[QUOTE="Atreides, post: 649676, member: 78246"] Alright sorry it took all day but I am on my HTPC now so I can help you out. What I did was make a bat file called nothing.bat , now this is what I put in for the emulator in myemulators. Then I put the folder with all the shortcuts to the pc games and say that that is the rom file, and then the extension .lnk is the extension I put. Now all you have to do is populate that folder (the pc shortcut folder) with the shortcuts you created for your pc games exe. Now the nothing.bat doesnt have to have anything in it. I think I originally put a %1 in it if that helps, but my big problem was I couldn't suspend mediaportal to play the games because it would launch the bat file, and the bat file would pop up and then instantly close, so mediaportal would come back up. So I had to use autoIT to solve this. I made an autoit file that would stay open until the cmd, box that my bat file (nothing.bat) pulled up, was closed. I had my bat file launch the autoit exe so the bat file would also stay open, thus making mediaportal stay suspended until I closed down the game, and then hit the x in the cmd file to close that, then MP would pop back up. I realize this may be confusing so I have attached my bat file and autoit exe into a rar file, so you just need to unrar it and put them in the same folder and you should be good to go.
