# Executable launch modes # Executable launch modes
Cxbx-Reloaded is a single executable which operates in two different modes: Cxbx-Reloaded is a single executable which operates in two different modes:
1. If launched normally (without any command-line arguments), it will show a user-interface. 1. If launched normally (without any command-line arguments), it will show a user-interface then wait for user inputs.
* However, if drag and drop an xbe file on top of executable. It will automatic run xbe file.
2. To emulate Xbox software, Cxbx-Reloaded relaunches itself (with the path to the Xbox executable to run on the command-line). 2. To emulate Xbox software, Cxbx-Reloaded relaunches itself (with the path to the Xbox executable to run on the command-line).
The emulated Xbox screen is then put over the user-interface. The emulated Xbox screen is then put over the user-interface.
At the end of emulation, the second instance terminates and the user-interface reappears. At the end of emulation, the second instance terminates and the user-interface reappears.
* If want to start standalone emulation. Then the following argument should be input `> cxbx.exe /load "path to xbe"` via command prompt.
If another process launches Cxbx-Reloaded (for instance, a user starts a shortcut via Windows Explorer) with a command-line argument, there's no parent process, so when emulation ends in this scenario, the Cxbx-Reloaded process terminates entirely.
