Is there a way to make my emulators appear under the "games" section of my Caanoo? Im tired of having to navigate in explorer to play a game.
Well I cant access the .INI files on the computer. So how would I move the .INI files to the game folder on the Caanoo's file explorer?Orion4874 said:Did the emus come with .ini files? They work the same as any other game or app, they just need that file to point the way and they'll show up in the menu. Have you tried Yoshi's emu pack? It should have everything you need, http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/caanoo.cgi?0,0,0,0,5,696
Well yea i copied and pasted them to get them on the sd card. But I cant see the .ini files for any of the emulators. Ive looked in all the files and I cant find any files with the .ini extension. And what is notepad ++?Orion4874 said:Not sure I understand, what do you mean by can't access them? How did you move the emus to your sd card? You do the same thing with the .ini, just copy and paste. Once in a while certain programs don't come with the .ini, in which case you can make your own with Notepad++.

I have looked in each individual emulator file and I cant find any .INI files. Maybe its the emulators I have, although I also have gngeo as well.Yoshi Dragon said:In order to see your emulators in the Caanoo Games menu, put the emulators plus the corresponding .ini files in the /game folder of the Caanoo.

For example, gngeo.ini has the following content...
It tells the Caanoo, where it finds the program to start (/game/gngeo/rage2x.gpe) plus the icon and title stuff.Code:[info] name="GnGeo" path="/gngeo/rage2x.gpe" icon="/gngeo/_icon.png" title="/gngeo/_title.png"
The Caanoo Emu Pack has everything pre-configured. Just copy the content of the .zip file to the root directory of your SD card. Turn it on and you will see all emulators in the Games section. And read the PDF where to put the ROM and BIOS files.![]()
Regarding Notepad++. Text files must be in UNIX format, since the Caanoo runs Linux as the operating system. Check the important note here.
I had to change the folder options to get the .ini files to show up. But after that I did what you had pictured above and it worked thank youYoshi Dragon said:In order to see your emulators in the Caanoo Games menu, put the emulators plus the corresponding .ini files in the /game folder of the Caanoo.
