Streamdeck scripts for Retroarch hotkey functions View File Me and Eric Ramirez put these AHK scripts together for our Stream decks. We have available: Load State, Save State, Next Shader, Previous Shader. Menu, Exit, Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind, Cheats They are hot key functions utilizing 5 as the hot key. You can make the hot key anything you want but you'll have to edit each script. Same thing with the key to activate the function. For example 5 and the space bar will fast forward your game. Go to Retroarch-Settings-Input to check those assigned keys to the listed functions. Just create a profile (I called mine Retroarch). Point it to your Retroarch.exe file. To assign functions, go down to System and drag the Open Icon to one of the windows. Choose a script and give it a name. That's all there is to it.

I think there is a bigger want for video marquees than you think. Two obstacles that come to mind are availability and people not knowing how to make them. There is a how to on YT but the audio isn't great and its had to make out what the guy is saying

I can't believe I'm just seeing this. I can download them from youtube. Thanks! Here's the teknoparrot marquee as requested: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ptNC3FENJWM_Ls2mB6Zlt8XzuKMu99eG/view?usp=sharing

those X and Y analog Inc and Dec are not used by the trackball. they are for trackball games where you would be using a joystick in place of a trackball. Its best to leave those blank since you are using one. If you were using a joystick it wouyld be whatever keys you have assigned joytstick one to such as left, down, up, right.

I'm pretty sure the latest version of the plug in only works with 13.19 or higher. Try an older version

It was the add to gamesDB plugin. I thought that was a "factory" plugin. I dont remember ever installing it.

I have the 6.0 installed and get the same errors

here's a decent Youtube tutorial on using a streamdeck in an arcade cabinet. Skip past the first few minutes. The rest is good and informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rm0B1M-6Ys&list=PLvNsWRCC6ica5n4spukPjoFfyWnzcUUL6&index=147

ughh its not writing to the ini after I made the switch.

ok so it appears to be writing to the correct ini file. However I have a new issue. When I booted up this morning, the program lauched and identified \\.\DISPLAY2 as the primary display. But when it wrote to the ini file which was previously DISPLAY14, it put DISPLAY2 and left the 4 on from DISPLAY14 thus giving me DISPLAY24. Should I go back to this : $content = $content -replace '(DISPLAY\d{1,2})',"$primarydisplay"

These are the pop ups. Is this what you are referring to? https://imgur.com/gallery/CGv6f5X Think I figured it out. I assumed the proper mame.ini file was in the ini folder. There's another mame.ini in the mame folder. That's the one. I'll edit the script and see if it changes the righ mame.ini

So your program didn’t update the lightgun ini. . But I downloaded arcade64 to make some changes using the gui. I can assign the screen, display14 and it will show in the ini file, but it’s still going to the marquee if I launch it through Launchbox. If I launch the game just through arcade64, it goes to the main display. must be something with his scripts.

ok it didnt change in the lightgun drive

then what am I looking for when I uncomment it. I did it for both areas as you instructed and a popup window appeared for every line of the .ini file, twice so I assumed it was for read and write. I had to select ok for each line to cycle through it all
