Just a suggestion, would it be possible to delete individual games from within DDLaunch? or is this limited to just outside the program.

DDlaunch is quite a simple program. All it does is scan the configuration folder and make a few changes. The easiest way to remove games is to move the config files elsewhere and refresh the list. Don't put them in a subfolder as DDlaunch scans subfolders too.

Yeah, I've just deleted them from the config and game folder which works fine. Problem is adding HDF files to the configuration file. I've done a HDF file for Crystal Dragon with the kickstarts and WHDLoad (Latest), but it doesn't recognise the configuration file in DDLaunch. I've deleted the DDConfig.dat and prefs to start over. Checked to make sure the game works through WinUAE by loading the configuration file, which it does. Then, when I launch DDLaunch64 starting anew it cannot recognise the game. It is in the game folder (hdf with artwork) and configuration folder (uae file). Does DDLaunch look for specific named games, such as AGA, CD32, modifications etc...??

DDLaunch does scrape the config names but it's only used for the filter. For DDLaunch to run a config it needs to be in the configurations folder and the game data in the games folder. To parse the config correctly the game paths need to be formatted the same as DD does with relative paths.

Check some of Damiens config files and make sure that your paths are set up the same.

Cheers for the info. I will be doing some more digging in this. I am currently using portable mode for the emulator.

Would it be possible to have DDLaunch remember the last game played? so next time DDLaunch runs the previous game played would always be highlighted.

Yeah. Shouldn't be too hard to add.

[AntiPontifex]

Could you possibly include a game ratings feature? (Like scraping Lemon Amiga, for example)? Thanks.

@mrv2k - stupid question but when I run a game from DDLaunch it just brings up the Winuae GUI instead running the game. Is this normal or is there any option to auto-launch the game from within DDLaunch?

Untick where it says "Show WinUAE GUI"

It is unticked but it still brings up the GUI.

EDIT: Actually fixed it by ticking "Showing WinUAE GUI" and then un-ticking it again.

Nothing I can do about it really. It's a purebasic thing.
