Your ‘roms’ will be the shortcuts to your games and we’re going to use an mGalaxy utility application to create them.

Launch ‘scummvm.exe’ and add games to it then quit.
Download ‘ScummVM shortcut generator.exe’ here
Launch ‘ScummVM shortcut generator.exe’, pick the path to the ScummVM application then the path to the destination folder where the shortcuts will be created (this can be the same folder as your ScummVM games folder)
Click ‘Create shortcut files’…your shortcuts are now created.

Launch mGalaxy_Runway and create a ‘ScummVM’ system.
Click the ‘App path’ button and select the ‘cmd.exe’ application.
Click the ‘Rom path’ button and select the folder you chose in the previous step to save your shortcuts.
Click the ‘Save’ button…you’re ready to play!!

NullDC-Naomi

NullDC-Naomi needs .lst files to point to the (rom) .dat files. So you need both files per game.
mGalaxy is set to detect .lst files (needed by ‘NullDC-Naomi’) and .dat files (needed by ‘NullDC-Naomi’ through .lst files AND by ‘Makaron’ emulator)
If you place both files in the same folder, mGalaxy – which is programmed to choose the first extension met when it comes across 2 (or more) files with the same name (but different extension) – will consider the .dat file as the ‘rom’ file to be launched…which will lead to an error.

The solution:
1. To create a folder names ‘lst’ and drop all .lst files inside.
2. To edit the path to the .dat file in all of those .lst files. (Example: “../roms/Ikaruga.dat”)
3. To choose this ‘lst’ folder as ‘Rom folder’ in mGalaxy_Runway

Quick tutorial:
1. Drop your .dat rom files into the ‘roms’ folder inside of NullDC-Naomi folder.
2. Download this file and extract it inside the same NullDC-Naomi folder (a new folder will be created called ‘lst’ and full of .lst files with their paths already edited to point to the ‘roms’ folder)
3. Run mGalaxy_Runway, select ‘Sega Naomi’, click ‘Rom Path’ and select your ‘lst’ folder.

Attention:
if you want to place your roms in another place, you’ll have then to edit paths in .lst files accordingly.
