i need to get this parameter on the program's command line when i try to run it with vdms. but i dont know how to do it
what i mean: the program file, named atlantis.exe, needs to get a 's' as a parameter to enable soundblaster. but i havent figured out how to do it. im novice at vdms, but i looked in the readme and searched the forums.
i think i need to use the launch pad. the problem is: what is the launch pad? i cant get aware of it , maybe because i have a spanish windows version?
thanks in advance

Assuming atlantis is a DOS game (is this Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis? If so, skip VDMSound and use SCUMMVM

Back to VDMSound... Depending on the version of VDMSound you've installed, Launchpad is either an add-on or built-in. Either way Launchpad is a Windows shell extension that is active for certain file types (exe, bat, om and possibly others!).

When you right click on any one of these files, say atlantis.exe, you should see a a menu item "run with VDMS" shown with a musical note by the side of it. Select this and you'll be presented with the VDMSound Configuration Wizard. Choose custom configuration, create new, Advanced and you'll be shown a dialog with multiple tabs. The current tab will be 'Program' and here you'll be able to enter in the program's arguments.

Hope that helps
