InstantSheller in Win7 - Need to Hide Batch Command Prompt
albert_c:
I have InstantSheller working to shell to a batch file to launch Attract Mode as instructed here. Want to take this a step further and hide the launching of the batch file which is visible just before AM loads. This is cosmetic but makes a difference with presentation in a cab build.
Been reading about how to achieve this for other applications and have been unsuccessful. What is mentioned is to edit the batch file to run it minimized. Or the other way is to use a VBS script to launch the batch file; thus the batch file shall be hidden by the VBS script. I have been unsuccessul in applying either method. I really know nothing about scripting other than following the work layed down by others and copy/pasting. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

there is a bat to exe converter. you can compile your script as an invisible exe.

Interesting. I'll give it a shot and update this thread.
One more question before I get to that however; is there a definitive guide for cab building (15kkhz/CGA/Arcade Monitor-type) located anywhere on this site or Youtube? I have lots of expertise in this area and wouldn't mind contributing in that manner. But don't want to duplicate efforts either.

community is asking questions and answers to AM frontend, because this is the main focus ^-^
somebody started here a thread.

Alright. I'll put a video series together on Youtube then. Won't link to it here. But will give a shout out to Attract Mode appropriately.
