"Run with" context menu to be able to run each rom with multiple emulators

Issue #1005 resolved
Imgema created an issue

After having setup multiple emulators for each platform, there is no way to actually use them all unless i go through menus and edit the emulator i want to use for each game. But if i want to test each game with multiple emulators then this becomes a very inconvenient and slow process.

A good way to access all your emulators would be a "run with" menu when you right click on a rom. Then you select which one of the associated emulators to use and that's it. No fiddling with menus and changing settings. The default emulator will still be used when you just double click on a rom.

    I like the idea but it should be an addition option in the BB game menu. I think a lot of people that use BB are on a cabinet or HTPC setup and don't want to use a mouse or keyboard for anything. Having this would give us a way to leverage the RocketLauncher "Pause" feature directly from BB without having to run the game.

    I also really miss this functionality from other frontends. On a given system some emulators can sun some set of games and other another set of games.

    This is essential for me. what would be great is in Big Box mode, if you could launch the game with another emulator just by pressing a single key or combination (Controllers included). I'm always looking to config my setup so I don't ever need the use of a keyboard and mouse, but still get multiple options.

    It's really important for my usage. I use multiple displays so I need multiple launch options, even with same emulator I need presets and switch between them. Example, I use a second monitor, so I want to choose which one I need to launch with the right settings. Thank you
