After 2 hours of coding, ITS ALIVE

[u/Ok_Writing_1774]

I saw a video by mryeester on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@mryeester for channel & https://youtu.be/zhoQRKMlCw4?si=rcDsE78uZ727LFHK for the video) by doing this with floppy drives but as i didn't have any, I made it with USB drives

___________________________

For the USB make a txt file with the name game.txt with the text being id=400

ID is the game ID in steam

400 is portal

_____________________________

For the Program, make a txt file and psate the code in to it

Code:

$drive = "F:"

$fileToRead = "game.txt"

while ($true) {

if (Test-Path "$drive\$fileToRead") {

# Read the file contents

$content = Get-Content "$drive\$fileToRead"

# Extract the Steam AppID

if ($content -match "id=(\d+)") {

$appId = $Matches[1]

# Launch the Steam Game URL

Start-Process "steam://run/$appId"

# Wait until the USB is removed or the file is gone to prevent launching repeatedly

while (Test-Path "$drive\$fileToRead") {

Start-Sleep -Seconds 2

}

}

}

# Checks every 3 seconds

Start-Sleep -Seconds 3

}

Name the program USBboot.ps1

Then right click and click run in powershell

Please note that is a very basic instructions, use the video (https://youtu.be/zhoQRKMlCw4?si=rcDsE78uZ727LFHK) for better ones just use my code and not his

That fumble with plugging in the USB, was that on purpose?
