Renaming a file before launching the emulator question

[Jav1]

I need to rename a file before launching the emulator with a specific ROM. I've already added this ROM to LaunchBox. I can easily write a .bat or .exe app to do that but where should I  call it from LaunchBox. Is there a section in the app to achieve this? I have the LaunchBox/BigBox latest version.

Thanks.

Well, I suppose I can also add another emulator in LaunchBox (which would be a clone of the other one but with the renamed file). Is there another way?

If it's just for the one game, you can Edit that game.  Add a new Additional Application and point the path to your renmameThatFile.bat file.  Check the box "Run BEFORE main application". Once done, click OK to save and close.

Nice! That did the trick.

Thanks!
