Title: ApeLauncher 1.0 (Amstrad with WinAPE)
Post by: empardopo on September 25, 2013, 05:50:47 am

This launcher only works with WinAPE emulator. You can find the last version of WinAPE (2.0a18) in its web (http://www.winape.net/).

ApeLauncher works with two files, ApeLauncher.exe y ApeLauncher.ini

The first is the executable and the second the ini file.
Both must be in the same directory and in the directory of the emulator WinAPE.

The ini file contains the following:

Code: [Select]

[Path]
GamesCPR=C:\WinAPE\JuegosCPR\
GamesDSK=C:\WinAPE\JuegosDSK\
In GamesCPR you must set the path of .cpr type files.
In GamesDSK you must set the path of .dsk type files.

I have my games divided into two different folders.
In MALA, we will have to set two different emulators, one for our .cpr games and other one for .dsk games.

The ApeLauncher.exe needs two parameters:
The first one will be the name of the game without the path.
The second one will be the word CPR or DSK.

An example could be,the next:

Code: [Select]

ApeLauncher.exe "Batman-TheMovie.zip" CPR
Yes, we can launch games in zip format.

We also can use ApeLauncher.exe with the –help parameter, and we'll see the next window

If we have an error we get the following window

Obviously, as you will usually work with an arcade this window is visible only a few seconds automatically closing after a few seconds.

Hi

Does it work with 2.0 Beta 18 - the latest release? I can't seem to get it working but then not getting errors either. Just and autohotkey starts and nothing...
