.lnk taito type 2

[hocuslocus]

I've gone through the forums and thankfully I finally got it working fine. There is one thing that I would like to know for future reference. I can get the games to load when I add the extension .lnk after [ROMPATH] like [ROMPATH].lnk. 

TaitoSC is just the shortcut file the SFIV.lnk is located

but if for whatever reason I had more then one extension I would assume it would not work. any help would be appreciated. thank you

 

the .map file

SFIV.lnk|SFIV

 

console window after trying you can see no extension

F:\GameEx>F:

F:\GameEx>CD "F:\Taito Type X\Roms\ArcadePC Loader\TaitoSC"

ECHO is on.

"F:\Taito Type X\Roms\ArcadePC Loader\TaitoSC\SFIV"

ECHO is on.

F:\Taito Type X\Roms\ArcadePC Loader\TaitoSC>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .

Never used a MAP file for lnk files. Not sure why you are, it's a shortcut and you can name it anything you like.

That being said, your map is probably the issue? It's been a minute since I manually made one, but dies it will without that?

I'll be damned that was it. I just assumed you had to create one. this is the first emulator I setup in game ex besides mame of course. and no it's the first is path, second is name, unless we are talking about something different. I tried to modify the second one and it modified my name to .lnk, not sure if that's what your supposed to do though.

thank you very much.
