* The launcher currently only handles absolute paths correctly. Relative path handling may or may not work but this part of the code needs a proper overhaul

### To Do
* Code option to import existing configuration information from Mednafen config files (default & system specific configs) into the MedLaunch database
* Option to export config information to Mednafen config files
* Configure controllers from within MedLaunch
* Option to bypass all MedLaunch command line parameters (and just use already existing Mednafen cfg files)

### Download
You can always get the latest alpha release build of MedLaunch on the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Asnivor/MedLaunch/releases) page. I am actively working on code in the [Master Branch](https://github.com/Asnivor/MedLaunch/tree/master) and you can see the active changes for the next release on the [ChangeLog](http://medlaunch.asnitech.co.uk/changelog). These pre-release changes will be released when I am happy with them, so please do not ask for builds ahead of the official releases. You can of course get yourself a copy of Visual Studio Community installed and build it yourself from the Master branch.

### Setup
* Download the latest MedLaunch release (if one is available) and extract this somewhere
* Run MedLaunch.exe and select the location of your Mednafen folder
! You can download the latest version of Mednafen from the [**Mednafen website**](http://mednafen.fobby.net/releases/).

! It is recommended that you use a brand new Mednafen instance for the time being. You can download the latest version of Mednafen from the [**Mednafen website**](http://mednafen.fobby.net/releases/). If you do not do this you might experience issues with already existing system specific configuration files in the Mednafen folder. Specifically, these will override base settings in MedLaunch until said system configuration is enabled in the launcher. This will be addressed in future releases.
#### New Install
* Extract this release to a folder, run the 'MedLaunch.exe' executable and choose your Mednafen directory (must be the Mednafen 0.9.39.x branch and 64-bit version if you want to emulate Saturn games).
* You are then prompted to choose whether to import all config settings from your Mednafen folder into the MedLaunch database (this is recommended).
* If you currently use system-specific config files with Mednafen the settings from these will be imported with the above process. However MedLaunch will write to these files when you launch a game - so back them up somewhere if you are not happy with this.

### Upgrade
* Extract the latest MedLaunch release over your existing MedLaunch folder.
* Run the MedLaunch application
#### Upgrade
##### Preferred Method:
* Automatically download and upgrade using the 'Updates' tab within MedLaunch itself.
* Once MedLaunch has upgraded, go to the 'Configs' tab and click the 'IMPORT ALL CONFIGS FROM DISK' button

##### Manual Method:
* You can safely extract this new release over an existing MedLaunch folder (providing you do not have MedLaunch running at the time)
* Once extracted run the MedLaunch.exe executable and your current database will be upgraded before the application starts proper.
* Once MedLaunch has upgraded, go to the 'Configs' tab and click the 'IMPORT ALL CONFIGS FROM DISK' button
