GLAU: Launch Any Game EXE with Custom Commands (No Launcher Needed)

Hey everyone,

I built a tiny Python utility called GLAU (Game Launch Argument Utility) for those old-school games that come on DVD or don’t have a proper launcher. Instead of messing with shortcuts or Steam props, you just point GLAU at the game exe, type in any command-line arguments you want, and it fires up in a hidden CMD window. No extra pop-ups, no fuss.

Features

Launch any .exe with custom arguments

Runs in an invisible terminal window

No installation required, just run the script

Perfect for skipping intro videos, forcing 64-bit mode, setting memory pool size, loading mods, and more

How to try it

1. Clone or download:

git clone https://github.com/crabtech1/glau.git cd glau YouTube showcase:https://youtu.be/UzbZVUCBymI?si=5f_E5nPJIKoPqN5F
