AutoBoot of games?

Post by Harris590 »

I was wondering if it were possible to have scummVM autoboot a game? I would like to make a channel for either Maniac Mansion or Maniac Mansion Enhanced and as soon as I select the channel it starts the game. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

I thought I wrote something about this before but I, in your post dcnigma, but I guess not.

I don't have an answer but at least it's some sort of reply.
To tell you the truth when I see posts about wanting to auto-boot a game I think to myself 'oh just get over it and use the menu' but you have a right to ask so forget what I think. On top of that I never use any of the homebrew that gives you a channel for each homebrew title or things like DOSBox front-ends. It's just bloatware to me but that's just the way I am.

I don't know if it's possible. There's one person I know who could answer. Dhewg who takes care of the Scummvm port. You might of seen he's name in connection with Team Twiizers as well.

He's on irc more and so maybe Hackmii or Wiibrew will list the channel that they use a lot/the most and you might catch him that way.

Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help. At least both of you won't feel you're being ignored anymore.
