How to run Emulation frontends from ANY drive letter

One of problems with Front Ends like CP78, No Intro etc is they MUST be run from a specific drive letter, this is simple to get around and this video will help you sort it :)

Here are the commands used:
Run CMD Prompt

subst - It Associates a path with a drive letter.

SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]
SUBST drive1: /D

drive1: Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a path.
[drive2:]path Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
a virtual drive.
/D Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.

Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.

subst i: \\Emulation\CP78
This will NOT work, the drive MUST be local

subst i: D:\CP78
then run Game Loader ALL RH from CP78 FrontEnd\Utlilities
---------------------------------------------
If you wanted to create the .BAT file that then autoruns your frontend, you could use these commands:
subst I: D:\CP78
cd /d "I:\CP78 Front End\"

You can download my .BAT file here and just change the path where your CP78 is.
For best practice, put this in your front ends root folder, but that's not essential.

Is anyone else struggling with the TeknoPArrot stuff, Mine simply will not run despite me getting every game to run in TP without CP78, it's very frustrating - I am binning CP78 and moving to CoinOPS Forgotten Worlds 4+

Hi Steve, thanks for the video, I have just downloaded CP78 Base Edition, however I have extracted the contents into my documents on the C:\ what command line would I have to write to do this? Thank you.

Wich program are you using for multiple windows toolbars?

I’m really confused, why would you not just change the letter to the drive, it takes like 5 clicks maybe and I’m struggling with a example that would say it’s worth all the trouble. Though cool in general there is a method, I’m just not sure I get it all things considered. 😎
