Title: Outrun 2 Teknoparrot - .bat file to boot game?
Post by: esoteric_rt on November 07, 2021, 04:40:42 pm

I'm in the process of converting an Initial D to Outrun 2

I need the PC to boot Outrun 2 SPDX in Teknoparrot when windows starts

What would the text in a .bat file need to be?

Thanks

Mine seems to contain 3 lines to actually run the game. You may not even need the first two, in which case remove them or "rem" them out. But i run a few programs alongside the game and want to make sure it actually runs.

cd\
cd C:\games\TeknoParrotUi
start C:\games\TeknoParrotUi\TeknoParrotUi.exe --profile=OR2SPDLX.xml

There's a directory under teknoparrot called profiles, i think it might be. just use the profile you want in the line above to run the game you want.

It worked great, thanks

I only needed the last line (and to amend for my file locations):

start C:\games\TeknoParrotUi\TeknoParrotUi.exe --profile=OR2SPDLX.xml

Then you just place the .bat file in the windows startup folder
