PrgLnch Pic

Welcome to the PrgLnch Wiki!

Project created with AutoHotkey launches programs according to resolution, monitors, and more.

In particular:

Recommended for older games (or programs) having limited in-game resolutions, or those games or utilities best run in Batch on multi monitor configurations. For those with rapidly devolving vowels, this program endeavours to bring a special consonance between the Prg of execution and the operating host channeled by an aura of immaculate Lnch! Could there be some kind of karma permeating through the outer shell of Prg already?... ☕

Features:

  • Selectable Resolution for Prg
  • Batch Processing of Prgs
  • Prg Info Stored in ini File
  • Support for Prg on Multiple Displays
  • Http Download to Update Prg
  • Optional LAA Patch which can be Applied to Prg
  • An Additional Serving of Delectable Oddities Available to Prg of Limited Perceivable Use

Accompanied by a bunch of explanatory ramblings wrapped up in a contextual help file.

Requirements: Windows- (XP and up that can run 64 bit code.)

Status: Late Beta Release.

Download: Blob included in git.

Handle downloaded file: (The signed PrgLnch code will not preclude a few Defender and SmartScreen warnings. Those can be changed or muted according to the option list selection atop the Apps & Features section in Windows Settings.)

What to do? Check that additional monitors for use are connected to the desktop, (one working monitor is fine). Copy the file into a folder of choice, (if the package is zipped, extract exe) then launch PrgLnch. It creates an ini file if one is not present, else most extant ini files from 1.X are compatible. To get started with Bethesda game mods now, go to the NexusMods Oblivion page. Click Prg Config, and choose an empty slot on the top left to add or drag in desired program (Prg), checking options for the Prg such as resolution, options for resolution, priority, command line parameters and the rest. Use the button (question mark at top right of dialog) for context help, also refer to "Getting Started" section in Help.
