Dingux (Dingoo Linux) > Games & Homebrew

Probably a stupid question - ROM locations

amyj:
As topic, probably a stupid question, but I'm new to all of this, so don't want to cock things up from the start!

Where do I put my ROM's for the Dingux emulators to play them?
Do they have to be on my mini sd card, or can I load them onto the on-board flash memory of the Dingoo, and load the from there?
Will I have to add each title to Dmenu before I'm able to play them , or can I laod them from the emulators?

Any info would be appreciated - I want to try this all out this afternoon, but will first have to get around my corrupted sd card!

Yes.

So no big choice if it's corrupted.

codiak:
You dont have to make a Dmenuconfig entry for roms.
Some Emulators have a menu where you can load the roms.
Others needs the "Selector" enabled in the Dmenuconfig to start a rom.

Where would I go to do that?

demon cleaner:
Edit your menu_emulators.cfg file, here's f.ex. mine for Snes9x emulator:


--- Quote ---MenuItem Snes9x
{
Icon = "res/emulators/snes9x.png"
Name = " Snes9x"
Executable = "./Snes9x"
WorkDir = "/usr/local/emulators/snes9x"
Selector = yes
}
--- End quote ---

You see the line Selector = yes.
