Can a bat file or something be written so you dont need to right click the .exe and select run in, in other words can I make a shortcut for the kids in the start menu allowing the game to be run in VDMS mode?

When I insert a "game.exe" line inside a copie of VDMSRUN.bat, i will have no digital sound effects, only midi!?!?

If i use the VDMS Windows rightclick option everything goes fine. Why?

How can i use the same VDMS rightclick settings in a BAT file?
What goes wrong?

Create a shortcut to the program you want to run.

Right click the shortcut.

Select Properties from the drop-down menu.

Click on the Program tab at the top.

Replace the text in Cmd Line: with

%VDMSpath%\VDMSRun.bat <whatever.exe or .com or .bat>

Whatever.exe/com/bat = whatever file was already there.

Click apply.

Click OK.

Double click the shortcut.

...or download and install Launchpad (see Download page), LaunchPad can create "VDMSound shortcuts".

Where's the sport in that?!?!

J/K

I do it as a throw over from Pre-Launchpad days. I have 2 basic shortcuts (one for normal mode, and one for mt2gm), and 2 .ini files (same as above). I just copy and paste command lines into new shortcuts 😜 :->
