PlugIn Development:GameEx PlugIn Info

GameEx: PlugIn Info Overview

You would set your PlugIn variables here, and they will be exposed to GameEx. You can set the version number of your plugin, author name, app name, and many other variables.

PLEASE NOTE: Although you can change the PluginVersion to 1.40, you will lose a few variables. The 1.40 is only for legacy, and should not be used (stick with 1.41).
Also, as of version 1.41, only PlugInType.Emulator is supported by the application.
