Create Shortcuts Pointing to Unique Config Files #293

Open monogoat opened 9 years ago

monogoat commented 9 years ago

I am currently setting up my library of PS2 games, and have stumbled on a hindrance using ICE. I am using a different configuration for each game in order to have optimal settings and such, but to do that I have to manually edit each game's launch string after running ice, which in turn removes the custom images that ICE has set. So, I'm basically now doing every PS2 game manually.

It would be great if a variable existed (if it does I've found no reference to it) that would allow me to specify unique paths for each rom, such as using %t for the title of the game. In this case, I could point the config path variable to a folder where I have each set of files labeled by the games filename.

Thanks for the great little program!

I like that suggestion a lot, seems like a good way of solving the problem you are having.

If anyone else is having this same problem, I came up with a temporary solution, saves a couple steps when repopulating with ICE.

Rather than have the switch for the configuration path set by ICE, I added it in steam under "Set Launch Options". This allows the custom icon to remain, though it still needs to be done for every game after you run ICE.
