How to Boot to EXE Game?
« on: February 24, 2016, 06:00:01 pm »
Hey, I'm sure there are other topics explaining this but I couldn't find them (A link would be great). Long story short I'm hoping to be using a Raspberry Pi to make a tabletop arcade cabinet. The problem is is that I want it to boot to whatever OS and then load a .exe game as seamlessly as possible without seeing much of the OS itself and then possibly shutting down the Pi if the game is closed out of. Its only going to be used for the one game so I don't need a front end for multiple games. Any input is appreciated :)

i think you are going to have to decide on an OS first. they can vary as to how to go about doing this.
