[5thWolf]

With several DOS games once you run the EXE it ask for setup selections like this:

Anyone help me a make a DOS .bat file that runs the exe and hits the keys I choose.

Example:

start.exe
4
2
y

Adapted from here, this MIGHT work.  If nothing else, it gets you in the right direction of what you need to do.

@if (@CodeSection == @Batch) @then
@echo off
set SendKeys=CScript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0"

start "" start.exe

ping -n 2 -w 1 127.0.0.1 > NUL
%SendKeys% "4"

ping -n 2 -w 1 127.0.0.1 > NUL
%SendKeys% "2"

ping -n 2 -w 1 127.0.0.1 > NUL
%SendKeys% "y"

goto :EOF
@end

var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.SendKeys(WScript.Arguments(0));

The 2 in "ping -n 2..." is a 2 second 'pause'.  Adjust accordingly

 

It may (or may not) be easier to do this using an AutoHotkey script.

I will try it!

I could also try AHK since LB allows per game if you know what it would be!
