Donkey Me

[dugan26]

Hi All -

Has anyone ever seen the files Donkey Me - It's donkey kong original with different "skins" like Star Wars etc ... 

Is there a way to integrate this into Launchbox / BB?

Looks like its an executable all bundled up in one file.

Many thanks

Drag the EXE to LB, in the wizard that appears select "None of the Above" and go through the import wizard like you would doing anything else.

Hi - 

Followed instructions (i think) 

Dragged it the exe into LB
followed the none of the above directions and went through wizard
When selecting Donkey Me .....
LB and BB both launch a windows window instead of playing the game.
LB and BB do the same thing

What did i do wrong?

See pics

As it's an executable, check that the Emulation tab under the game's Edit Game has the "Use an emulator to play this game" box unchecked.
And then set it up under the Launching tab.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Will try that ...

Where is the Launching Tab located? Use Emulator is not checked 

Thanks for your help

It's just above DOSBox in your posted image.

oops - thanks but same results 

this is the correct path ----

[dugan26]

Never mind!

Solved ---

Thank You - 

User error - i had two versions of it and was pointing to wrong one .... 

Deepest apologies - that worked!!!!

May i be bold enough to ask one more question?

Having this one game in BigBox as a stand alone is a bit odd - 

Can i group this into another category? Like Arcade ? or something else?

How can i move this into something else, instead of having one game on my BB wheel?

This may be a stupid question but ----- I am almost there! so figured i give it a try

Yeah you can edit it and change its platform to whatever you want.

In the Metadata section.

Thank You

If you add it to your Windows platform you'll be able to scrape metadata and download images from the LaunchBox Games Database for it.
