It would be nice with a 1337 gui and a browse button when choosing directories.
Also, it would be nice to see the names of the plugins. You'll need to compile a dll in c++ for that, though. I'd do it, if i could just find my cd to install it :geek:

EDIT: Installed! :happy:
Btw, don't think I'm doing it for you alone...'cuz I'm not! I'm installing it to revise my music player :inlove:

And here we have it! What you need is this little wrapper.
Call GetPluginName for each plugin you find.
The declaration is as follows:

Private Declare Function GetPluginName Lib "PJ64 EGP.dll" (ByVal filename As String, ByVal buffer As String) As Long

Then, to recieve the name, use the following code:
Dim buffer As String * 100
GetPluginName("C:\folder\plugin.dll",buffer)

And that's it.
Oh yeah, buffer contains the plugin name. Returns 0 on success, 1 if error.
And a last note: Don't blame me for errors; this wrapper works perfecly, and i have no intention of revising it.

Just remember that that dll file is copyrighted by me and may be disturbed with that program only. It may not be disturbed outside it, or used for any other purpose without my permission. Put a thanks to me for that plugin in the about box as well.

Hey doggi,

I think a program which will automatically give you the best setting possible is a nice idea. However, the optimal setting will be different for different systems. For example, while jabo's plugin might give better graphics on a high end machine, a person with a low end machine might find the FPS unbearable and use Gilde64 to get a more playable gaming experience. Similarly, a person with a voodoo card might not want to use Jabo's plugin becuase it will give color errors, slow speed and many more undesirable results.

Thus, I think you should take into account the different systems that the end user have, and creat optimal settings for each of the popular system setups.

Great work so far, hope the program will be improved much more a long the development.

Best Regards,

Ra

How to make it 1337? :doh:
Well, check my music player, and perhaps you can get an idea on how to make a 1337 gui.

As for the plugin names, it's confusing for people to see the names only! N00bs need the name! That's what this wrapper makes possible; vb can't do it.

Well, you did do something wrong, because it works for me. What's the code you're using when calling it? And how did you do the dll declaration? Do you get any run-time error? Or perhaps it crash?

I hope, doggi, you specified the right path to the plugin you wished to check? Otherwise you'll get a blank message and is returns 1.
