I have an HTPC connected to my TV (duh...) and I decided to add a video card to help with some playback issues I was having. I went for a 4890 that I got cheap at BestBuy (from all places...). And just for **** and giggles (can I say **** here?) I copied over my games from my gaming rig to the HTPC. Long story short, I'm retiring my 360 and my HTPC is taking over as a gaming console too :). The only problem I encountered was that I found myself having to reach for my mouse every time I wanted to play new game. I promptly fired up Google and started searching for a game launcher and couldn't really find anything of the like. So, I decided to write my own. I'm writing a simple game launcher that would display the games you have on your computer and allow you to run them, the interface would come back once you're done with the current game, allowing the user to select another game. The interface can be accessed by a combination of keys on the game controller (connected to the PC of course). First thing I want to know from you good people is: Is there anything out there that does what I just described? Second thing: I need help with graphics, fonts, and all the artsy stuff I suck so bad at. Anyone? TIA
