Title: Launching Steam in AM to behave like running a rom w/ Retroarch?
Post by: Plex7 on January 25, 2020, 12:26:28 AM
Currently I am trying to figure out how to launch steam and have AM running in the background. Similar to how launching a retroarch supported game, AM is still running in the background, and AM comes back upon quitting the game.

Is there a way to do the same for steam? I can't figure out the AttractMode\emulators emulator.cfg file.

The steam.exe doesn't launch after selecting.

In addition to the emulator steam.cfg file I created (is it even correct?), the romlist file is this line...not sure if that's correct. It isn't launching.
