## Using Singe 2.00 (Windows) with a launcher

If you're using a frontend like Launchbox, you can launch each game with separate parameters by preparing batch files for each of them.

* Go in your Singe directory.
* Make a new text file, you will change its extension to .bat once finished.
* Using a text editor, write this :
* Singe-v2.00-Windows-x86\_64.exe -k -w -z -d data -v *folder of the game\video or movie folder\video file of the game.mp4 folder of the game\script folder(or not if script in root)\name of script.singe*
	+ Here is my example for Mad Dog McCree:`Singe-v2.00-Windows-x86_64.exe -k -w -z -d data -v Maddog_McCree_Singe_2\Video\maddog.mp4 Maddog_McCree_Singe_2\Script\maddog.singe`
	+ The -k parameter removes the SInge splash screen
	+ The -w parameter runs Singe in fullscreen window
	+ The -z parameter removes the console screen, so nothing to close upon exiting Singe
	+ You can add parameter -n to remove crosshair in gun games if you prefer.
	+ Based on the original Menu.bat, if you want every laserdisc index file to be in the same subfolder, you can keep parameter -d data to your command line. Else, the index file will be created in the game subfolder.
	+ -v points to the video file. The video file can be found by opening in notepad the "games.dat" file that is in the game folder.
		- Example: my video file path for Mad Dog Mcree is: `-v Maddog_McCree_Singe_2\Video\maddog.mp4`
	+ The script file can be found by opening in notepad the "games.dat" file that is in the game folder.
		- Example: the script for Mad Dog McCree for me is:`Maddog_McCree_Singe_2\Script\maddog.singe`
* Save your file
* Change the extension to .bat
* Try it!
* Drag and drop the file in launchbox to add the game if this is your preferred launcher, other launchers can use different methods.
* Repeat for every Singe game in your collection.
* Enjoy!

## Action Max

Action Max .bat files can be built a little differently.  Instead of a direct video path you can use the -v command to link to the games frame file.  This will insert the original intro video into the games.  So for ambush valley, the intro video will then play after selecting a game type

### Batch file example

```
Singe-v2.00-Windows-x86_64.exe -k -w -z -d data -v ActionMax/frame_38AmbushAlley.txt ActionMax\38AmbushAlley.singe

```

## Add Border

Although not mentioned in the emulator's "help" output, the "-g" or "--sindengun" argument allows for Singe to draw the borders required by the Sinden Light Gun while scaling the game content to fit inside it.

For example, at a minimum, you should specify a decently sized white border and a minimum black border:

```
Singe-v2.00-Windows-x86_64.exe -g "10 1"

```
