Photon V3 Manual

Below are the manual pages from our old version of Photon Game Manager, V3. V3 is a usable product but it has many quirks with the interface which simply do not compare to the user-friendliness of V4. V3 also has a lot less features than V4 does and the graphics engine isn't quite as advanced so doesn't look as good and is slower than V4. So why not help support me by buying a license key for V4 and get a better product.

AutoMount

Function

The function of this program is to allow the user to set the image file to automatically mount and batch files to run before the selected game is run. Also to set the batch file to run after game finished and whether to unmount the image file

Interface


When you click AutoMount from the Tools section of GameManager you should be greeted with a window like above.

Image Mounter & Image Path

For this feature you must have either DAEMON Tools, Alcohol 120 or WinCDEmu installed.
Once installed select which one you have from the drop down box next to 'Type', then click browse and navigate to the daemon, alcohol or WinCDEmu folder and select DTLite.exe, DTAgent.exe, AxCmd.exe, batchmnt.exe or batchmnt64.exe depending on which mounter software you have installed. If you select the wrong EXE it will give an error and you'll have to reselect a different EXE. Once that is done you must select which Virtual Drive Number you wish to mount to, do this using the drop down box.
Note: AutoMount will not automatically add virtual drives, if you select #3 then you must have 4 virtual drives added via the DAEMON/Alcohol/WinCDEmu program interface.
Next simply click on 'Browse' button under Image Path and select your image file. (most likely an mds file if your running protected backups). If you would like the image file unmounted after the game has finished click 'UnMount'.
Note: UnMount only works when Silent Runner is enabled

Pre and Post Batch Files

If you require batch files to be run before and/or after your games then select them using the browse buttons under the respective sections.
If you only want batch files to be run and not image mounter then you must select 'Batch File ONLY' from the type menu under Image Mounter
Note: Post Batch Files only work when Silent Runner is enabled

Save

Click the 'Save' button and it will save the settings and start the FrontEnd again.
If you don't want to save settings click the 'Exit' button and all recent changes to 'Virtual Drive Number' and 'Image Path' will be discarded.

Turn off AutoMount

If you want to turn off AutoMount for a certain game, select it in FrontEnd and click the 'Remove AutoMount' button
