It can be made portable:
- Create basedir.txt next to stella.exe
- Inside:
or any other name for the folder.
Don't forget the backslash.
- save as ANSI
Inside
stella.ini (now under config\), locations of other config files paths (state dir, cheatfile, etc) have to be absolute. So useful only if you keep Stella in a fixed path (not USB). romdir can be relative. (e.g. Roms\)
However, you can work around that by using command line options:
Stella.exe -statedir config\state -cheatfile config\stella.cht -palettefile config\stella.pal -propsfile config\stella.pro -nvramdir config\nvram -cfgdir config\cfg
You can also add the parameter
-romdir Roms and forgo setting it it stella.ini
So, in short:
- create basedir.txt with contents as above
- create a batch file or a shortcut with the following parameters:
Code: Select all
Stella.exe -romdir Roms -statedir config\state -cheatfile config\stella.cht -palettefile config\stella.pal -propsfile config\stella.pro -nvramdir config\nvram -cfgdir config\cfg
- run from that file and you are good to go!
