Launch Daphne (via DOS batch file) from Mame?
Smeghead:
Just like it says..........
Is there any way to launch a batch file from Mame? Could you fool Mame that instead of launching a Mame game kick off a .bat instead?
My Daphne games launch from a DOS batch file (from within Windows) but it'd be cool to be able to go from Mame to a laserdisc game using only the joystick/buttons
This maybe a simple NO answer, just wondering as I dont know much about how Mame works
Maybe I could just set one of the IPAC inputs to input a key combination that windows is set to watch for then launch Daphne

Whats your front end, I've been told MALA can do it, but I haven't had any luck yet. If I remember right, there is a post by UncleT floating around which gives instructions on how to do this. Another thing that would be useful is launching games from different versions of Mame. So you could have fast Ms. Pac and Fast Galaga shoot in the same list.

are you not using a front end of any sort?
to be honest just using a FE would prob be a more logical way to have Daphne launch

Excellent choice!
I'm at work now, but tonight I can post the command lines for Atomic - I have all the Daphne games working on my cab...
