coinops lite sunset adding new roms question

[chrisrlink]

hi so rather that downloading the massive version i opted to add stuff to the lite version only problem is when i added say n64 or psx roms/isos to the correct folders it doesn't reflect in coinops what am i doing wrong?

[arfows]

is it just those two emulators with the problem of not showing up?

I think CoinOps requires more than just dropping ROMS into folders.

I didn't get too deeply into it, but there's some procedure involved in having ROMS show up.

add games, page 9-13

add preview video or screenshot, page 26

you'll need to create pointers (empty files) for every ROM, I don't think the name matters, just needs to be in FATX format

one thing that i don't like about coinops its that will only display videos, there's no image preview support

another thing about coinops, its that the n64 emulator its very picky, its hard to know if a game its supported by the emulator

best thing for building a custom coinops pack, its to download the massive* version and copy from there

you can create empty files  with this batch script:

md pointers
for %%g in (*.zip) do type nul >"pointers\%%g"
