      Hello, noobie here.

      Im trying to use runcommand to start snes game from python script on rapsbian. I am using popen for it with no luck. When i use popen for dosbox it opens new terminal window and starts the game given from argument. When i hry to start runcommand no error is given but nothing happens.

      Can anyone give advise or post working code example..

        Runcommand is meant to be run interactively - if you want to run it, make sure it has a controlling terminal attached. If you wish to just start the emulator & games, then why are you using Runcommand instead of starting the emulator directly ?
