Request: Command Line Paramaters for DOS games (Probably some Windows games too.) #28

Closed BoneofMalkav closed 6 years ago

I noticed that there's nothing for adding additional command line paramters for DOS and Windows games (example. Loading Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall using FALL.EXE Z.CFG) Was wondering if you could add a text field for that in the Edit Game window.

Thanks for your suggestions, will look into it!

For the Windows games: You can always create a link file (.lnk) and launch that instead of the game's .exe. In the link properties you can define command line parameters.

For DOS: a workaround could be that you create a .bat file which launches the game's .exe incl. command line parameters.

I decided that this requirement will not be realized in the launcher. For DOS: create a .bat file and use this as the MAIN executable For WIN: create a .lnk file and use this as the game's executable
