if you use batch or links, you need an external software too.
you received in your last post an AHK script.

or you add it complete to AM.
Probably works:

Code: [Select]

executable           M:\Emulators\Aamber Pegasus\mame64.exe
args                 pegasus -romimage1 "[romfilename]" -autoboot_command "\n\n\ng\n\n1\n1\n1"
rompath              M:\Emulators\Aamber Pegasus\Games
romext               .bin
system               Aamber Pegasus
info_source          thegamesdb.net
exit_hotkey          Escape

direct config load in Mame
it seems that there exist a command -debugscript (see here (https://docs.mamedev.org/commandline/commandline-all.html))
probably it's possible to load this commands from textfile.
but I don't know how it works.

OR

read rom from romlist and load commands from Rating field too
See similar here (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=3932.msg27472#msg27472)

-Goto your romlist : your_AM_folder\romlists\your_emulator.txt

-there is something like this:

Code: [Select]

#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons;Series;Language;Region;Rating
MyGame1;MyGame1;MyEmulator;;;Konami;Action, Fighting;1;;;;;;;MyGame1;;;;;;
MyGame2;MyGame2;MyEmulator;;;Konami;Action, Fighting;1;;;;;;;MyGame2;;;;;;
MyGame3;MyGame3;MyEmulator;;;Konami;Action, Fighting;1;;;;;;;MyGame3;;;;;;
-the last column is for Rating. Just add your command behind the correct romfile:

Code: [Select]

#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons;Series;Language;Region;Rating
MyGame1;MyGame1;MyEmulator;;;Konami;Action, Fighting;1;;;;;;;MyGame1;;;;;;"\n\n\ng\n\n1\n1\n1"
MyGame2;MyGame2;MyEmulator;;;Konami;Action, Fighting;1;;;;;;;MyGame2;;;;;;"\n\n\nT\n\n1\n1\n1"
MyGame3;MyGame3;MyEmulator;;;Konami;Action, Fighting;1;;;;;;;MyGame3;;;;;;"\n\n\ni\n\n1\n1\n1"
-set this config in AM:

Code: [Select]

args                 pegasus -romimage1 "[romfilename]" -autoboot_command "[Rating]"or

Code: [Select]

args                 pegasus -romimage1 "[romfilename]" -autoboot_command [Rating]
AM loads your rom and read the entry from "Rating"-field too
