/ / |__MORPHOS MAME ICON PROJECT: MAMEcons___________________|
/ / | |
/ / | Games Love Icons, give that ROM what it wants! |
/ / | |
/ | MAMEcons aren't just icons, but mini-scripts to launch |
/ | |
/ | a MAME game with the arguements. |
_________|________________________________________________________|
NEW: Many instructions and comments removed from scripts.
Uses $gamepath, which is initially set to "MAME:".
All games given the "JOYPAD" arguement by default.
About: SNK was creating video games from the mid-80's until
just around 2001. The last effort of SNK was the
hand-held NeoGeo Pocket. Their "big" NeoGeo was a
staple in many arcades, bars, and even Naval vessels!
Installation: Assign your MAME directory as "MAME:" in your
Startup-Sequence. Copy the start-file and icon to
the location of your choice.
-OR-
Change the default $gamepath variable in the MAMEcon
script like so:
set gamepath "Path:to/MAME/Directory"
Usage: Launch game by double clicking the icon. Some games
will ask for a screenmode, this can be changed in
the configuration.
Icons: Alpha Mission II, 3 Count Bout, Paradius, Ryujin
Centipede, Crossed Swords, Dark Seal, Three Kokushi,
Captain America & The Avengers, Aurail, Meta Fox,
Quiz and Dragons, Mouja, Burger Time, Dynasty Wars
Configuration: Use an editor to change the arguments given to MAME
for the game. There are two configuration lines and
further instructions in the text file.
set gamename <name-of-rom> ; do not use .zip
set mameargs <arguements> ; example "window"
Exceptions: MAMEcons are not a game-manager replacement. The best
use for MAMEcons are for a shortcut to a few favorite
games.
Participation: MAMEcons is an open project. To make your own, use
your favorite window/screen grabber to make a PNG
image of the game-screen. Reduce the size of the
image (1/3 or 1/2 usually works), and rename the
picture from FILE.png to FILE.info.
Using an editor, open an existing MAMEcon and change
the $VER: line, the gamename, and the arguements.
Save as the new FILE, where FILE is the same as the
icon name.
This readme may be included, and changed as
necissary for any new MAMEcons. As a minimum,
Change the "Short:, "Uploader," and "Author" above.
Optionally, bump the "Pack:" number, and include
a description (such as 002 Atari, 003 Capcom).
A Name list may be included. Do not attach the
rom files themselves.
Legal: This software is provided "as is," with no warranties of
any kind. Use at your own risk. Please see the legal
description included with MAME for the terms and
conditions for using MAME.
