## If you want to auto load a game put it here
#/boot/launchers/advmame.sh simpsons


do I just change simpsons to the game that I want to boot too?
thanks

Yes, make sure you change to which emulator rom is in, best to use notepad++ (free download)

EXAMPLE:

## If you want to auto load a game put it here
/boot/launchers/mame172.sh aliens

quick question, I'm trying to set this up for my vertical cabinet.

I've updated this in my run.sh and I'm getting esprade to start up

/boot/launchers/fba.sh esprade >/dev/null 2>&1

However, it's starting the game not in vertical mode. Any suggestions?
