Create game shortcuts in Winuae

Hello,

I'm running Winuae 2.4.0 on my Windows 7 64bit PC.

A couple of years ago I remember having Winuae set up really nicelly on my old XP machine and want to do it all again. I basically had it so all my games were just shortcuts, I just double clicked the game and I was in instantly to the title screen of the game and it was full screen and the joypad and keyboard worked.

I have tried to do the same thing as I think the shortcuts were just save states of that particular game, but the problem I getting is I set it all up and the game will load full screen etc to the title page when I first set it up, but if I close Winua down and then double click the save state it loads the game "windowed" and all my settings are gone, like the filtering if the screen size, scalling, input devices.

What am I doing wrong?

Set everything up and save it as a configuration, make sure you set the emulator to not show the startup screen then all you need do is double click on the config file (as long as you have the correct file association set up) and it will load up as you want.

Thanks, where is the option to not show the startup screen?

Thanks,

Can I create a shortcut that will load the configuration of a game and then it's save state?

The reason I ask is the configuration load will load the game, but I have save states on the title pages so I miss all that loading Smile

I would like to hit a short cut for say Turrican 2 and it is on the title page instantly?

Thanks
