First off a quick apology if this is deemed out of bounds as its not strictly Arcade-related...
I use Mamewah as a FE, and along with Mame I run the modded WinUae (modded for ESC as quit key). However, creating all the individual config files to load the right diskfile is a game-by-game process (and there are a LOT of games) - and I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was any kind of script that would automate the process.... The settings stay the same for 95% of games, so all that needs to be changed is the diskfile name in the UAE file.
The UAE files are just standard txt files with lines like:
floppy0=df0.adf
floppy0type=0
floppy1=df1.adf
floppy1type=0
floppy2=df2.adf
so its easy to see what txt needs to be added. Basically what I'm after is a util that will look in a directory, read the filenames (e.g. pang.adf) and create a file pang.uae with all the standard settings and place the line "floppy0=pang.adf" in place of "floppy0=df0.adf"
I'm sure it would be reasonably straightforward to also check for stuff like pangmk5(disk 2 of 2).adf and add it to floppy2=... instead of in a new config(as there is a naming convention at
www.tosec.info)
Apologies to all those rolling on the floor at my lack of VB or scripting language to write my own little proggy/script. Maybe I should learn. I do work in IT too.... ;-)
I've got some webspace too so I'd be happy to host collections of configs once they are known working, as this can be the challenge for some picky games in WinUAE.
Thoughts/solutions/jokes/abuse all welcome....
