About Android Quickstart Game

Open clondy999 opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Is there a specific command to quickly start the game specified by OpenBor from the Android shell? My OpenBor has multiple games. I want to start the specified game through the shell

As far as i am aware it wont load specific games like that for now but it maybe possible in a update.

I hope can add this function so that can use the shell to load games with external USB

Well i have wanted to add a option to add setting the android games directory within the program. That would be just as good as running shell scripts.

This would be great if implemented like openbor on other platforms (eg: Emuelec)

Currently I have my launcher set like this, but inside of launching the game I select, it just opens openbor and I need to select the games manually in the list..

-a android.intent.action.VIEW -n org.openbor.engine/org.libsdl.app.SDLActivity -d {file.path}

+1 to this request! Would love to be able to open OpenBor paks directly from a game launcher through commands rather than having to go through OpenBor

Def would be nice to have other folder support also!

Sorry guys, this is not a thing. OpenBOR is not an engine, not an emulator and we are moving away from it behaving like a multi-game console. Likely as not the entire "games menu" will be depreciated entirely in favor of a companion app that functions outside of the engine.
