eXoDOS with Hyperlaunch 2

[Roverius]

Hello,

 

I would like to setup eXoDOS (eXoDOS V2) with HL2 but have no clue how to set it up in HyperlaunchHQ

I made allready a new entry, but have not the finest clue what to set for "emulator" "rompath" and "rom extension".

 

I use meagre for the moment, but don't want to use that (unless i don't have a option to use in hyperspin)

 

btw, when i use meagre, the game installs first to the harddisk, but doesn't remove after playing. I think my harddrive will get out of space when playing some of this collection after a while.

 

I have allready the XML file and a module made by djvj

 

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; DOS

; dfend v1.1.0

; by djvj

; 1.1

;

; Notes:

; Blank txt files need to be created for every game

; romPath needs to point to the dir with all the blank txt files

; Setup all your games in the dfend frontend, this script will launch each game using dfend instead of straight dosbox

; This allows for easy editing of dosbox settings in case they are needed

; There is no exit key setup, it is needed for in-game menu usage.

; Controls are done via in-game options for each game.

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

;These GUI settings allow for a much cleaner launch

Gui +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindow

Gui, color, 0

Gui Show, x0 y0 h%A_ScreenHeight% w%A_ScreenWidth%, HSHIDE

 

RunWait, %executable% "%romName%", %emuPath%

Process, WaitClose, DOSBox.exe

Gui Destroy

 

ExitApp

 

CloseProcess:

return

 

 

 

All help is appreciated

 

If anyone know where to find some wheelart, please let me know

 

Regards,

Roverius

Exodos is too huge for me.  I just hand pick my dos stuff and add it manually to Dfend Reloaded.  There's a Dfend module in HL, iirc it was set up like most other systems in HL

Yes, OK, but what to set in hyperHQ? and what to use as emulator? I am completly stuck at this point.

The dosgames run mostly with dosbox, so i dont have any idea how to set things up in hyperlaunchHQ

 

Can you post maybe youre dfend.ini or dos.ini file please or whatever the *.ini file is named under settings.

 

 

I might narrow it down also, would be a bit pointless to add all 5000 games into hyperspin.

 

 

Thanks

I have made a small workaround to get this working

 

1: I use "Meagre" to install the wanted game (e.g.: Commander Keen 1 = CKeen1)

2: I make a shortcut (hyperlink) from the "..\Games\!dos\CKeen1\Commander Keen 1 -  Marooned on Mars (1990).bat" file and name it "CKeen1.lnk"

3. I made a "ROM" folder in my "Emulators/DOS" folder

4. Moved the "CKeen1.lnk into the "ROM" folder

 

This is the DOS.INI setting (just top part)

 

[exe info]

path=

rompath=H:\Hyperspin\Emulators\DOS\roms\

userompath=

exe=

romextension=lnk

parameters=

searchsubfolders=

pcgame=true

winstate=HIDDEN

hyperlaunch=false

Per_Game_Modules=false

 

All works well.

 

Now, the big challenge is to create themes. I have made a default theme so far, but i going to try to make some game specific themes (if i can find some art)
