|
 |
hi guys,
ok i'm a complete noob at this, so maybe i got myself in allot of deep shit, but i want it^^
Does anyone know how to build a program/menu that can operate by using commands from different programs that are started?
Short explaination: I'm building an arcade system, and i want to build my own front-end. So i want to build a menu/program that controls the 5 emulators that i use in the back ground.
Is it possible to make a menu, with buttons and functions that are linked with the functions of the emulators? thechnically i think its possible, if i can do it? we'll see^^

ok i understand that....
but i just want a realy simple front-end. the only options i need is, select the emulator from the main menu, then get a game list, select game and play, thats all.
you know the best way to do this? c++? visual basic?

. For instance, loading ROMs from the command line should be a snap..in that your frontend just passes the needed CL parameters to the emulator involved (like how some frontends work for MAME). But for other complex stuff, like changing settings during emulation via the frontend, I'd say that can't be done, since the emulator would have the main focus. Not unless, you hook certain function calls by the emulator by some sort of API or something....
