Im back at this.
I'm using the wrapper created by Howard_Casto which is awesome.
Got the game to close on escape, launch with the correct rotation, it launches in fullscreen...........and Coin 1 + 2 are mapped to key 5!
So that is all perfect.............. however when launching the EXE via MaLa it pulls up the settings.
So I created a batch file, I kept one copy in the Fix It Felix Jr folder itself, the other in a folder named "batch files."
The batch file simply has the EXE name and is saved in the correct format.
However when I launch it I get the following error : Failed to execute program Felix (name of the file). Error code 2
Please help !
