PS2Launcher Build 883 - a tool for PCSX2 settings management.

Author: Mutronics (http://www.emu-land.net/forum/index.php?...e;u=17314)

Basic actions:
Entries creation:
Just run PCSX2 and set it up for your favorite game. After that run PS2 launcher and create a new entry for your game. All current PCSX2 settings will be copied for that entry and saved in the DB. Pressing START will restore current settings from selected profile and run PCSX2.

Profile editing:
Choose profile and press "Edit". You can change profile name and replace profile settings with current PCSX2 settings. Uncheck "Replace profile config. by current PCSX2 configuration" if you do not want to change profile configuration.

Installation:
Extract all files into your PCSX2 root dir (where is PCSX2.exe located)

Links:
Lite version of PS2 Launcher r883 (without CF):
-> <N/A>
Full version of PS2 Launcher r883 (with CF):
-> <Download>
"Fixed" english language file:
-> <Download> (included into latest rev package)

Custom features (hacks):
Special custom features available only in latest revs (710-76x) and currently there is only one feature. It allows you to specify "skip" value for modified GSdx version. This value can be used for GoW2/tri-Ace games to remove some annoying bugs, like WallofFog/ghosting in GoW2 or ghosting in Radiata Stories. Note that it works only with modified GSdx plugins (included in Full version), I will separate links for clean PS2 Launcehr and for pack with modified GSdx plugins.
Also, see P.P.P.S.

Upcoming features:
-> any ideas?

P.S. New ideas for new features are welcome :P
P.P.S. No, I have no idea why Mutronics named it as PS2 Launcher
P.P.P.S. according to GPLv2, one can release modified binaries without patch/sources, but must provide them if user will ask. 2ForumMods: since global forum rules do not restrict modified binaries and Chatterbox section has no local rules - I guess links are valid and didn't broke any rule.

Hopefully when they write the new wx interface they add in support for a games list with settings perhaps similar to dolphin or pj64.

Yeah, I hope so...

Cool program, i already saw somtheing like this here http://forums.ngemu.com/pcsx2-forum/1191...ing-2.html

New version is out, now with online DB for game's settings. Tho it is not stable yet, I'll post link when it will be well-tested.

I used to use this, I wondered where I could find it agian, found it off some emu site. Nice program.

Ok, first post updated, build 512 is out. Note that english translation isn't yet finished for this build (one or two strings untranslated). I will do it later.
Also, if someone willing to fix my poor engrish translation - you're welcome

I don't see anything wrong with the translation but there is one sentence that is still in Russian and it's not on the ini file but on the dialog.Look at the lower left "Онлайн База"

Yeah, there is no language string for that atm. I will tell Mutronics to add this one.
Btw, here is the new english langfile for build 512: http://www.sendspace.com/file/9mcovq

Well-deserved bump for "Where is my cat?" and an all-around neat program.

In related news, I'm not entirely certain where my cat is.
