Maximus Arcade PC game support leaves much to be desired!
I tend to agree with this at the moment. I've been trying to get Luxor to run through MA and have been unsuccessful so far. I've tried it with a batch file several different ways and tried using a shortcut instead of the batch file with the same results. The game tries to start and with a flash on the screen it exits the game. I'm lost with this unfortunately.
DESCRIPTION: BATCH FILES
Batch files are programs that allow MS-DOS and Windows users to create a file to perform long tasks fast. Such as opening certain programs ran frequently, deleting or managing files, etc. Simple batch files do not require any special programming skills. A prime example of a batch file for someone whom may know more about Windows would be relating a batch file to a shortcut in Windows. Batch files like shortcuts are a small file which is used to run frequently accessed programs. Detailed information about creating batch files can be read about here.
Creating a batch file is easy and only requires a text editor such as Notepad. Simply create a text file (.txt) and rename the extension to batch format (.bat). Below is an example of a batch file to open the PC game StarWars Battlefront. The most important lines are the last three. Those lines indicate the drive, executable path, and executable to open when the batch file is launched.
:: Runs Star Wars Battlefront
::
@ECHO OFF
D:
CD \Star Wars Battlefront\GameData
Battlefront.exe
The last three lines of information are also scanned by MA in an attempt to monitor which executable(s) was opened. This feature allows MA to quit all of the executables when prompted to do so when the user presses the PREVIOUS/QUIT EXECUTABLE key.
