Creating A Shortcut In The Wiz Games Menu

Automatically

The Application INImaker by Alex is available on the Wiz Archive, which automates the process of creating Wiz Shortcuts.

Manually

1. Create a {GAMENAME}.ini file in the "game" directory on your SD card for each game you want to see from the "WIZ GAMES" menu.

2. The files should be in following format:

[info]
name="The title you want to see in the list"
path="/relative/path/to/your/executable.gpe"
icon="/relative/path/to/an/icon.png"

3. The root of "path" and "icon" is the "game" directory in the root of your SD card. This means that you need to keep your applications in folders within the "game" directory.

4. The Wiz has a Linux operating system so the directory delimiter of paths are forward slashes so ensure that is what you use in your paths. Additionally, the names of files and directories in the paths are case-sensitive. Furthermore, ensure that your {GAMENAME}.ini files have Unix style file endings else they may not work correctly.

5. The icon file should be a 22x25 8-bit PNG.

Example for "/game/picodrive/PicoDrive.gpe":

[info]
name="PicoDrive"
path="/picodrive/PicoDrive.gpe"
icon="/picodrive/PicoDrive.png"
