I am creating an Arcade cabinet and would like to use a single program to launch the varius emulators. Also is there anyway i can have this program i am creating launch at startup automatically? I know these might be basic question but i have only taken one VB class and we didn't even touch on this kind of stuff. I don't need tons of source code just the basic commands and i will figure it out from there. Thanks in advance!
