Anyone tried the new King of Fighters XIII on their cab?

Thanks,

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but I stumbled upon a site today that shows what games are on sale on popular sites:  http://www.steamgamesales.com/

Facebook has a group called https://www.facebook.com/groups/gamebundlesandsales/  that lists low cost bundles.  Raiden Legacy was on there a few days ago.

I've incorporated these games into my front-end and they're working for the most part, there are still a few things to iron out.

When put in offline mode, when the first steam game is launched there is a pop-up message telling you that it's in offline mode and asking you to connect.  You need the mouse to click stay in offline mode.  This isn't required again unless the computer is restarted.
Not so bad if you have a trackball and mouse buttons, but a dealbreaker otherwise.

Having it automatically connect results in it staying hidden unless I've been signed in on another computer in which case it asks me to enter my password...and it doesn't remember it even though the box was checked.  Again, nuisance keyboard and mouse requirement....
As long as I haven't logged in on another computer though, it works like any PC game.

However, I found this list of command line parameters that look like they could eliminate these issues.

Haven't tried these yet.

I'm hoping this options suppresses the offline mode popup, as I don't plan to play any of the games on the standup cab online:

--- Quote ----silent - This suppresses the dialog box that opens when you start steam. It is used when you have Steam set to auto-start when your computer turns on. (Steam must be off for this to work).
--- End quote ---


Worst case scenario is:

--- Quote ----login %u %p - This logs into Steam with the specified Username and Password combination. Replace %u with the username, and %p with the password you want to login with (Steam must be off for this to work).
--- End quote ---
I'm not sure having your username and password stored in a batch file to launch steam is a good idea, but we do whatever it takes to get the games working with only arcade controls.

Any success with getting the box to not pop up?
