How can I run Ootake PC-Engine Emu form a Front-End?
« on: January 29, 2009, 11:44:24 am »
I was tryng to use the great Ootake PCE emulator (the best imho) from a frontend.

With normal roms there is no problem (It works with a simple command line):
"ootake.exe romname.ext"

I have a problem when I try to run CD games. I mount the CD image from a batch, but I don't know how to run Ootake from command line, without pressing the "Run CD" button.

I've tryed "ootake.exe -cd", "ootake.exe d:", "ootake.exe -cd-rom", with no success...

Any help appreciated.

It would probably be best to download AutoHotKey and create a script to launch it for you.  Simply point your front end to launch the compiled script and there you go.

AutoHotKey?
I was thinking to use AutoIt to press "C" (for cd) when the emu's window pops pup.

Can I do the same with autohotkey?
