How to load Taito Type X games in Launchbox

[legolas119]

Hi, i would like to add my Taito Type X/X2 and NesiCa Live games in Launchbox. Currently i'm playing them with TypeXtra frontend. I read this tutorial 

but it is not so clear...

I have my TypeXtra frontend folder, with the TypeXtra.exe file that i run in order to see my games list. Then, every game has its own folder, with its files. Every game has one of these configurations:

or this:

or like this:

I think that  I can't load as usually the roms+emulator from Tool --> Import --> Roms Files. Probably I have to manually add every game, with ADD button in LB and add every game details, am I right? If so, I'm not sure what I have to choose, for every game, in this form:

I suppose I have to enter the the Jconfig.exe (or the pad_config.exe) in the "Configuration Application Path" field, but i don't know what i have to enter in the "Application Path": the "Launch file" value or the "Exe File" value that you can see in my previous TypeXtra screenshots? If both these file are necessary to Launchbox, where I have to enter them?

 

thank you

Hey - I wrote TypeXtra. I'm sure specifically how Lauchbox works, but you just need it to construct a command line from a set of 'ROMS' You create shortcuts for each game:

http://magoarcade.org/docs/doku.php?id=software:typextra:start#shortcuts

and then point your front end to it where it should treat shortcuts as roms. You can then setup TypeXtra as an 'emulator' and then send it a command line built from the 'romname' 

Sorry can't be more specific as don't use Launchbox, but sure someone here would know how to achieve this?

Hope helps
