When a game is selected in EmulationStation it executes `game-selected` scripts.

I have custom `game-selected.sh` scripts [here](https://github.com/jsm174/vpxds/blob/master/scripts/batocera/emulationstation/scripts/game-selected) that send messages to the `vpxds` app and changes the backglass and dmd images if they exist.

If you are using `directb2s` files, you can use the `b2s` command:

```bash
curl -S "http://127.0.0.1:8111/b2s?vpx=/userdata/roms/vpinball/<table>.vpx" > /dev/null 2>&1
```

This opens the `directb2s` file, fetches the backglass image, and saves it to the `CachePath` path specified in `vpxds.ini`.

If you want to use your own custom images, you can use the `update` command:
