Whdload launcher with 2 partitions for games?

emuola · 10 November 2009, 21:03

The built-in launcher and Games/Demos updater works fine, but I really don't know

how to assign A-Games for 2 different partitions? The tutorial video had an example with one partition

I have partitions Games1 and Games2 (both just under 2 gigs). First partition has games from 0 to M and second from N to Z. The games are in the root of the drive, there are no alphabetical folders. How do I set the startup prefs so, that *both* these partitions are "mapped" to A-Games? Now I can only have 1 partition. (I'm really not good at dos syntax...)

Running ClassicWBLite 3.1

Forgive my simplicity

*Solution*
It was easier than I thought

I created a new "assign" in the startup for B-Games and then edited the AddGames file to this (just added the B-Games there):

FSearch >RAM: A-Games: B-Games: PAT=#?.info TXT=slave ALL

At least with initial testing it seems to work as it should (picks up the games from both A-Games and B-Games and adds the to the list).

Please comment this, if it's someway wrong/could be done better

If it works, then it works!

Sounds a fine way of doing it to me.
