100+ Systems on Main Menu is the goal, but I could use a little help.

I feel kind of stupid for not looking here for more systems XD Thank you.

 

Windows 9x, win xp, win metro, Xbox, 360, xbone, ps3, ps4, vita..... No, just no.

What do you mean "no"?

Windows 9x - PC games from the 90s on Windows

Windows XP - Turn of the century PC games

Win Metro - Anything PC in the Modern Era

XBOX/X360/X1/PS3/PS4/Vita - All are in my system by either using the PC version of a game, streaming, or hooked through a streaming console.

No Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Daphne or ScummVM, PC-Engine, PC-Engine CD? You could Also add the Neo-Geo MVS for the arcade expereince, althought you can add the same arcade difficulty with the AES version.

 

Just go to the Hyperlist and see all the systems you can add there.

could you possibly share your Magnavox Odyssey setup somewhere?

 

I don't have it setup as of yet. I'm just getting the new Main Menu XML in order first, then I will start setting up the actual game lists and emulators, etc.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum: I actually just added this to a list of systems to do some research on a few moments ago.

Daphne: I have it labelled as Laserdisc Arcade, but it's there :)

PC-Engine & PC-Engine CD: I have the TurboGrafx-16 and TurboGrafx-CD, are these not the same thing?

ScummVM: I just added this to the list today actually :)

Neo Geo MVS: I thought about adding this, but I've got the AES setup with the UniBios, so I can just flip to the arcade version if I am feeling coiny. haha

Thank you for the suggestions :)

 

:no:

 

lol k... thanks for the clarification?

 

Impressive. Although I cant imagine even scrolling through 100 systems to find the one I wanted.

Hmmm... you make a good point. I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to come up with a creative solution methinks.

Solution is to not add things that aren't even emulated or break up PC games by Windows version lol

Solution to what? lol I don't understand what that is supposed to solve.

Games don't have to be emulated to be launched through HyperSpin. The PCLauncher in RocketLauncher does way more than just play PC games.

What's wrong with having different era's of Windows titles? There is significant differences between a Windows 95 title to something like the new Deus Ex: Mankind Divided game.

Hell, people split "PC Games" and "Steam Games" up, and that seems even more ludicrous since they are the exact same things. lol

EDIT: Re-read what you had quoted (DOH XD), but I'm leaving this here because my points still remain :P

Making an xbone/ps4 etc wheel just to add their PC equivalents in it is stupid. So you stream to your PC as well? What do you do, pop in disc in your PS4 and go to hyperspin and select that title in the ps4 wheel just to make it cool? lol

 

Don't be a fluffer

Why is that stupid? Once the game loads, it's not like you can really tell the difference. You're still using a controller, playing the exact same game lol. Unless you actually looked at the files where the game was being launched from or paid real close attention in the "options menu" you'd never have the slightest clue that you weren't playing the console game. I think it's actually pretty awesome.

Also no, I don't buy physical discs anymore so all my games on each systems HDD. In their HyperSpin wheels I have a "Stream from Hardware" entry in each wheel that pulls up the streaming app, and the controller navigates just like it normally would to the game, and viola. Playing them just like normal. 

The goal of my main project is to be able to play all my games on one screen, though one machine, using one controller.

It's kind of hard to do that if I have to switch to another input (or TV), so I can turn on another system, using another controller. lol

The nuon isn't not emulated sadly so no games work there, Xbox is not really emulated either not the 360 not ps4 or Xbox one

 

Probably has the few games for it that were released on other platforms under that category to select and play them like with the console games that are PC version lol

Open your RocketlauncherUI media folder. All the system icons and official names are there to give you some ideas.

 

RocketLauncher\RocketLauncherUI\Media\Icons

 

It doesn't matter if there is no official database for it in the hyperlist link mentioned above as you can make your own based on the systems roms.

Aw that sucks, I didn't know that about the Nuon. Not that I'm surprised, it didn't seem particularly popular haha.

Also, I know there isn't an Xbox/X360/X1/PS3/PS4 emulator. I either use the PC version under that console's wheel so it looks like you're playing them, or I have an entry that pulls up a streaming app which boots my console up and then plays it all the same.

You know, I really don't know what your problem is or why you have to continually try and shit on what I'm doing with my build. You've already stated your opinion.

You don't like it.... Good for you.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who wouldn't do it my way, just as there are plenty of people who think it's a good idea. I don't really care either way though, because "I" like FEELING like my system has those modern games in it.

It's not like you can tell the difference anyway.

Yeah I usually just create an XML from my own library anyway. The amount of content in the official XMLs is overkill in my opinion. Not to mention they all have those ridiculous tags in parenthesis.

Which I guess is good if you're trying to get an accurate archive, but I just want a list of games, by name lol.

Plus I use a lot of custom naming schemes, like properly naming sequels:

Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider 2

Tomb Raider 3 - Adventures of Lara Croft

Tomb Raider 4 - Chronicles

Tomb Raider 5 - The Last Revelation

Tomb Raider 6 - Angel of Darkness

Tomb Raider 7 - Legend

Tomb Raider 8 - Underworld

or pushing pre-title phrases to the end:

Street Fighter 2, Super

Ghostbusters 2, New

(Imagine how much fun THAT was in Super Nintendo's wheel... lol)

or outright removing or changing stuff:

Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island > "Yoshi's Island"

Probotector > Contra - Probotector

Akumajō Dracula X: Chi no Rondo > Castlevania - Rondo of Blood

Etc etc.
