Title: Launch a program from the "collection"
Post by: cassette on January 02, 2018, 10:17:22 PM

Hey guys. I'm talking about the main menu that you would normally use to enter a system and then the games. Except instead of entering a system, I'd like the menu entry to launch a program - for example a "Steam" entry that opens Steam.exe. How would I go about doing this?

I'm pretty sure you can either put an exe or a batch file in the Main collection's rom directory and it will add it to the main menu.

AFAIK, the default launcher setup in the latest releases should indeed support that.
