Hi

Thanks for the response,
I did look into intents, but couldn't find a way to specify a file for the launched app to execute.

I'm trying to launch a c64 emulator to load a prg or D64 file.

Android applications are different than Windows applications.
There is no executable file.

Almost all applications support the default ACTION_MAIN. Whether other parameters are supported or not depends on the application.

Would the commodore 64 emulator be an .apk ?
Could he use putextra for the "load program"?

They brought the real c64 back to life recently
