Mine is setup without anything in the Running Script section nor the Exit Script section. Then in Yuzu (v1510 2023-07-28), I set the Exit Yuzu hotkey to something OTHER than Esc. Mine happens to be Ctrl+W (only so as to have a 'something' in there). Exiting from the Pause Menu works without issue. Side note: If you're using the Pause Menu to actually Pause during gameplay (rather than just to exit it), in Yuzu you may want to check the box to Pause emulation...

What is up with Retroarch Default Command-Line Parameters field?
JoeViking245 replied to skizzosjt's topic in Noobs
In that case (with the core having been left blank), LaunchBox is [most likely] still passing -L "". (the core_name.dll would have gone between the quotes) So ends up being: "D:\Emulators\Retroarch\retroarch.exe" -L "" "D:\ROMs\Atari 2600\Adventure.zip" Again, just for an emulator using retroarch.exe. So it does try to launch it. It just happens to return an error (fail). -
This beta release has had minimal testing, but what was tested, tested favorably. Beta Version 1.1.5-beta-4 MultiMonitor2022 (v1.1.5 beta-4) .7z New Option: Can set a Custom Folder to use for game images This will search for images in /your_custom_folder/game_platform/game.png (or whatever image file extension) Game images can be named the same as games Title (see below) or ROM filename. To Setup: Start MultiMonitor Setup Below the Default Game Images, click Set Custom Folder. Browse to and select your custom folder (containing the Platform subfolders) Click OK to save in either the Default Game Images, or in the datagrid containing your platforms select the image type *Custom Folder Don't forget to Save when you're done! Using the games Title: If the Title has 'invalid file name characters', those characters will need to be replaced with _ (underscore). The exact same way LaunchBox does with its image files. Example: Title = Disney-Pixar's Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! image = Disney-Pixar_s Toy Story 2_ Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!.png Invalid characters are: < (less than) > (greater than) : (colon) " (double quote) / (forward slash) \ (backslash) | (vertical bar or pipe) ? (question mark) * (asterisk) ' (single quote) Not technically invalid (post-DOS), but consistent with LaunchBox character replacement

Filter any games that don't have a rom allocated
JoeViking245 replied to azorean's topic in Troubleshooting
There isn't a built-in way to 'filter' them for viewing. But you can do a scan for games whose associated ROM file doesn't exist [then optionally remove them from LaunchBox]. Tools - Scan - For Removed... It'll list the games and give you the remove option. But it'll only show you the 1st 25 games. It's not recommended to do this for Arcade (MAME ROMs) as it may break other games in the Platform. (If you have a non-merged set, you may be safe to do so.) -
Try to use citra-qt.exe as the executable (vs citra.exe).

What is up with Retroarch Default Command-Line Parameters field?
JoeViking245 replied to skizzosjt's topic in Noobs
As you know, with all emulators, the Default Command-line Parameters get completely overridden when there are any Custom Command-line Parameters present in the Associated Platforms section, for that platform. In case of RetroArch, in the Associated Platforms section LaunchBox adds the [would-be required] field Core. Which in turn, automatically adds to the command-line parameter -L "core_name_from_the_core_field.dll". Most likely (guessing here), since the Association Platforms section is adding [something] the command line, the Default Command-Lines Parameters are ignored (overridden). Which will be the case with any platform using RetroArch. So you are correct. Though the developers had the foresight to add the Core field and auto-populate them with the most likely core (along with adding -f to the Extra Command-line Parameters) for our convenience, they neglected to disable the Default Command-line Parameters field in the Details section. But who would have discovered this other than a 'power user'? Sounds like a reasonable BitBucket item. Though not a bug, not sure it's actually a feature request either. But a 'something' none-the-less. -
Has anyone made a region flags set for launchbox
JoeViking245 replied to djweevil666's topic in Monkeys
A quick search found some icons and some as clear logos. -
Interesting. I assumed those images appeared on bezels. I'm curious as to how many games actually have a separate sticker that's not incorporated onto bezels? Or is this more of a MK thing. As for adding an option for a custom folder into the plugin, anything's possible. What "would be nice" is if you put in a feature request on BitBucket to add another folder so as to distinguish between Controls Information Labels, and Controls Information Panel Layouts (or however it should best be named). Then I could just grab it from the API. I'll add the 'custom image - use custom folder for images' idea to the request list.

Gotch'ya. In fact, I believe your pause menu was part of my inspiration for my original 'proof-of-concept' plugin. I think that (folder locations) was something I looked and figured the "Arcade - Control Panel" folder was for the real arcade control panels. Not sure if these 2 folders had 'always' been available or [one or the other] was added later on.

I'm not familiar with the custom pause menu nor the subfolder "Game Controls". I added the custom *Game Controls image option ("custom", as it is not directly accessible through the LaunchBox API) and used what seemed to be appropriate folder Arcade - Controls Information (which is accessible through the API) to allow showing a user's control panel layout (either generic images downloaded from EmuMovies or custom images). This came about from my proof-of-concept plugin Display game specific controls image on a separate monitor during gameplay. Though this folder is generically geared towards "Arcade", it is available for all platforms. Not sure why the custom pause menu is using a 'new' folder rather than one that's already available for the intended image type. To use those images with this plugin, you can copy them into their respective platform's Arcade - Controls Information subfolder. The plugin will find the game images using the methods built into LB/BB which looks for game_title.png and/or game_ROM.png. So either file naming convention will work. The innate methods may also have some sort of fuzzy-matching (for game_title), but don't hold me to it. Regardless, if LaunchBox shows the associated game image, the plugin will too.

