Hi,

Where can I get a compiled latest version of Picklelauncher?

I am trying to use Picklelauncher to pass the zipped ROM filename to the existing MAME 106.

I am using the Picklelauncer version 0.10 from PanPlayer which wants to extract the contents of the zip even though I have turned the internal zip support off in config.txt.

I checked the SVN and noticed a bug fix:
http://picklelauncher.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/picklelauncher?view=revision&revision=6

“Fix to zip support if not used, but zips are valid files in the profile.txt”

I don't have my cross-compiler setup at the moment.

Can someone please compile the latest Picklelauncer and post it? Thanks.

Of course the source is always the latest ;-)
Try pulling from the n64 emu or the snes9x emu pnd's, those should be pretty recent. Latest version should show 0.20.

Thanks Pickle,

I tried the one from snes9x and it works.

It loads the entire directory listing of many MAME ROMS very quickly.

Now is there a way to pass user selected command line options using it?

If you try the current mame106.pnd you have to select screen size every time.

I see at the Wiki:

http://pandorawiki.org/PickleLauncher#Buttons_on_Right-hand_Side

"Buttons on Right-hand Side" how do I enable this feature?

Also I think the last profile.txt example in the Wiki is no longer valid with v0.20.

thanks, good you got it to work ;-)

if the argument can be passed to the target application then yes a detected file can be configured to use any value listed in the profile.txt.

Are there no large buttons on the right? That part of the wiki just describes what buttons should be there. But I think i gave the option to make not show up, which would be in the config.txt. You could just rename the existing config.txt and then load mame, it should create a new config.txt with the defaults.

Also I think the last profile.txt example in the Wiki is no longer valid with v0.20.

Yes i believe this the case, there some things I have not updated. But if you or anyone else wants to update things that are wrong feel free.
