Need help launching Steam games

[gtfomyporch]

So I got everything setup except for being able to properly launch steam games. Config is setup as below

executable           C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe
args                 -applaunch [name]
rompath              C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\common\SteamApps
romext               <DIR>
system               PC
info_source          steam
minimum_run_time     5

I noticed in the cmd line that it does try to do the exe with the args, but just hangs. Now, if I edit the game name to the STEAMAPPID number then it launches perfectly. So I guess my question is, do I need to rename everything so that instead of the title all the artwork/videos/etc is just the STEAMAPPID instead of the game name?

Steam uses his own manifest-files (*.acf). So just download attractmode and use standard settings:

Code: [Select]

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.1.0
#
executable           C:\attract\EMU\Steam\Steam.exe
args                 -applaunch [name]
rompath              C:\attract\EMU\Steam\SteamApps
romext               .acf
system               PC
info_source          steam
