Here's a simple script if you wish to launch a game and edit some code before it launches

Code:

function debugger_onBreakpoint()
print("target launched and paused at entry point")

print("doing stuff")

pause()

createTimer(1000,function()
debugger_onBreakpoint=nil
print("detaching debugger")
openProcess(getOpenedProcessID())
unpause()
end)

return nil
end
--don't freak out, you can change it afterwards (in 7.5)
s=getSettings()
s['Use Windows Debugger']='1'
s['Use VEH Debugger']='0'
s['Use Kernel Debugger']='0'
s['Use DBVM Debugger']='0'

reloadSettingsFromRegistry()

createProcess([[<path to game exe>]],'',true,true)

You can also use this with launchers.
Just add a Debugger field to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\<exename> and make it point to your CE exe
tip: printf(readStringLocal(executeCodeLocalEx('GetCommandLineA',0),512) ) to see extra parameters needed that the launcher provided
