NEW Fast Teknoparrot configuration method

[Mr.Miguardi]

Hi!
I was searching for a fast method to configure Teknoparrot with LaunchBox, (i am writing some tutorial for my site) and every guide i found are using the "TXT method", creating a txt file for every TP games... it works but it's a useless work!

After some search i found this new method, i haven't found any tutorial talking about his so i decided to show here my method.

Add Teknoparrot emulator as always but in the "Default command line parameters" use this "--profile=%romfile%.xml" and enable all the 3 option below like in the first pics.
You need to inserti that command line also in the associated platform tab (pics 2)

After that instead of creating a txt file for each game, simply import the .xml file of that game placed in the "GameProfile" folder of Teknoparrot.
For those who don't know each xml file represent a game supported by TP.

Now you don't need to manually edit every game and insert his own command line parameters because it will load directly the xml file and TP will load automatically the game.

Maybe someone are already using this method, i don't know but i haven't heard about that.

That’s how I run most of my Teknoparrot games as well.

I think the .txt goes back to pre LB adding startup screens and using that method to work with RocketLauncher. I have a game or two still using that method as RL’s window hiding until game start works better for a few games  than LB’s basic timed hiding of startup screen.

Thanks for posting the write up. The xml file method has been on our forum for a while. Its been mentioned in more than a few posts but usually buried in the pages. So it is definitely nice having it in a clean thread. That txt method is definitely old.

I think TXT method still useful only for LaunchBox RL users for importing and creating the games list to pass at RL since you need however to configure each game manually .

You can use txt or xml to import.

I wish I had seen this before I spend days doing TeknoParrot manually !! ?

Hi, i'm configuring now before games on TeknoParrot platform, but exists a general setting Joystick for all games  or i must configure it one by one game ????

It's incredible because i have more then 100 games and it's very hard to set all individually.

Any of you have a fast solution ??

Thanks...
