@kjbstar to be honnest, the real deal is to make ES launch the rom for sooooo many reasons. The main one being that es knows how to launch properly configgen. I would dream of a dbus interface to tell es to launch a game, but that's sime complicated duty for my very lacking skills in C++.

The other trick i tried was linux signal handles to tell es to "hibernate" the same way it does when starting an emulator. Despite the "sleep" signal was working great, the wakeup was very painful, as es lost quite some textures. It would even crash after several launches.

Someone contacted me telle ng me he succeeded in adding a socket server in es to launch roms and it worked very good. He doesn't want to push his.commits because his code looks more like a proof of concept, but I do hope he'll contribute "soon" 🙂
