I have been trying to find a way to chnage the Home folder for pcsx4all so I can have various versions, settings and icons for pcsx4all. I have tried time and time again to setup the toolchain on a windows PC with the various options out there, but no joy.

I grabbed the "source code" for pcsx4all and started looking for something that would point to the ".pcsx4all" directory iin the home folder and I think I "might" of found the file needed to change the "Home" Folder for pcsx4all, but I am not sure... I have spent almost 2 trying to recompile the source code on windows 10 but no joy.

If any of you have time could you please compile the edited files in the link below so I can test it on my RG350 and see if the home folder and icon change to Gran Turismo 2 ?

I have been though all the files in note pad and serached for ".pcsx4all" I only found it appear in port.ccp  and changed it to .gt2retstored

If anyone can compile this for me to test I would be very greatful indeed.

Did you tried to hex edit the executable in the opk file. I've done that for odamex so that I have 4 different save folders. Otherwise, saves states are messed up between wads. The only thing is that you keep the same number of letters for the save folder. I choose .odamd1, .odamd2, .odatnt and .odaplu and it's working perfectly.

Hey fosamax,

Thanks for the reply.... I tried Hex Editor and created new home folders 4 pcsx4all, 2 created the new home folder, the other 2 didn't but still booted games fine...

".pcsx4alq" and ".pcsx4alp" both worked but ".pcsx4al1" and ".pcsx4al2" didn't create the home folders

I changed every instance of .pcsx4all I could find

I don't know why it doesn't work with numbers.
I used 7zip to unsquashfs the opk. Then I used Hxd to edit the executable by searching for the save folder. I changed the icon and repacked with open package creator and choose to keep the desktop file as is. Second choice Iirw.
I will probably do the same in order to have different emulators for smd, SMS, GG and 32x.

OK, Well whatever the reason THANK YOU - I have been trying to crack this for over 6 months so you my friend are a LEGEND !!!!!

Now the amount of things I can do is almost limitless... FinalBurn SDL with compatible different skins and ROMSETS 29, 35 & 44... MAME Packs, by brand or sections liike fighters of shooters instead of just a huge list of games... I have 5000+ icons for games that I can use plus some  stuff I made.... You can repack MAME and include the roms to

Thanks again, I will share whatever I do (except stuff with roms, I will exclude roms and remake them to share)

For Mame, you can also make sym link using winscp in order to being able to load ROMs from the ext SD card.

Wow not sure how to do that... I will google it...

On another note, some of the emulators have suddenly stopped working... 1 min they were fine, then they just stopped booting... its strange... I will have another look later and see if I can figure out what happened

Thanks
again

really appreciate it
