Video tutorial
If you want to add the mount on the fly function for cd image file compressed into zip format or converted into Compact File Set format , you need Pismo File Mount Audit Package installed on your pc.
MedGuiR full version also include "Spismo", a frontend to ptiso.exe to convert cd image file into cfs compressed format (press ? to open the how to).
You can join MedGuiR Discord channel to learn how to use/create cfs and zip archive, and make it usable by MedGui Reborn.
For those who would like to help me set the server containing the Box Art, I implemented a function that copies the name of the rom from the menu with the details of the game (just click on it), the name obtained can be posted at the following link in order to give me the ability to correct or add the cover.

This is a quick command "How-To" for MedGui Reborn
<Main command>:
- Select the Mednafen "folder" at startup (not the exe).

** For .iso and .ecm file MedGui Reborn will convert and create a generic .cue file to try to load this format not supported by Mednafen.
- After selecting a single file or an entire folder, the respective ROM will appear into the main grid with detailed informations.
To run a game without setting the advanced options, just double left-click (or press the enter key) on a ROM reported on the list.

- "Baloon" icon will open a small IRC client called "Ultra Crappy IRC", you can add your favourite channel and chat with your nerd friends (UCI not allow query message)
- "Note" icon will open "ModLand Scraper", you can download a lot of music module console file and play it by Mednafen itself.
Gameboy file (.gbs) and Megadrive/Genesis file (.vgz/.vgm) will be converted on the file into .bin format to permit Mednafen to play it.

<General Info>:
- This section provides detailed informations about the selected game (console, real ROM name, version, size in Megabit and No-Intro status)
- By clicking on the arrow icon, you can download (when available on my server) the respective ROM box art.
*If you check the related box, any missing box art will be automatically downloaded as soon as you select a game.
- By clicking on the various vertical buttons, you will be redirected to some site that contains more informations about the game, or that opens a link of a video posted on YouTube.

- The balloon icon lets you see the MedGuiR "About" window.
- "Select Dat": selects the appropriate folder containing the database of the game; by default the No-Intro database will be loaded, but you can also select a custom database (if any).
The refresh button updates the database when new changes have been made.
- "Custom Dat Maker (icon)": is a small utility that will create a custom database of your ROM set. To use it you will need to extrat your ROM set (if compressed) in a folder, and point to this
(the combo box automatically filters games and creates the appropriate files depending on the chosen system).
- "Backup/Restore Config": will perform a backup or restore of the Mednafen configuration file within an internal MedGuiR folder.
- "Force" - "Update Arrow (icon): by clicking on this icon MedGuiR will look for any available frontend updates on the server.
They will be offered to the user to be downloaded and set up, when availables. The "Force" option ignores version control and performs the update anyway; it can be useful when you want to test intermediate versions of MedGuiR that I upload on the server.
- Bottom "Update Arrow (icon): Preform a check to new Mednafen official release.
- "Internal": Will force MedGuiR to use internal browser (based on old IE version) to perform rom search and to visualize stdout message.
- "Grid Columns": this section offers to the user the possibility to apply various filters to the grid containing the list of games.
As well as hiding some items and resizing the grid, you can also sort games by various criteria.
<Rom Path 1/2>
- In this section you can set the folder paths containing your games, sorted by console.
This option is useful to quickly open the folder path when you select a single game and to perform a pre-scan of games contained within a folder.
- "Recursive Scan": Checking this option MedGui Reborn will scan folder in recursive mode, anyway the scan will not consider .cue/.toc/.ccd and .m3u file.
* "Remember that the recursive scanning is sperimental and can report errors.
<Audio Utility>
- This is a small utility to manage audio files of PC-Engine CD games (cue-sheet version).
- Click with the right mouse button inside the ListBox to open a pop-up menu for the audio options.
* Add audio folder file: select an audio format from the combo box; a Windows Explorer window will open to let you choose the folder containing the audio file type you specified (before confirming, make sure the audio files in the folder are in the format you specified)
* Convert Sigle/Folder Audio to: the audio files will appear in the listbox, hence you can convert a single selected file or all files in a format compatible with Mednafen (.ogg or .wav).
* Delete After Conversion: this option has to be selected before conversion, and it will move into the trash all audio files when conversion is done (to use with caution).
* Multimedia: if you prefer you can also listen to files using the appropriate menu or by double left-clicking the specified file.
<Game Utility>
- PSX Cue/Toc/M3U Maker: you can create a .cue, .toc, or .m3u file from a .bin file; essential for the proper functioning of PSX games with Mednafen.
M3U files are used by Mednafen to manage multi-disc games (like Metal Gear Solid).
When you select a bin file, the utility will verify if the file has a correct name through an internal database, and will propose to rename it if necessary.(this is optional but remember that if you want to rename the file you must then adjust the respective .cue or .toc file via a text editor)
* Remember that this utility will just create a plain .cue /.toc file, without considering any sub-audio tracks; so games that use subchannels will work regularly, but Mednafen will not play audio subchannels (e.g.: Dead Or Alive).
- PC-CD Cue Renamer: most cue/sheet files refer to compressed audio files in .mp3, .ape, .mpc or .wav format;
this utility will rename all references to these files in the .cue file to .ogg or .wav, compatibles with Mednafen.
- Open Custom GB Palette Maker: Mednafen offers support to custom palettes, through which you can apply color layers to those Game Boy games developed in monochrome mode.
With this utility you can act on background colours only (BGP) or on object colours (OBP0/1) as well. After selecting the colours you want, you can save a specific file for the selected game or save a generic file which will be used by all the Game Boy games emulated by Mednafen. Files are stored in the "Palette" folder, within the Mednafen folder. You can manually create a plain text file and enter a series of 4/8/12 colours in Hex format (e.g. series of 4: FFFFFF ADAD84 42737B 000000). This file needs to be placed at the following MedGui Reborn path: "...\MedGuiR\Palettes\GB".
- GB/GBA Utility: some Game Boy Advance games require the correct save type to be specified in a plain text file, without it these games will not work.
Such examples are "Super Mario Advance 4" and "Super Mario Bros. 3", which use a 128 flash file type. This utility will create these files according to user requests.

<Snaps Manager>
- In this section you can manage the snpas made by Mednafen.
T = Titled Snaps (Main screen of the game)
S = Snap (In game Snap)
You can load Snaps from "Mednafen Snaps folder" or by your custom folder, and rename the image in the same NoIntro standard Rom name from "Grid Rom List" or with respective Rom CRC (MedGuiR support this format).
All renamed CRC snaps will be placed correctly in the MedGuiR Snaps folder, if you select NoIntro name, snaps will be placed on the same folder of original not renamed snap.
If you want to assign your controller buttons by Mednafen itself, just use the keyboard setup inside the emulator: ALT + SHIFT + (n).
For a quick overview of the options that can be set by Mednafen, press the F1 key at emulation start..
