Shortcuts Outside The Root Directory ?

[mnm]

Hello,

i would like to create a shortcut for the neogeo emulator but it is located outide the shortcuts root directory (the "game" directory on the SD) because the neogeo folder MUST be placed on the root of the SD from what i read on the README.
So my question is : Is there a way to create a shortcut for a program that isnt on the SD "game" directory?

You could install Win2X, better interface then the standard interface. Can change background and skin, and adding shortcuts is almost automatic. Just hit auto search and tell it where to add the gpe files.

Gmenu2x also works, but I have never used it.

gmenu2x works great. It's simple and looks great after theming. You can also customize it to fit your needs. Here's some screenshots of my setup:

As you can see, I separated each item into sections. I assigned a name, an icon, and a caption to each. I can overclock anything from the menu and also enable RAM tweaks. Rarely the screen effs up and I have to start another emulator/game and quit to fix it, but it's a minor inconvenience and is worth the trouble.

This should be easily possible by writing a little wrapper script and putting it in the game folder. Here is a template:

File: /game/my-wrapper.ini

[info]
name="My wrapper"
path="/my-wrapper/my-wrapper.gpe"
icon="/my-wrapper/my-icon.png"

File: /game/my-wrapper/my-wrapper.gpe

#!/bin/sh
cd /mnt/sd/path/to/my-app
exec ./my-app.gpe

(BTW make sure your editor uses Unix line endings when you save the .gpe script.)
