Thank you for downloading QuickPlay, this short guide will show you how to set up QuickPlay for the first time with the minimum of fuss or effort, so you can hurry up and get playing some games!
Step 1- Setting up the Program
Download the QuickPlay package and Unzip to a suitable directory
Display Scaling
QuickPlay works great at extreme resolutions, many old emulators don’t. Different versions of Windows will try and scale emulators differently, and this can lead to chaos.
The great news is that if you tell QuickPlay to ignore windows’ attempts to scale it to work on High-DPI, this setting gets passed to everything that QuickPlay launches - so its a setting you can set once and it will get used in every emulator that QuickPlay can find and launch.
So tell QuickPlay to stop trying to scale QuickPlay up by right-clicking qp.exe and selecting “ignore display scaling for High-DPI” and QuickPlay will tell every Emulator it launches to do the same
Step 2 - Running the program
Now launch qp.exe - QuickPlay will detect that this is the first time you have run the program and start the 'getting started wizard', follow it if you want to get some emulators and roms playable immediately. When finished, some default files will get created for you in the QuickPlay's root folder and if you didn't scan any roms, you'll be given one default romdata folder called 'QuickPlay' (in the filesystem you can find your romdata folders in QuickPlay's "data" directory)
Step 3 - Running a ROM
If you didn't use the wizard, or you want more roms, use the Efinder menu to find emulators and make new romdata folders on the left hand side of QuickPlay and right click in them and sleect :scan for roms". Just double-click the ROM you wish to run, or you can right-click on it and click Run. Also if you right-click on any run you can choose 'run With' and any other emulators which emulator the system will appear. Now enjoy your game!
