Exporting games
The game manager support exporting games to a target directory in two ways: as a Carousel to be used by PCUAE or as individual game files that can be loaded with the File manager on a USB stick. Use the "File/Export/Export to Carousel" or "File/Export/Export to File Loader" menu options. You can choose to export entire gamelist views or individual games.
When exporting to Carousel a .tsg file is created for each game in the export folder containing the game information. Cover, screens and game files are exported in the following structure:
|-exportfolder
|
|-covers
|-games
|-screens
The export folder can then be copied to a USB stick containing PCUAE and loaded from the game list selector screen. It can also be used with the Maxi game tool directly on your PC by copying the content of the target folder to a "games" subfolder where you have the Maxi game tool located.
NOTE: the export folder cannot have a space in the name. The game manager will show a warning in this case.
The description of the games can be in different languages. The exported tsg files will have all supported languages generated. If no text has been added in the game manager for a specific language the English text is used when generating the tsg file.
When exporting to File loader a cjm file is created for each game in the export folder containing the system and joystick configuration information. All games will be named after the game title. The export folder can be copied to a USB stick and loaded through Media access or File loader.
