Launch Emulator (Daphne) *but send no file name*

Issue #5730 new
Kermit Beaulieu created an issue

This seems like a simple feature request - and there may be another workaround that I'm not aware of.

I would like for LB/BB to have the ability to send no file name when launching an emulator - basically just run the associated "emulator". The "ROM" and other parameters could be done using a custom - per game command line parameters, already available to edit in the game edit menu.  This would allow me to launch Daphne directly using the rom w/o the need for an additional batch file.  This is an issue because LEDBlinky assumes that the first run batch file is the emulator and since the batch file closes as soon as the emulator starts my LED lighting reverts to LB/BB FE animations. 

Here is the situation: I'm using LEDBlinky with LB/BB and finally Daphne.  Everything works except that the way Daphne works with "ROM" files is a little different than other emulators on my system.  Most emulators except some form of command "Emulatorx ROMx" to start the emulator and load the rom.  Other parameters can also be added as needed and it's great that LB/BB has the ability to augment the command line to allow for modifications.  However, Daphne specifically needs to run via a batch file.  SO... normally the "ROM" is sent to a batch file that then sends configuration and launching instructions to Daphne.

I have tried multiple things to get around the issue.  My the allowance of launching the emulator with no file name sent would be the easiest and cleanest solution.  I have tested it using fake file names with success.
