Background:

I wrote this program after a nice "old-school-game-night" Party with some friends.

It was a lot of fun to play the old games again, but the Emulators themself sucked. All the time we had to stand up from the

Couch to switch Roms / Disks and change the configuration (specially on WinUAE).

So the beginning task was a Launcher for WinUAE which selects the needed Disks of a game automatically to the virtual drives.

After a few days the program grows and now has a bunch of features as you can add all kinds of Emulators, with a unique Skin for each of them.

I added a Joystick - navigation with 4 Button support for Game select / start, Tab switch, switch Fullscreen / Normal.

 

 

My Tip: If you have a Media-Center Remot Control you can use the "Power Off" Button

to shutdown the Games and go back to the FGui interface

The F-Gui is protected againt Alt+F4 (which the remote sends) ... no keyboard needed.. :)

 

Next party can come.. ;)
