suggestion about relative path

Post by nayo »

i have a suggestion about pathing issue...

lets suppose you have a folder called

Console
with inside: emulator files
Roms folder
Romcenter Portable folder
Temp folder

under preference you set the temp folder, and the pathing of the database and the emulator executable...

now if you copy Console folder on an usb stick suddenly romcenter run from the usb stick cannot find the correct path:


it looks for D:\Console\emulator.exe

while for example the correct path should be J:\Console\emulator.exe or could be: .\..\emulator.exe

would it be possible to add relative pathing ?

so instead of: D:\Console\Temp .\..\Temp
D:\Console\Romcenter\romcenter\datas\database.rdt .\romcenter\datas\database.rdt

Hi

Romcenter is usually not installed for each emulator. It is installed once in a pc. Now, if you reference roms directly on an external device , it keeps the device id and can link to it later, even if the drive letter is not the same.
So, copy your roms on your external device, and add them in romcenter from there.