First off, love the lights behind the monitors. No. It's not planned. But you might try @superrob3000's ThridScreen plugin. I know it can handle up to a gajillion monitors and has video support. Not sure if it supports [animated] gifs as they're not typically used in LaunchBox. But I do know that it's possible.

LaunchBox won't do it for you, but here're a couple options like RocketLauncher and Reshade that can add the bezels to emulators. There's an easy to do it as well using the plugin below. But do read through all the instructions and especially the part about SuperModel under Emulator Settings (if you decide to go this route).

No. As long as the path to the ROM is the/path/to/the/ROM.ext (either relative or absolute). But that 2nd prompt should still show. Even if it then shows a 3rd one saying 'file cannot be found'. I did find that you can't remove a game from LB via a Playlist View (w/auto populated playlists). Let alone, remove the ROM. But that's not related to your situation.
-
With the "Allow Deleting ROMs..." box checked, you should, after clicking Yes in the 1st prompt ("Are you sure you wish to permanently delete..."), get the 2nd prompt to delete the ROM: Just verified it is working (13.11). (Here, at least.) I doubt that part of the code has been changed with recent updates. But can't say for certain. Not to be repetitive but do make sure the box is checked and try again. If it's still not appearing, at the top of this page click Help & Support then Report a Bug. Assuming everything else in LaunchBox is working as it should, I'm not sure reinstalling LaunchBox [over your existing install] will resolve it. But is always a possibility. Especially if the issue started with a recent LB update on your system.
-
What platform are you attempting to do this on and what are the ROM file types? (.zip, .cue, .chd....) Are you getting the prompt after 'Delete game from LaunchBox...' asking (something like) 'Do you wish to delete the ROM file also?'? It should also state the warning that 'this is permanent and cannot be undone'.

Nice! I'd be inclined to do it all with the TransValue adjustment and remove the Sleep timer altogether. (one less thing in the mix) To reduce the code a little more and still get the same result TransValue := 255 ;Fade Out While (TransValue >= 0) { WinSet, Transparent, %TransValue%, ahk_exe notepad.exe TransValue := TransValue - .25 } ;Fade In While (TransValue <= 255) { WinSet, Transparent, %TransValue%, ahk_exe notepad.exe TransValue := TransValue + .75 }
-
Maybe setup a timer (or a For loop with a sleep timer?) and then WinSet the Transparent Level of your black screen. Adjusting from 255 to 0 (fade in) or 0 to 255 (fade out) If you have or can get the GUID of your black screen window... DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",GUI_ID,"Int",1700,"UInt","0xa0000") ; Fade in DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",GUI_ID,"Int",1700,"UInt","0x90000") ; Fade out 1700 is the fade duration (larger number longer). GUI_ID is, well... you guessed it. The GUID of the window you want to fade. Edit: per Microsoft docs, "AnimateWindow function (winuser.h)" Re: the "fade duration" (as I called it) is: So looks to be a value of 0 to 200.

no puedo iniciar, me aparece error

The error indicates something is up with your license file. Email support@unbrokensoftware.com and they can sort it out for you. -
It looks to me like EpicFail's method (which I did not use) has you create an Emulator in LaunchBox and then associate that emulator to your ScummVM platform. So now (after you had done all the other steps to set up per the EpicFail method), if you edit a game and go to the Launching - Emulation section, the checkbox for Use an emulator to play this game is checked. Which is not using the "built-in ScummVM feature". (Red box, image above) To edit the game, select it and then press Ctrl+E. Since you have the games already in LaunchBox and assuming the EpicFail method didn't alter or delete any of the innate LaunchBox ScummVM files (only added new files), to [directly] use the built-in ScummVM feature you should be able to: Edit the game In the Launching - Emulation section, un-check the box Use an emulator to play this game Now, in the Launching - ScummVM section, check the box Use ScummVM to play this game Click Browse and navigate to the folder [that contains the game files] and select it Under What game is it?, click the dropdown arrow (upside down triangle) and select the game from the list. Click OK to save. That's how I set mine up. One thing (among others) EpicFail does is, with using his emulator method he's made it so the games are truly portable (copies the ini file from AppData and uses command line parameters to start the game(s)). Which unfortunately you can't do [easily] with the built-in feature. Back to your original post... (now that I know little more of how yours is setup)... Not knowing how the EpicFail plugin was built, you might be able to hide the batrunner window. Edit the emulator you created and check the box Attempt to hide console window. If that doesn't work, edit the emulator and in the Startup Screen section, check the box Hide all Windows that are not in Exclusive Fullscreen Mode. Again, not having followed the EpicFail project, a quick search says something about an option was added to eliminate the need for batrunner altogether.

Interesting. Because even with a fresh LaunchBox install, I still don't have batrunner.exe in my /ThirdParty/ScummVM/ folder. I even searched all of ../LaunchBox/. for the file and couldn't find it. So not really sure why/how yours is set up that way and has [or even uses] that file. Weird. What version of LaunchBox are you using? Maybe older versions used a different ScummVM setup.?. To set it up, all I did was edit he game(s) and in the Launching - ScummVM section (image above), check the one box, Browse to the folder and then selected the corresponding game. Here's what's in my /ThirdParty/ScummVM/ folder: There's also ../AppData/Roaming/ScummVM/ which looks like:
