Add EXE to Lazarus? Or Option Buttons?

[Demon-Seed]

Hi,
I am running the older version of Laz 3.  something, and I know have it running just great with mame .62 and all other emulators. What I wanted to do was get it so that I could have exe show up in a list or something..like when I changed emulators have ARCADE JUKEBOX and one option that would load up arcade jukebox mp3 player... can this be done and how could I do it? I would also like to have it so that I may be able to load up exe games like pc games? is there any way to do this I am not sure and I do not know how to do it? If it is not possible is there anyway to make a menu that would say hit enter to 1 to load lazarus hit 2 to load jukebox? anyone assist me in this quest? I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Jim

You have to make a dat file of the exe's your are wanting to add to a list via izraham's dat maker.  Then you have to add the path to each exe as if it was a rom path.  Then you use command launcher 2.0 which accepts a "null" value as a emulator exe.  You can also do this for mp3's or anything you can think of, as long as it can be launched via the command line.    

And no you can't run a jukebox and an emulator at the same time. You probably never will be able to as it causes channel conflicts and hinders performance of both the jukebox and the emulator.  You see they both try to use the primary sound channel, and if your sound card happens to have enough channels(most cards do) whatever is bumped to a secondary channel is going to perform slightly worse on most systems.
