DOSBox Question - I'm sure it doesn't exist....

... but not sure if it's possible.

To put a switch command /record:on or whatever ( ) in the DOSBox command line to automatically begin recording.

For example for LSL7, it might be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox\DOSBox.exe" -conf "G:\Sierra\Leisure Suit Larry Series\LSL7_Collector\dosbox.conf" -noconsole

And if there was a:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox\DOSBox.exe" -conf "G:\Sierra\Leisure Suit Larry Series\LSL7_Collector\dosbox.conf" -noconsole -recordon

Like option so as soon as the game launches, it simply begins recording the game?

Right now I've got it so it calls a .BAT file to remind me to press CONTROL ALT F5. Which I remember to do most times.

Hmm. What does CTRL+ALT+F5 do? *curious* I tried running this command:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox\DOSBox.exe" -conf "G:\Sierra\Leisure Suit Larry 7\dosbox.conf" -noconsole -recordon

It started LSL7 as usual for me, just in the DOSBox window (as expected).

While I'm at it, I just tried starting DOSBox - both the usual version and the noconsole version - and they both brought up the usual Z:\ prompt, etc. What does "no console" mean, then?

with that build I gave you, you can enter the command
config -avistart
to the autoexec section on your configuration file

Oh sweet!

Control Alt F5 begins recording in DOSBox. (Which is how I make the videos for my Let's Play Sierra Games)

For the console stuff - if you go into your DOSBox directory there should be (for example) "DOSBox 0.74 Manual.txt" that goes into depth about everything.
