[mgalaxy]

don't forget to include the .zip extension too

Thanks for pointing this out! It'l be done

Thanks Mr. Galaxy. It works fine. But don't forget to include the .zip extension too. All of my roms are in .zip format and I had to edit the last line.

extensions=".vb,.vboy,.zip"

Now, I can play all of my blinding, red Virtual Boy games.

Hi PrettyPrincess!

How exactly do I manually add a new application to the list, under Virtual Boy? Currently, I only see BizHawk and Red Dragon [Script]. RetroArch has a Virtual Boy core called Beetle VB.

With a text editor, open mGalaxy folder -> Data -> BaseSystems -> BaseSystems.xml
Locate the block of code related to Virtual Boy

Code: (xml) [Select]

<System type="Console">
<Name ss="11" em="Nintendo_Virtual_Boy" tgdb="Nintendo Virtual Boy" gb="79|VBOY">Nintendo Virtual Boy</Name>
<Emu selected="Red Dragon [Script]">
<Cmd hidden="true" name="BizHawk" value="--fullscreen &quot;%path\%file%ext&quot;" extensions=".7z,.vb,.zip"/>
<Cmd hidden="false" name="Red Dragon [Script]" value="&quot;%path\%file%ext&quot;" extensions=".vb"/>
</Emu>
</System>You can see 2 lines beginning with <Cmd hidden=......>, add a third one

Code: (xml) [Select]

<Cmd hidden="true" name="RetroArch [mednafen_vb_libretro.dll]" value="-f -L cores\mednafen_vb_libretro.dll &quot;%path\%file%ext&quot;" extensions=".vb,.vboy"/>
So, the final block should look like this:

Code: (xml) [Select]

<System type="Console">
<Name ss="11" em="Nintendo_Virtual_Boy" tgdb="Nintendo Virtual Boy" gb="79|VBOY">Nintendo Virtual Boy</Name>
<Emu selected="Red Dragon [Script]">
<Cmd hidden="true" name="BizHawk" value="--fullscreen &quot;%path\%file%ext&quot;" extensions=".7z,.vb,.zip"/>
<Cmd hidden="false" name="Red Dragon [Script]" value="&quot;%path\%file%ext&quot;" extensions=".vb"/>
<Cmd hidden="true" name="RetroArch [mednafen_vb_libretro.dll]" value="-f -L cores\mednafen_vb_libretro.dll &quot;%path\%file%ext&quot;" extensions=".vb,.vboy"/>
</Emu>
</System>
Save then start mGalaxy_Runway to create a new 'VirtualBoy' system, you will see that a new emulator is available
To finish, please come back here and report that everything is working as it should  so that I can add this update with the next version!!

is it possible to set a wallpaper for each Console

No, it isnt!

Also, is it possible to set a wallpaper for each Console? Instead of showing artwork for each rom such as Mario Tennis or Wario Land, I would like to set a single wallpaper of the console itself, the Virtual Boy.
