Wii Emulator - launch from Theater View
« on: February 09, 2018, 05:49:14 pm »

So the latest version of Dolphin (Wii emulator) finally is good enough that I set it up on my main family room TV.  I have created a new menu item called Wii Games, and added options to launch whatever game I choose.  It works well, but is kind of ugly, and not super expandable.

Is it possible the set up a view that instead of launching video or audio files, the play list would launch a batch file?  Could I also add cover art to that view? 

If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.  Basically, I would just create a batch file that launches the game ISO.  Just in case someone is wondering, the ISO's were created from my own discs that I own.

I have imported bat files I have made for each game. For those I can add metadata and image also. I can then execute bat file just like I would start movie or song.

I don't see a way in auto import to import bat files.  Do you remember how you set it up?

I managed to get it working the way I wanted.  I basically created a batch file that takes the filename as an argument, and then made that the default player for .iso files (the only iso files I have are games).  I then imported the iso's as a video file, and created a specific view in Theater View to view/launch them.  Works great.
