Rocketlauncher / Hyperspin db's

[HorsePin]

Ok I have a way of using RocketLauncher which is great. I'm going to write an item generator and will run through databases and then I just can pick & choose which games without manually creating them.

It would be easier if we called the item & type in the commands and then could do away with having to set a filename in the .itm.?

"title" "robocop"
"type" "MAME"

"app"
{
	"name"		"RocketLaunch"
	"executable"		"I:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe"
	"filetypes"
	{
		"zip"
	}
	"filespaths"
	{
		"path0"
		{
			"path"		"I:\Roms\Arcade Roms\Mame Stripped\"
			"type"		"mame"
			"extensions"
			{
				"zip"		"zip"
			}
		}
	}
	"screenspath"		"I:\RocketLauncher\Media\Mame Artwork\snap\"
	"marqueespath"		"I:\RocketLauncher\Media\Mame Artwork\marquee\"
	"commands"		"-s MAME -r $QUOTE$SHORTFILE$QUOTE"
	"logourl"		""
	"acquireurl"		""
	"title"		"RocketLaunch MAME"
	"description"		"Lancher for frontends"
	"disabled"		"0"
}

This way would also need multiple .app files created for each system. Another thing here would be good to have one RL .app and supply its system on launch. The screens/marquee path is set but not really used. As I generate the items I'll add the link directly to the item.

The extensions do not really need to be set because that's all handled inside RL.
Same as the Rom path.

Here is an item generator. This saves lots of time because you can just go in now and spawn a cabinet with all the screen/marquee filled and insti-launch with rocketlauncher. It builds from Hyperspin databases but you can also supply a rom folder and use the Gen Roms button.

Little video to show how handy it is with RL :) Was hit with some laggage but you get the picture.
