PS2Lunch

Introduction
  PS2Lunch is a simple launcher for PCSX2.
  Newer version PCSX2 is create configs on my documents folder, and my favorite launcher was unusable.
  Then I decided to create a launcher.
  (Umm.. I didn't know the configuration file portable.ini...)

Assumes
  This launcher created by Visual C# 2010 Express Edition.
  .NET Framework 4.0 is required.
  This launcher only tested on Windows XP.

How to use(Quick)
  1.Push "PS2Lunch Setup" button, and set PCSX2.EXE path for default.
    If you will manage memorycard on PS2Lunch, set to memorycard related checkbox.

  2.Push "New Profile" button, and setup to game profile.
    Title is required, and others are optional.
    If you set to "Serial", PS2Lunch might be able to display images on main window.

  3.Push "Config Save Start" button, since the launch PCSX2, please look for the best setting.


Display image
  If exist image files in "ImageCatalogue" folder, display images which filename match the serial.
  ex. serial SLUS-00001, can display image with filename "SLUS-00001_00.jpg","SLUS-00001-01.gif", and others...


About catalogue.txt
  If exist "catalogue.txt" file, you can seach titles on search window.


Memorycard manegement
  If you set option "Create new memorycard...." and PS2Lunch haven't memorycard folder,
  create memorycard folder and new unformated 8MB  memorycard file.
  You can use other type memorycard file -- ex. 16MB memorycard file , formated 8MB memorycard file ... -- ,
  put "emptyMemcard.ps2" in PS2Lunch's folder, and use the file instead of new memorycard file.
  "Memorycard group" mean share the memorycard with same group games.
  When you start a game, and use the memorycard which is most recently run game's. 

  On version 1.0 or later, you can import from .psu/.max/.cbs/.sps/.xps/.psv savedatas into memorycard.
  Set some memory options.

  ** ATTENTION : please backup memorycard files when you will use memorycard options **


Savestate management
  If you set option "Save savestate files...", savestate files copy to PS2Lunch's folder.
  Would you forget newest savestate file's slot number?
  When you set option "Savestate files sort order by new.", newest statesave file set to slot 0.


Tree view
  You can create some category with tree view.
  Rating, PCSX2 version, genre, etc...
  When you create a new tree, you can add to member with dragdrop action.


Tools
  PS2CatalogueMakeUS.exe make "catalogue.txt" file and image files from us.playstation.com.
  (This application is buggy. If you cannot get catalogue datas , try again.)

  PCSX2ProfileManagerToPS2LunchConverte.exe can convert from PCSX2 Profile Manager's configurations
  to PS2Lunch's configurations.


Launguage File
  If you would like to make a translation file, create language_XX.ini (*), and PS2Lunch search it automatically.
  You can find Language option in Setup-Design tab.

  (*)XX is Locale ID.
     DE means German, FR means French, ZH means Chinese.
     ZH-HANS means Simplified Chinese and ZH-HANT means Traditional Chinese, and others.
