Creating a settings interface

Post by ninja09 »

Since I tend to move between monitors (tv, monitor, laptop) and enjoy playing fullscreen with a fixed aspect ratio I made myself a small program which sets my custom resolution to whatever the monitor I am on's max is then I can run ZSNES from it.

I am thinking of expanding it to help myself learn C# to cover more of the settings. Right now it is three buttons, One to set the resolution (with a checkbox to automatically run the emulator afterwards), one to run the emulator, and one to close the application.

It does use .NET 2.0 though as that is the language I am trying to learn.

Would this be something of interest to anyone? It would allow you to change settings outside the program before running it.

I am not modifying the emulator at all, not selling it or this program, all I am doing is merely rewriting the nessesary lines in the cfg file through another program.

Do you guys think it would be something worthwhile to contribute or should I just keep it for personal use? Right now for what I was intending to do it is in workable condition and I can release it with just the one setting for now if there is interest.
