Problem with interactive batch files

[daimon]

Dear all,

i face an issue with interactive batch files that are used to either start a dos game or install it from zip, if not already installed, and set other things based on user input (btw, yes - it is the exodos collection).

Unfortunately GameEx is only showing the command window with the running batch file if debug mode is on, but then a pause command is inserted in the runitgame.bat:

chcp 65001
C:
CD "C:\Emulators\eXoDOS"

<..some echo commands..>

PAUSE
C:\Emulators\eXoDOS\Games\!dos\3chlp.bat

The batch file called from runitgame.bat calls an auto created batch - e.g. 3chlp.bat:

@echo off
C:
CD "C:\Emulators\eXoDOS\Games\!dos\3chlp"
"C:\Emulators\eXoDOS\Games\!dos\3chlp\3 Card High Low Poker (1986).bat"

which then calls the original eXoDOS batch files (that use the choice command).

When debug mode is OFF, the cmd.exe and choice.exe process are runnning in the background and can not be accessed.

Question: Is there any way to run a batch file in the foreground without debug mode on?

(or could i get rid of the PAUSE in debug mode?)

(any other hints?)

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie here!

Thx

daimon

Hi daimon, and Welcome to the GameEx Forums!

When you have a moment, it would be awesome if you could post your support files so we can see how you're currently launching these games. This will help us make better suggestions towards a resolution. Generally the requested supporting information consists of your GameEx.ini and a copy of your GameEx log after having experienced an issue. Please review this thread for details.

If I were to guess, you might want to take a look at the Show Desktop setting found on the Advanced Emulator Setup screen in the Setup Wizard.
