General / How to launch two or more programs when game is selected

« on: January 15, 2017, 12:35:06 AM »

Hi all,

I would need to ask you how to run two or more programs when I choose some game/rom.

AttractMode (v2.2.1) runs on linux system and I have Vice emulator configured successfully. I want to launch AntiMicro - https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro before 'x64' will run.

I have tried this procedure:
- modified emulator:

Code: [Select]

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.2.1
#
executable           $HOME/.attract/script/vice.sh
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              /run/media/yullaw/Samsung/_yullaw_/Stary_PC/Hry/Commodore_64/
romext               .zip;.d64
system               Commodore 64
info_source          listsoftware
import_extras        /home/yullaw/.attract/romlists/vice.xml
exit_hotkey          Escape
artwork    flyer           /run/media/yullaw/Samsung/_yullaw_/Stary_PC/Hry/Commodore_64/flyer/
artwork    marquee         /run/media/yullaw/Samsung/_yullaw_/Stary_PC/Hry/Commodore_64/marquees/
artwork    snap            /run/media/yullaw/Samsung/_yullaw_/Stary_PC/Hry/Commodore_64/videosnaps/;/run/media/yullaw/Samsung/_yullaw_/Stary_PC/Hry/Commodore_64/snaps/
artwork    wheel           /run/media/yullaw/Samsung/_yullaw_/Stary_PC/Hry/Commodore_64/wheels/

- created script:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
antimicro &
x64 &

It does not work with x64 /path/to/rom/folder/"[romfilename]" & as well, but works with x64 /path/to/rom/folder/Batty.zip &. But then the game Batty is launched always.

Does anybody have an idea how to? Thanks!
