RocketLauncherUI can be used as a Front End on its own to test and launch your games and applications from.
RocketLauncher is a command line program that Front Ends call to launch emulators for cleaner launching and exiting. RocketLauncher uses Plugins to know how to read database and media data from your Front End. This makes editing RocketLauncher settings super easy and fast. RocketLauncher has a GUI counterpart called RocketLauncherUI. New modules will be found by using RocketLauncherUI's update feature. A new user can simply download the module for the emu and that's it. This means that each system has a different mini script that users can download on a per emulator basis. A community based on making highly customized solutions to handling emulators. For example, per-game configurations, bezels, global pause, media access to a game's assets from within the game itself. Add many features to emulators that the original devs did not give access to. This also frees the Front End devs to concentrate on their product, rather than worrying about launching emulators which is a very tedious process considering emulators are constantly updated and often requires changes to launch them. You are free to try many front ends or keep multiple installed and switch between them, but launch everything the same setup! Because RocketLauncher handles launching, you do not need to have, whatever front end you use, handle this. Only require setting up rom paths and emulators across multiple Front Ends once. They are not meant to be run as stand-alone scripts. You never compile any of RocketLauncher's modules. To make it easier for new users to launch emulators and games/applications.
As you become more inclined with RocketLauncherUI, you can dive into more customization options. Non-advanced users do not have to know how all this works, you should just enable it and configure the path settings for your specific needs. Launching a game cleanly and exiting cleanly is what RocketLauncher is all about. This is especially important for arcade cab users because we want the most professional looking system possible. Scripted game launching is much better because scripts can control exactly what happens during the launching of a program or game. By enabling RocketLauncher, you open up a whole new world of scripted game launching.
Usually your Front End can launch games on its own, but is very limited or not nearly as comprehensive as RocketLauncher. Basically RocketLauncher is a separate game launcher for emulators and programs. Archive password is at the bottom.Ībout: For new users. Modules are required for each emulator you want to use.
