Launch file with Steam Game?

[Black Mage]

I'd like to open 2 AHKS when a steam game opens through GameEx Arcade.  There's no Launch Also for Steam though.  How can I do that?  Is there an .initial I can steal from somewhere else in GameEx Arcade?

Hey @Black Mage,

If GameEx Arcade works at all like GameEx proper then no, you can't. Steam, Uplay etc are all plug n play, which basically means they can be launched, media and info gathered, but they cannot be manipulated. (to the extent that you want)

You can manipulate them however, but within Steam itself (using your scripts)

You may be able to setup Steam to run as a standalone emulator slot. There is a pinned topic in the FAQ section  of the forums you can use as a guide.

Why couldn't you just use the QuickLaunch plugin for this? You can do before, after or also launch for Steam (or any emulator for that matter)

He/she can, under both of your pretenses. And it may well work. To start with. But what when your library becomes over 200 entries? Not including game updates as well as GameEx itself. The issue the OP is highlighting is the limitations of Steam itself, not the mechanisms of GameEx.

Fair point, but the OP asked specifically about "Also Launch", which while not supported in the GameEx GUI, is in the QuickLaunch plugin. [emoji41]

So he has two options to choose from. Works for me!

Thanks guys.  I'll look into the quick launch plugin.
