Launch a separate profile for Minimig

Unread post by AmintaMister »

As from last main MiSTer update - MGL: add setname tag to make a separate profiles for same core."

This is the diff in GitHub:

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... 226810e1c5


So, how can now we launch two separate profiles for the same core (eg "Minimig Amiga" and "Minimi Shapeshifter")?

Thanks!

You need to create a MGL file. You will have an example below.
Some elements may need to be adapt.
<rbf> the path where the RBF is deployed
<setname> the name of the core

MGLFILE;
<mistergamedescription>
<rbf>_Computers/Minimig</rbf>
<setname>MinimiShapeshifter</setname>
</mistergamedescription>

In this case the MGL file will search datas in games/MinimiShapeshifter/ and will have configfiles like this config/MinimiShapeshifter.cfg
