Mixing roms and exe on a screen.

[justintime]

I searched and couldn't find an answer to this. 

Is there a way to have my layout set up so that on the list of games I can run regular mame roms but also mix in there some executables?   I have some autoit exe files that perform some actions on my arcade cabinet that I would like to be able to launch from within AM.   If not possible then at least I believe I can create a separate layout that hosts the scripts and launch from that screen instead. 

Edit:
 The homepage info states the following which I think is what I'm after:
Supports per-game customization of the game launch commandline (executable and parameters).

How is this implemented?

in emulators folder just add it to the config file for that system

Code: [Select]

#
executable           mame
workdir              $PROGDIR/emulators/mame
rompath              $PROGDIR/emulators/mame/roms
romext               .zip;.chd;.exe
system               Arcade
args               [name]

Not sure I follow.  You added .exe is all?

I want to have a specific exe  file let's say "autoitscript.exe" among all the games in my mame display.   When I select that exe it would know to launch the corresponding exe file? How would I even configure this in the romlist  file ?
