HTPC Tip Of The Day: Playing ROMs

By Alan Cooke | Published Wednesday, 30 January 2008

If you happen to have a collection of ROMs that you are itching to play on your spiffy new Media Center PC, there are a couple of solutions available to you in VMC and one availble in Sage.

First up is EMUCenter.

TGB Thread

It is a bit fiddly to setup but works quite well and is programmed with MCML. A big plus is that it is free.

Secon up is GameEx

I have not used GameEx for a while. It was originally designed as a ROM front-end that was loosely integrated with MCE 2K5. It eventually moved to a fully featured front-end that can be used with out VMC. However, it can still be used as a ROM only catalog with VMC or MCE 2K5.

If you are a SageTV user, you can use this script to create ROM menu items.

Know of any other methods to catalog and play ROMS from your favorite Media Center application? Let us know in the comments!
