Start game without SVM menu?

Post by Dotz »

Hi,
I wanted to ask if its possible to start a game (e.g. fate of atlantis) in a direct way, what i mean is without clicking on the start button in the SVM menu. I thought of using a shortcut, is there a parameter i could use?

PS: Sorry for my english, im german *g*

If a path contains spaces, you need to put quotation marks around it. Also, you must not put "\" at the end of the path, so the command should be:

C:\Games\ScummVM\scummvm.exe -f -p"C:\Games\Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" atlantis
