RoM-Jacket

v.5b

http://code.google.com/p/rom-jacket/

What it is:
Easily add, control and play games with your joystick from your favorite media-center.
RoM-Jacket was created to allow roms to be launched with a configuration unique to the game, indipendent of the emulator and within a library structure compatible with popular media-center/arcade front-ends such as XBMC, Hyperspin, Maximus Arcade, Game-EX, Media Browser/Gamebrowser etc...

i.e: to give each rom a "jacket": A folder that contains the rom and everything associated with it in order to maintain portability and preserve the rom as it exists and is executed from within a front-end.

What it does:
• Downloads, installs and configures the required emulators, desired front-ends, and joystick programs including any required dependencies.
• Creates a library structure for your front-end and auto-populates it.
• Generates and configures joystick profiles, emulator configurations and a rom-launcher which loads them for every rom.
• Save-files, quick-saves, snapshots, metadata, artwork and emulator-settings are unique, exclusive and stored with the rom.
• Configures the WMC Media Browser plugin, Gamebrowser for MB plugin, and XBMC plugins: Advanced Launcher and Rom Collection Browser.

How it works:

RoM-Jacket uses dirty-logic to determine your existing library's contents.
RoM-Jacket will introduce itself and make obscene gestures. RoM-Jacket knows what to do with your bios. Just relax and let RoM-Jacket handle your joystick.

NOTE:

This program is not even a program but a piece of scrippery taking your computer from behind and having its way with it. It is made of glue and macaroni and was written with crayons.
I take no responsibility for any damage Rom-Jacket may cause upon execution. I've tested this at least twice however it contains small pieces of glass and should only be used under the strict supervision of an adult.
