is it posible to launch lnk?

[gonchal2004]

hi i openes another post but no one could help me so i open this one with a more gneric question. Do anyone knows how to launch lnks (shotcuts to games like pc, epsxecutor....) with no problem, and no complicated bats, wrappers...)

i have tried the method of put them in a folder and tne senkey={ENTER}. the game starts perfectly but in 5 seconds gamex minimizes the game and retur to main list. Sounds like a bug, i don´t know.

Only problem with launching games and apps with lnk is you cant map keys to return to gameex.

Could you please tell me how do you configure game ex to work lnk?. Because i have tried a lot of things and allways happendes the same to me: autoreturns to game ex 5 seconds before the game starts.

If you want to lauch a pc game id recomend not using the shortcut, But locate the *.exe file

i use winTV as an external app and im able to close it and return to gameex using only an MCE remote its the Clear button which i think is the ESC key

is there not a switch ya can use for psxexectuor?

Epsx.exe -"link path" or something?

or possibly save the config and load the rom and saved config on the cmd line for PSXexecutor

Hope this helps or gives you an idea to try

Well i have tried to epsxecutor -load config name but has the same problem. I don´t know other way to do it.

For PC games, I quite often have to have ShowDesktop=true. Also, it may not help much, but I wrote a little command line tool that will launch a lnk and wait for it to finish. It's called runwaitlnk
