Emulators

This is where you fill in information, telling StarLaunch which emulators you're using.


Topics

Auto button Auto configure all emulators with profiles on your computer. StarLaunch asks you for a folder to start searching for emulators from. StarLaunch will look in the htmlprofiles folder, and read each profile for information the emulators the profile is configured for (you must have profiles for all of your emulators, otherwise this doesn't work).
Manually adding an emulator Kinda tedious, but: Select the group you want to add the emulator to, from the combobox in the top left corner of the panel.

Click New.

StarLaunch will ask you for a name, put whatever you want, but you can't change it later, without removing and readding the emulator, so choose wisely.

Click on the ellipse coolbutton (the flat thing with the ... on it) on the right of the path textbox, and you'll get a menu. You can either tell StarLaunch directly where the exe is, or have StarLaunch search for it. You have to enter the emualtors' exe to use the search feature. Choose what you like, and fill out the information.

Now you have to enter the parameter order for the emulator. This is order of how parameters are passed to the emulator. For most emulators, it's %rompath%%rom% %params%, but if you're configuring some arcade emulators, you only need to put %rom% %params% in there.

Then tell StarLaunch where the profile for the emulator is. You do need a profile to use the emulator, and if there isn't one, you'll have to make one.

Default emulator Select the emulator that StarLaunch uses when one isn't is selected. If you want to select a default emulator, use the top left combobox to select the group you want to modify, select the emulator from the combobox below it, then click on Default, and the text at the bottom of the panel should reflect the change.
Removing an emulator You can remove an emulator from the list of available ones. Select the group from the groups combobox, select the emulator, and click remove. StarLaunch will ask you to confirm this, and will remove the group if you say Yes.
