Launch single game

[johey]

I'm new to Attract Mode. Have just configured it to run MAME as the one and only emulator.

Now I would like to add a few standalone games. Stepmania is one example. It is a game that is installed and can be started by launching StepMania.exe from its working directory.

Is it possible to do this with Attract Mode? If so, how?

Thanks in advance,

I can reply to myself, because I managed to solve it. Simply by using CMD as the emulator and use .bat files as "roms". Each .bat file launches one game. In my case I created stepmania.bat as the only standalone game, but there will probably be more. Works awesomely.

you can simply use shortcuts / links too.

right button on .exe > send shortcut to desktop > move it to a "main romfolder" > use .lnk as extension:

executable           cmd
args                 /c "[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\attract\EMU\windows_games\roms
romext               .lnk;.bat
