there different ways. see here (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=555.0):

via plugin
via external script software (like autoit)
via cmd + start two different executeables (see here. section OpenBOR (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=503.msg4231#msg4231))

Edit: and the command for running a program from a script is described here: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/blob/master/Layouts.md#plugin_command

i can set this this code on emulator.cfg?

I'm not a programmer / software engineer / coder.

Have a look at your AM folder. there is a folder called plugins.
for plugins in AM : you have to create there a .nut file and activate it under AM (start AM > press TAB key > Plug-Ins > choose your_plugin > Enabled : Yes

Code: [Select]

#RequireAdmin
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <GamePadEx.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Sleep (100)
Global $myGamePadHandle = GPExInitialize() ; Get a handle. This doesn't have to be global but needs to be passed to all the other functions.
Global $myID = 0 ; We want to monitor the default GamePad

Global $gameRom = $CmdLine[1]
LogMessage("richiesta avvio rom " & $gameRom)

Run("C:\Cabinato\Emulatori\demul07a_221215\demul.exe -run=awave -rom=" & $gameRom)
Run("C:\Cabinato\Emulatori\demul07a_221215\DemulShooter.exe -target=demul07a -noresize -widescreen -v -rom=" & $gameRom)

While 1
Sleep(10)
$testrawdata = GPExGetRawData($myGamePadHandle, $myID) ; Get almost every data possible from the gamepad. Returns in an array with 8 elements.
if $testrawdata[7]= (768) and ProcessExists("DemulShooter.exe") Then
        LogMessage("chiusura processi..."")
ProcessClose ( "demul.exe" )
ProcessClose ( "DemulShooter.exe" )
LogMessage("chiusura processi completata"")
Exit
EndIf
WEnd

Func LogMessage($logMessage)
   _FileWriteLog(@ScriptDir & "\launcher.log", $logMessage)
EndFunc

i tried to write an autoit script. but it doesn't work. can you help me?
