Trying to launch my dos games from desktop shortcuts. Need to write a bat file (if its possible) to do this for each game that needs to run in dosbox
have dosbox setup so it mounts c already
I have a batch that launches dosbox
@echo off
echo cannon fodder
start C:\DOSBox-0.65\DOSBox.exe
Next I need to get this batch file to enter the following commands into dosbox (these ones are for cannon fodder)
cd cf
cf_eng.exe
so that i can place a shortcut to this batch on my desktop called cannon fodder n change the icon to cannon fodder icon. I can then make a new batch for each game, edit the cd and file to execute and create a shorcut so I can launch all my dos games in dosbox but still have them shortcutted to the desktop.
If its not possible to do this is there another way such as having lots of shortcuts to the dosbox executable with the command line containing the commands to be run (cd and the exe to run)
or even another way altogether I havent though of
Cheers
