ok, ive been playing with the bob. ive used the little application that automatically switches to tv mode on start up (dont have the link right now). that works fine, but can i have it also go straight to an emu (mame in particular) as well. seems a bit silly to have to navigate with the gp2x to go to mame or picodrive, especially if the machine is nicely tucked into a cradle near the telly while youre all comfy on the lounge...

so, can this be done?

The autorun.gpe in the root of the SD card can point to whatever you want.

It is really just a batch file, open it in a text editor that supports Unix line endings (AKA not windows notepad), and change the name to point where you want it.

If the TV utility is running from that file, just add your program after the TV tool and let it run.
