emulator setting for pc_games (portable)
« on: December 23, 2018, 05:16:32 AM »
I'm not able to set Emulator in AM to run .bat files (pc games)

I found this setting in the forum but when I launch the game nothing happens

where I'm wrong?

rompath              ..\..\roms\pc_portable

"cmd /c" works at my end. Have you tried it with absolute path in rompath?

On second thought you are calling a bat file from a bat file, so try the following:

1.
executable           cmd
args                 /c start "" "[romfilename]"

2.
executable           cmd
args                 /c call "[romfilename]"

Thanks rand0m your solutions brought me into the right way!

Emulator settings:

executable           cmd
args                 /c start "" "[romfilename]"
rompath              ..\..\roms\pc_portable\
romext               .bat
system               PC




.bat

cd %~dp0
mrboom\Mrboom.exe
exit
