Here is the deal: I want to have a batch file that gives me a list of about 8 games. The first one opens by activating the batch file. When P1+P2 is hit, it exits and the next game loads up. I want an endless cycle of this. How do I write that in a batch file? |
| SavannahLion:
Use a GOTO For example --- Quote ---:BEGINNING Do your thing here goto BEGINNING --- End quote --- Keep in mind this is an endless loop. You might need to build an :DONE and an IF statement to search for an escape. |

Well for this weekend I'm using my good desktop PC as a temp setup. I'll just get to the desktop and cancel the msdos window. The final setup will be in DOS, so I'll just shut her down without messing with it. |

Wow, that was fun! It looped alright...to infinity and beyond! Now can someone help me figure out how to add a pause between each command? I don't mean a PAUSE command (hit space to continue), but a command that would start the next command as soon as I exit the first program. I assume I would have to monitor the status of MAME running or something, right? |

You could use the start command with a wait switch. Like: start /wait notepad.exe |
