Playlists with Rocketlauncher


Coptimus

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I haven't fully gone down the playlist path as I'm waiting for the automatic population of system specific lists, but I did use the feature to broadly auto populate a list for Midway and Bally and I've also used lightspeed mamelister to create the same kids of system lists.

I notice that when I do this, these playlists show up in rocketlauncher. I use bezels, fade screens, and backgrounds via rocketlauncher. However, rocketlauncher is looking for that stuff in the mame media folder. How are you guys getting around this?  Are you moving associated media files to a separate media directory in rocketlauncher to match the playlist name?

I actually renamed ARCADE to MAME for this very reason.

The issue is if I add playlists as a platform.  When I do that, they will automatically become a system in Rocketlauncher.  At this point, Rocketlauncher looks for media in a folder named after the system.

If I add simply as a playlist, this is a non issue.  However, I would like the playlist to show up with the platforms in BigBox so that a user doesn't have to back out and hit "show playlists."

I don't know what I've done different, but I've created a few playlists using auto populate again.  I have the box checked to show up as a platform.  A system is created in Rocketlauncher, but now the system name of "MAME" is being sent to Rocketlauncher (confirmed via Rlauncher log), meaning no issues.

What I may have done originally was not limit the platform to "mame" when creating the playlist.  Obviously, I have my ARCADE platform named MAME.

So...I'm waiting for someone to create the All Killer No Filler playlist :-)
