Hi,
I had some question about hierarchical Multiconfiguration in AtomicFe.
This post give some guide lines waiting the multiconfiguration wizard.
There is a tutorial in the folder docs\Francais\old called multiconf_tutorial. Unfortunaly it is in French and it refers to the first version of Atomic but i think i could help you. (not to much blabla, and step by step screenshots)
There is also the HTML documentation in English which talk about the multiconfig mode.
Some guide-lines :
- First create all your configuration individually and give them a specific name.
ex :
FightingGame.cfg
PuzzleGame.cfg
ShootGame.cfg
Put them in a directory , you can call : MameConfigs
- in the MameConfigs folder create a text file called : FullList.txt
Fill the file like that :
FightingGame "Fighting Games"
PuzzleGame "Puzzle Games"
ShootGame "Shoot them up"
Then create a master config ( Atomic.cfg)
On the general tab : Select "this config is a Conf selector"
then go on the Folder Tabs.
Make point the "Repertoire Config" (not translated oups..) to the folder : MameConfigs you just created.
Make point the "Metadata Folder" to the folder : MameConfigs too. (in fact the folder which contains the fulllist.txt)
Save the config in the same folder than Atomic.exe and give the name Atomic.cfg.
So now, if you run Atomic , you should see your 3 selections in the menu
Fighting Games
Puzzle Games
Shoot them up
To select Puzzle Games, select it , and press "player 1 Start" as if you want to run a game.
When you will be on the Puzzle Games menu and you want go back to the previous selection screen press "player 2 start".
Hoping it helps you.
