How to use dynamic commandlines and fixed paths

Dynamic commands are commandlines that are used as variables, for example, If the <rompath> command is used, EO will interpret that as the actual rom path even if it contains spaces.

The default dynamic commandlines supported in EO are listed below:

·         <RomPath>: is the complete rom path e.g. I:\Emulator Organizer\Files\Systems\Nintendo Virtual Boy\Wario Land.7z

·         <RomName>: is the name of the rom without the path e.g. Wario Land.7z

·         <RomFolder>: is the path of the rom folder which does not include the rom name e.g. I:\Emulator Organizer\Files\Systems\Nintendo Virtual Boy

·         <RomNameWithoutExtention>: is the rom name without the extension or rom path e.g. Wario Land

·         <File  (browse for file)>: EO will prompt the user to input the file path

Note: Multiple command lines can be used in the same field. For example, /open <RomFolder><RomName> /play /exit will be interpreted as four separate commands e.g.

·         Command #1 is /open 

·         Command #2 is "C:\Folder\Mario Bros.nes" (when using dynamic commands, quotation marks are used to ensure roms with spaces are sent as one command)

·         Command #3 is /play

·         Command #4 is /exit

If fixed paths are used, the path will need to be encompassed by quotation marks “” to ensure the path is sent as one command e.g.

·         "C:\Folder\Mario Bros.nes" would be sent as one command

·         C:\Folder\Mario Bros.nes (without quotations) would be separated into two commands with the first command being C:\Folder\Mario & the a second command being Bros.nes which may not be recognized by the emulator
