making it boot to a specific game

[fud]

is there an easy way to make this boot up to a specific game?
I want it to load the same game every time I turn the cabinet on.
Thank you.

use notepad++ to edit (Google it,free dowload) the run.sh file as noted in link above.

# If you want to auto load a game put it here
/boot/launchers/advmame.sh 1943 >/dev/null 2>&1

advmame.sh 1943 is the example in the link

1943 will always launch first in this example

Following the example in run.sh will set the board to boot to a single game. If that is the only change you make exiting the game will load the game selection menu.

If you want the board to only run one game you can add a reset command to the next line and disable the exit hotkey. With it set like this there is no way to exit the game and if it did happen to crash the system would reboot into the same game again.

As @cool_factor mentioned use Notepad++ to edit any Linux related files on a Windows box. The built in Windows editors will change (unseen) details of the file and tend to break things.

Thanks very much guys. I'll give it a try after I backup my SD card!
