About PCG
=========

This utility is a one stop, almost turn-key utility for getting pc games to work in front-ends.  By turn key I mean you do NOT have to do
ridiculous things like create a shortcut or batch file for each game, set each game up as a dedicated emulator, ect. With the PCG, we assume that
your various pc games are all installed to a single folder (or drive) such as "d:\pc games\" with each game contained inside it's sub-folder.  PCG then
scans this folder and it's sub-folders, does it's best to determine the pc game's name and exe path, and makes a clrmame dat file along with a set of 
fake "roms" with the extension pcg, which contain all the needed info for the games.  Now you simply point your fe to the pc-launcher included with pcg
and use it like an emulator, with it's "roms" being the pcg files and a dat file ready to parse fr detailed game info.  If you are using dk, the setup is even automatic!


Quick Start
==========
It couldn't be simplier... load up pcg, set your paths, and close the app.  Now run the batch file.  Your pcg files and dat file are created!  That's it!  
Just point your fe to the launcher and set the "rom" path to the path where you had the pcg files created.  Use the dat (if applicable) to get the game name.

Advanced Use
============
Some games might be broken, or don't work well.  Some folders in your pc games root folder might contain junk.  Whenever you wish to get rid of these problem
entries, don't just delete, em, black-list em!  This ensures that the next time you auto-generate, these games will be skipped and not re-added.

Also PCG does it's best to determine the proper exe in each folder (by skipping exes with setup in the title, looking for wrappers, ect) but sometimes it gets it wrong.  Simply edit the entry to fix it.  Don't worry, pcg files that already exist are NOT overwritten when the batch file is ran, so your changes will be saved.  

Everything else is pretty self-explainatory, so enjoy!


Notes
=======

Because pc games aren't very cabinet friendly, a special feature has been added to the pc-launcher.  If you make an auto hot key script, name it after
the exe in question, and drop it in the same folder, it will be launched along with the game.  The name should match exactly, so if you wish to write a script for "mario.exe" then the ahk should be called "mario.exe.ahk" and be in the same folder as the exe.  Please note that the ahk's are NOT terminated upon the exit of the game, so write them to be self-exiting.
