SK Jukebox and Mamewah
« on: February 07, 2005, 05:20:48 am »
I've just finished setting up the excellent SK Jukebox software and am now trying to integrate it with the equally excellent Mamewah. Is it possible to generate custom lists based on directories containing different genres of music.

i.e. one emulator entry with one list containing:

Rock
Rap
Pop
etc..

TIA for any help.

Did you try the genre function in SKJB?  If you have your music setup like :

C:\Music\Rock
C:\Music\Metal

etc,

you would put in a path of 'C:\Music' and tick the 'First Part Of Directory Is Genre' box under the directory list.

When you load the program, the list of genres are displayed, and can be displayed again using the 'Switch Genres' key (see the Key Mapping section for the value of this key, and change it if you wish).

If this solution does not suit, please let me know.

I don't think that's what he's asking.

Currently my setup is that my "jukebox" emulator list in mamewah has only one entry "Start the jukebox"

I think what he's asking is to have multiple entries in mamewah, each of which would start SK directly into a specified genre. You could do that by adding a command line for the genre for SK but I'm not sure why this is a useful feature, unless you can skin it differently for each genre, in which case it would at least "look" like you're starting something different for every mamewah entry?

Yeah, I thought that might have been the case, I was just making sure that the already existing Genre function had been explored.   :)

Thanks for the excellent feedback guys. I missed the genre switching, it works really well, a command line description of the directory would be nice, enabling lists to be set up in Mamewah but I'm not greedy and switching genre's within SK Jukebox is good enough for me.

Keep up the good work.
