Has anyone been able to get MyPrograms to work with any CPS2 emulators?
I've been able to get all of my emulators to work great with MyPrograms except for the cps2 emulators.
The problem that I've been facing is that its seems like all CPS2 emulators (winkawaks, callus, nebula, final burn alpha) have the same command line command:
"file" rom -fullscreen
or

"C:\folder\winkawaks\winkawaks.exe" spft2 -fullscreen


I believe the reason why MyPrograms is not working with these emulators is because they will not allow an extention attached to the rom name in the command line.
i.e. spft2.zip

So I tried three different set ups for MyPrograms:
Arguements: %ROM% -fullscreen
Extention: zip

Arguements: %ROM% -fullscreen
Extention:

Arguements: %ROM% -fullscreen
Extention: ""

The first set up showed all of the roms, would open the program when I clicked on the rom, but wouldnt load the rom.
The second and third setup would not display the roms.

My thought its that when it tries to run the rom, MyPrograms is sending either of these command lines to winKawaks

"C:\folder\winkawaks\winkawaks.exe" spft2.zip -fullscreen

"C:\folder\winkawaks\winkawaks.exe" spft2.zip.zip -fullscreen

I tried removing the extention from the actual file but that did not work either. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I'm thinking that if I could display the roms in MyPrograms without the extention then it could work, but I havent been able to do that successfully. I'm very stuck, and I think that it may not be possible to solve this problem, but any help or suggestions would be great.

a hack would be to make a copy of every rom,
eg
"myrom.zip"
and create blank file called
"myrom" (no extension)
and then use "" as the extension. that would probably work....

I tried using "" as the extention but no roms (or anything) showed up unfortunately. Do you have any other suggestions?
Do you think that it may work setting the extentions something like this:
rar| |zip
?
I'm assuming that the blank between the lines may act like a "".

you could use a .bat file as the emulator executable, and in that .bat file remove the extension from the rom. google how to create a .bat file to do that (or try the wiki, there are a few that do some tricky things with .bat files that you might be able to hack)
