Title: Running EPSXE w/different plugins
Post by: Sprucemoose on July 29, 2003, 04:36:06 pm
I can run all my Playstation games in my frontend (currently mamewah) using BAT files, but my problem is that the plugins for the games are different and when I run my BAT files it runs the game with the plugins used from the last time I used EPSXE.exe.  Is there a way around this?  

I have Epsxecutor on my cab and have saved my plugin settings there, but I don't know how to run games using epsxecutor from the commandline.

don't know if there is an easier way around this, but you can always have multiple installations of ePSXe in different directories, and then set the games to use whatever install is needed... of course depending on how many configurations you have that could get ugly.. :P

I thought the same thing, but it appears that when I changed the configuration in one directory, it changed the config in all of them.

are you using windows xp? i used to do that multi install when i had 98 installed and now in xp it seems
to be a universal change for all of the games...weird.

You could try the whole file swap/rename thing in your bat file...sloppy but it should work. Just make sure you backup your plugins.

Note: I haven't tried this, but think it SHOULD work...might try tonight if I get bored.  ;D

hmm, dunno if this matters, but i had the cd image and the bats on one driver and the epsxe installs on another
and thats when it was working, maybe that does somehting?
