Allow multiple processes to run

[Shift838]

I am developing a program that runs an old emulator for some older type video game systems.

I want to be able to allow the process to be launched multiple times or maybe up to 10 instances of this to be running at one time in separate windows.

My current code is:

Dim MessProcess As New ProcessStartInfo
        MessProcess.WorkingDirectory = txtMessDir.Text
        MessProcess.FileName = "mess "
        If cmbROM.SelectedIndex = 5 Then
            MessProcess.Arguments = sp & GV.rom & GV.joy & GV.slot2 & GV.slot3 & GV.slot4 & GV.slot5 & GV.slot6 & GV.slot7 & GV.slot8 & hdi & fdi
        Else
            MessProcess.Arguments = sp & GV.rom & " -gromport " & GV.cartconfig & ci & GV.joy & GV.slot2 & GV.slot3 & GV.slot4 & GV.slot5 & GV.slot6 & GV.slot7 & GV.slot8 & hdi & fdi
        End If

        MessProcess.FileName = "mess.exe"
        Process.Start(MessProcess)

Unless there is some code in the processes you wish to run which makes them run as Singletons (one instance only) then subject to your machine's resources you should be able to run as many copies as you wish - again subject to the processes themselves not being coded to prevent this.
