Arcade Cabinet Custom Attract loop using autohotkey. (Bigbox + Retroarch)

I got this great idea this morning that the attract mode would be alot more attractive if it actually launched games, so I made this script. Super easy mode if anybody wants to try it. If any wizards want to make a better version of the script that sleeps when you're playing a game, then turns back on. That would be even better!
