 +====== PC Games and Others ======
 +
 +The easiest way to launch other games/apps is to do this: on your desktop create a folder called "PopperLinks" or any other folder you'd like.
 +
 +In that folder you want to create 'shortcut links' to the games/programs you want to launch in Popper. as many as you'd like. Just remember to add any parameters to for the links on the shortcut properties.
 +
 +In English windows the extension for shortcut links is LNK. So we need to create an emulator that uses LNK files as the extension.
 +
 +You could also create BAT files in the same folder and set the externsion for emulator to be LNK,BAT

 +
 +Oncy you are certain all your shortcuts work by running them outside of Popper do the following:
 +
 +===== Step 1 =====
 +
 +is to add a new emulator and setup like this. Remember to point the "games Folder" to the folder that contains all your shortcuts that you already created.
 +
 +{{:1373ac8cb5b082ed6126093e600a25d6.png}}
 +
 +Then step you setup the launch setup like this:
 +
 +Launch Script:
 +
 +<code>
 +START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 5 1 5 "timeout"
 +cd /d "[DIRGAME]"
 +start "" "[GAMEFULLNAME]"
 +</code>
 +
 +Close Script:
 +
 +<code>
 +"[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE" WINTIT "[CUSTOM1]" 4 1
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Step 2 =====
 +
 +Then you go to games manager and scan your new emulator and add all the LNK shortcuts as games.
 +
 +lastly, you need to know the name of the "windows title" of the actual game/program uses. So that Popper on close can tell the window to close down as well. When you run your program, alt-tab in windows and note the window title that appear for your game/program.
 +
 +Lets says you find the windows title to be "Pineapple Express"
 +
 +So we need to go to game manager and find the new game you added and set the "custom launch parameter' to the window title "Pineapple Express".
 +
 +That should be it. worst case you cannot close the program with its title and you'll have to exit your game/title manually and just press the Popper Exit Emu Key afterwards to get back to Popper.
