    <Active>False</Active>
    <Script>True</Script>
    <Database>False</Database>
</System>
<System Type="Console">
    <Name>Mattel Intellivision (Nostalgia)</Name>
    <AppPath />
    <RomPath />
    <SnapPath />
    <VidPath />
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="Nostalgia" value=""%path\%file%ext" -f" />
      <Cmd id="1" name="MESS" value="intv -cart "%path\%file%ext" -volume -%volume(32,0) -skip_gameinfo -nowindow" />
    </Emu>
    <Extensions>.int,.zip</Extensions>
    <Active>False</Active>
    <Script>True</Script>
    <Database>False</Database>
</System>

- Last but not least, in mGalaxy folder > Data, duplicate the 'Mattel Intellivision' folder and rename it exactly as you named the 'new' system in the systems.xml file (in that example: Mattel Intellivision (Nostalgia))

Thank you, worked like a charm! I kinda figured that's how it was done. Didn't want to mess with the system.xml file until I was sure.

-Cheers!
