How To Make Gmenu2x Default To A List

[thelamer]

I was wondering if when Gmenu2x started up it was possible to have it display a list by default.

You know to make a selector for an emulator. Not really sure what to edit for that.


And I have been playing with gmenu and know how to make lists from all the zips in a directory. But how can I custom name and select which files in a list. Seeing as I don't want to display all the files in the list.

Just the structure for that would be great.


Thanks.

OK,

I know how to make directory lists with images.

What I am wondering is if you can use Gmenu2x as a menu frontend for an emulator.

So it would launch and the default screen would be the list screen and not the standard menu.

Secondly I would like to know if I can customize what is contained in the lists by manually creating each list entry instead of gmenu listing an entire directory.

I know how to make custom icon entries but not custom lists.

Hope this helps .

erm To cutomise the list names you use an alias file - guidelines will be on the GMenu2X site.
You would also have to add filters to the link file ".zip,.smc" etc...

As for launching straight into selector view, I don't think that is possible, but the man that will definately know is Ryo.

Yeah but by using the list feature you display every file in the directory. Even with alias list a lot of clones for mame and cps2 are useless to show becasue you can't launch them.


I wish Ryo would release a custom build of gmenu2x for this so we could stop using crappy selector programs and actually have screen previews for all our emus.

Ok well I guess booting to a list is out of the question.

How about just creating a custom list?

Anyone know the format for that?

Or if it is possible?
