Please give feedback if this would be useful for you. Any features that you would like to see?
If you have any experience with UI design I would appreciate the input. Currently I'm using a lot of standard assets and placeholders for the UI.
This version has been developed with the Xbox 360 controller in mind though other gamepads should also work. Controls can be mapped to a gamepad or keyboard. Mouse and older joystick mapping will come later.
There are some issues like Antimicro, the tool I'm using for sending the Xbox Guide button presses to Supermodel to exit out of a game, leaves "dead" icons in the tray. But hopefully I'll be able to get that figured out soon.
Current Features:
- Saves Game Configs (Command Line Options) to Json
- Saves Game Configs (Command Line Options) to Batch files (for use with other frontends)
- Maps Xbox Guide button to exit back to Frontend when in game (using Antimicro).
- Fullscreen from launch to exit. Hides CMD window when launching games.
- Control remapping made easy.
Upcoming Features:
- Better UI graphics assets
- Controller only navigation
- User configurable game images
- User configurable paths (rom/emulator/images/etc)
- Auto-patch Roms
## Installation
1. Unzip
2. Place Model3 roms in "SupermodelsAssistant\Supermodel\Roms" folder.
## Usage
Run "Supermodel's Assistant.exe".
Settings can be accessed in the upper left corner from the game selection screen.
Control mapping configuration is saved in the "SupermodelsAssistant\Supermodel\Config\Supermodel.ini"
file.
Game confguration batch files are saved in the "SupermodelsAssistant\GameConfigurationsBatch" folder.
These can be used with other frontends. They must be placed in the same folder as the "Supermodel.exe".
If you want to install a different version of Supermodel to use wit this frontend, delete the contents
of "SupermodelsAssistant\Supermodel" folder and extract the contents of the Supermodel zip to
"SupermodelsAssistant\Supermodel" folder. Don't forget to backup the
"SupermodelsAssistant\Supermodel\Config\Supermodel.ini" file if you want to save your input
configurations.
Debug error messages can be accessed via the Debug Console activated by pressing the tilde/backquote key
on the keyboard.
The current version number is displayed in the upper right corner of the options menu.
