execute a command line before launching a config for a game

turrican3 · 11 July 2009, 22:28

Sorry if it was asked before.
you could add a place in the gui where we could write a line of commands to : monut an iso, shut down windows explorer, disable some windows services, close unecessary applications and surely more and more things.
what do you think about the idea.

and a second to enable all we disabled and unmount iso.

Like this no necessary to build an iso mounter for winuae.

don't kick me if it's a stupid idea or you if you don't like it.

I asked for it because i have a problem my yahoo widgets.
when i launch a winuae config and display often in 640 x 480 my widget have changing places together each widget are in the same place they are regrouped and after all all widgets crash and i have to stop every widgets and relaunched them.
with the system i asket you, i could disalbe widget and renable them when the emulation is finished.
or if you have an another idea to let my widget to an unchanged place when i launch amiga games =;

thanks in advance

Do you mean having path to batch file/executable in each config file and it gets executed when emulation is started?

Or

Do you mean batch file/executable is executed before winuae.exe is run and another file is executed when winuae exits (alt-f4 etc..)? (This is already possible except last important piece has not been released yet..)

i mean this one : Do you mean having path to batch file/executable in each config file and it gets executed when emulation is started?

but this one : batch file/executable is executed before winuae.exe is run and another file is executed when winuae exits (alt-f4 etc..)? (This is already possible except last important piece has not been released yet..) seems good to but i prefere the first one if you have just to realease one.

sorry for my bad explanations

Toni, you don't tell if you think it's a good or a bad idea ?
like i said it could be used to mount an iso or close windows and applications etc ..."

No, I don't

Seriously, easy to do if manual config file editing is fine for you (GUI option is too boring)

turrican3 · 15 July 2009, 14:54

yes a config file editing could be great !!!!!!

turrican3 · 16 July 2009, 00:25

If you did it, could you look to something ?
I remember with savestate : you can load a savestate directly at launch (you have to write it in the config file) but if you save again on this config, it delete the savestate line and you have to write it every time !
Is it possible to protect these line to be deleted ? the savestate line and if you do it the launch execute line ?

Thanks in advance

Not sure what this have to do with command lines..

My crystal ball tells me that you mean icons and/or window positions getting messed up after returning from fullscreen mode. This is not WinUAE problem, you will notice this in any other fullscreen game too. (btw, this appears to be fixed in Windows 7)

(or does my crystal ball still need more repairs?)
