WinAPE - Launching Amstrad GX4000 carts (possible solution?)

[JedExodus]

First post, hello!

Have all have been trying to get WinAPE running GX4000 carts through Launchbox with little success. Searching the forums the only solution I've found is to use Rocket launcher which I don't want to do.

BUT for the few that care, it seems this guy found the solution years ago.

It involves changing the .ini everytime you launch a different game in WinAPE using a batch file.

 

I tried last night to write my own batch files for the first time ever and my own .ini for one game (before I read the blog post I linked) Outside launchbox I could get the batch to change .ini so the correct cart was loaded, but couldn't automate the process of launching WinAPE successfully without errors and the cart not loading. Inside LB my bats seemed to have no effect because they didn't have a launcher (like the solution some use for ScummVM) 

 

Anyways, this dude seems to have done that, will try when I get home. Although you'll have to write .ini files for each game theres only a handful of them at least!

 

Hopefully this helps someone

LB is awesome and so is the community, been lurking for months now with nothing to contribute untill this point, big thanks to all the contributors and developers.
