Hello everybody.
I've configured two folders for sega model 2 emulator. Each folder with its own .exe for the emulator. One I'm gonna use to to launch default mode (Model2 folder) and the other to launch games in 16:9 stretch (model2_stretch folder).
To play games with 2 lightguns, I need demulshooter to run before de emulator and stay open. so I have a .bat file to lauch demulshooter.
For expample, to open House of the dead (hotd) the .bat file is named hotd.bat and the content is : C:\>\<demulshooter dir>\DemulShooter.exe -target=model2 -rom=hotd
Everything works great out of launchbox. I start the .bat and demulshooter opens. Then I start the emulator and the game and everything works. I've tried emulator in Model2 and the emulator in Model2_stretch and both work.
OK, the problem is when i want to do that from launchbox.
I've created two diferent emulatos for the platform Sega Model 2. One called "Model2" and one "Model2_stretch". Each one pointed to the exe y their folder. So now I can rightclic in the game and choose launch with...
Works too.
Now I go to the edit window of House of the dead and in additional apps tab add a app , name it "demulshooter" and point the path to the .bat and check "automatically run before main application".
That should work but it didn't.
When I clic the game and choose the emulator, the .bat doesn't start.
But if I right clic on the game and choose Additional apps-->demulshooter, it works.
I can play this way, but in Bigbox there is no Additional apps menú to start demulshooter.
Can someone help me, please?
[update]: actually, i've been doing more tests and automatically run app before main application doesn't work at all. I tested it with a snes game configured to launch with only retroarch and fill the additional app with a test .bat opening "google chrome". When I start the game, chrome never opens.
I'm probably doing somthing wrong but I don't know where
PD: run app after main app works ok
