Auto Play N' Quit - AHK Script by IzzIsHOr 0.2

Very cool, this needs to be implimented into Big Box as standard in my opinion.

@izzishor  WooW Amazing script 🤗
To Full happiness it would be if could control the script by voice + random draw and by game name, genre, that would be a brain on the wall hehe maybe someday

Ps.
2 Qestion:
1. I understand that it only works with playlists, it doesn't work with platforms, etc ?
2. How to Assign, add other emu if I create a mix playlist ps1,2,xbox,arcade etc ?

Thanks for reaching out, and for the kind words 🥹

I forgot I posted it here, I made it a bit more complex now, works with all platforms/playlists, just have to be VERTICAL SCROLLING, or you must tweak the AHK to send right arrows instead of down arrows.

Try it out, tell me what you think, to make it close other emulators, just edit the ProcessList.txt and add whatever you want it to close in there.

Updated the description and updated the files as well.

Great. I'll check it out tomorrow because it's time to sleep slowly 1 am

Unfortunately or fortunately I have a long mix list
horizontal
vertical
so there will be some changes

Ps:
I have to delve into AI, if such miracles can be done then maybe I +AI will be able to create something

Tried the updated version, seems to work great and i can now get it to close some emulators (newer mame versions) that would nt shut before. 

 One thing id like it to do is once i've quit the script (by pressing start), id like it to restart after a period of inactivity, ie no key presses or joypad movements. So if i start to play a game and then finish and walk away the attract mode will kick in again, after say a few minutes .  Currently i have to manually start the script again.

is this possible?

Oh, that's a really good idea💪
I'm just about to start testing it 😋

Something always doesn't pop up for me while loading
Final error on various emu retro arch mame etc

Specifically: No application is associated with the specified file for this operation, second error

It must be ran with AHK 1.0 I believe, that's why the error is, I keep the scrips hidden in C:\ so there are no folders to path, maybe that's the error you're facing, try keeping it in the root of a HDD, hidden or not it doesn't matter, see if the error is still there, and the #NO ENV is due to AHK 2.0 i think, if you're using AKH 1.0 and have that error, you can delete the #noENV line from it.

Yes, it is, I have a shortcut made inside a game I don't play, that starts with A, that launches it when I launch that game, just add it in Additional APPS under LaunchBox.

Or make another AHK script with chatGPT that runs the autorun script when you press a combo of buttons.

So happy it works for you, I did this for myself in spare time, and glad it helps some peeps ❤️

 I've literally just done that with chat gbt!  Used a button combo to start the actract mode.  Any controller presses exit the attract script. 

 I've tried to get it to automatically restart after a period of inactivity but as yet couldn't get it to work correctly.
