Start program when mala start - SOLVED

[bllpla]

Hi i have a question about mala, is possible to add in the startup menu an option to load an external program ?
I use 3RVX for the volume control ingame and i like to load this automaticaly when the front end is loaded.

thanks in advance

2 ideas:
Just put it in your startup folder and let it run while windows is running.

or, you can write a .bat file that calls your volume program, then calls MaLa, and use that as your way to start MaLa.

too easy in this method
i have change the reg for start the front end automaticaly at startup.
I need to try with a batch or with script program "launch mala and after launch 3rvx" but i don't know if it works in the registry

Assuming your program is 3rvx.exe and its in your c:\drive root:, and Mala is at C:\Mala, Obviously change the directories and program names shown here to what you are using. 

open a text editor:
type in:

C:\3rvx.exe
C:\Mala\Mala.exe

save as MameStart.txt
rename to MameStart.bat

Then you can run mamestart.bat to run both programs

Or you could use my new Mala plugin "Control Choose", which just happens to have that option.
Run program on Mala start.
Run program on Mala exit.
Run Program on game start.
Run Program on game end.

Is this available for download somewhere?

Control Choose is currently still in beta mode. If you would like to try it, drop me a PM with your email addie and I can send it to you.
Once I feel like there are no bugs or any needed improvements, I plan to upload it to the malafe.net site.

Thanks DaOld Man.  I'll check it out when it's finished.  In the meantime, it looks like Mala Launcher will get the job done for me.
