    Sometimes scripts won't work for free. So you have to spend a little $. $ESCAPE:: process, Close, TeknoParrotUi.exe ExitApp
  2. JoeViking245
    Here's 2 different ones. The 1st requires a unique script for each game. The 2nd uses a script to act as your Steam "emulator" (it's not as bad as it sounds). Both 'workarounds' do work.

    Can you show what you've tried? Are you using a winwaitactive before your winwaitclose? Put in some "msgbox testing" before and after the waits to see when they trigger to determine what and where it's failing and hanging up.
  4. JoeViking245
    Correct.
  5. JoeViking245
    The metadata will only get overwritten if you manually update it. But when updating it, if choose the 2nd or 3rd option, you should be safe.

    See if this helps

    As a 'work-around', you could select your "Best Arcade Games" platform category, then using the Filter feature , Filter for... say... Max Players - 4. Then select all those filtered games, Right-Click and Add to Playlist? Create a new playlist and set the Parent (check the box for) your "Best Arcade Games" platform category. The downside with this is that it creates a fixed, non-auto-populated Playlist. So if you add more "Best Games", they won't automatically get added. But how often do you add "Best Games"? But if you do 'add', simply do the above process again except add them to your existing playlist. The nice thing is, it won't create duplicate entries when you select and add all. The upside(?) to having a 'fixed' playlist(s) is when loading, it's relatively faster. Though probably only noticeable with large playlists. If even then.

    It's a frontend (or a sort of Graphical User Interface) used to organize, view and play PC games and emulated console platforms About LaunchBox (launchbox-app.com) This LaunchBox plugin won't do you any good until you've actually imported systems and their games into LaunchBox. Each system you import is imported into a Platform. Think of it as the "Sony PlayStation platform" or the "Nintendo Wii platform". chdman is the only program that I'm aware of to convert .cue/.bin files to .chd. If you weren't able to get it to work for you from the command prompt or via a batch file, this plugin wouldn't have worked either. (other than using the wrong commands) The more common reason I've seen chdman not work is because you're using an old(er) version of it. You can get the current version from MAMEDev.org. It is bundled in with the latest MAME release. To test, put chdman.exe inside your Ape Escape (USA) folder. Open the Windows Command Prompt in this folder. At the prompt type chdman.exe createcd -i "Ape Escape (USA).cue" -o "Ape Escape (USA).chd" (change the .cue filename to whatever is your actual filename.cue and leave the quotes as shown) And yes, leave them unzipped. It's empty (left side of pict) because you're selecting a folder (not files). The giveaway is the "Select Folder" in the upper left corner.

    Mr. Turnr, you seem frustrated. Despite your vulgarity, I'll see if I can help clear some things up and help to get your files converted. The plugin doesn't have an option to select a folder where your .cue/.bin files are located so it can convert them. You select the Platform that has the games that point to .cue files. Reference step #3 in Using the plugin. The only folder selection in the plugin is to choose where to move the .cue/.bin files to after they are successfully converted. Reference step #5, 2nd option shown in Using the plugin. Are you trying to run this on an Android device? Not sure that's going to work. When you select your Sony PlayStation platform (Reference step #3 in Using the plugin), does it show the number of games you actually have installed?

    Check that you're not running either RetroArch or LaunchBox as admin. (Neither of them should be running as admin)

    The MAME Arcade Full Set Importer gets which ROMs to import directly from your mame.exe file. To see/import Nebula, you need to have the MAME executable v0.251. (verified) Same for Mega Man 3 (except mame.exe v0.250 [or newer]). (verified) Even if you try to fool LaunchBox by selecting 0.251 as your Full Set Version ..your executable's version is what determines the games are available to import. Edit: If there are just one or two [new] games you'd like to add, you can also drag and drop those ROMs onto LaunchBox and import them that way.
  13. JoeViking245
    You're welcome. Glad it's all working as intended. lol Those are only there because of testing for my Software List Importer plugin. I've only ever played any one of those just long enough to say "Yup. It works.".
  14. JoeViking245
    Yes. Looking at soft-lists for stand-alone MAME (as an example), edit your MAME emulator and add them accordingly in the Associated Platforms section. To make these work (as shown), you'll need to add your software lists folder to your mame.ini "rompath = " line. Or, in each of the Default Command-line Parameters for each Platform, add "-rompath %romlocation%" (without quotes). i.e. -rompath %romlocation% nes -cart -rompath %romlocation% snes -cart -rompath %romlocation% cpc6128 -floppydisk1 I've never done it this way (via the command-line for soft-lists), but I assume the parameters are OK in this order.
  15. JoeViking245
    Change the Default Command-Line Parameters (ref: "Screen 1") to: -keyboardprovider dinput -rompath %romlocation% ..and un-check the box for Extract ROM archives before running. In "Screen 2", un-check the box for Extract ROMs. Click OK to save these changes. Play games. Only if the games for those various emulators don't run.
  16. JoeViking245
    I think what you're seeing is actually the 'software parts selection menu'. You can turn it off in MAME under Miscellaneous Options (change "Skip software parts...." to On). Remember to select Save Configuration before exiting MAME's Configuration Options menu. Then for the Command Line Parameters in LB under Associated Platforms (of your MAME emulator) I have: pegasus %romfile% I just tested Invaders v1.2 and it started up.
  17. JoeViking245
    lol Glad you got it fixed. I hear it's a pretty good plugin, but tends to work best when you actually have multiple monitors.
  18. JoeViking245
    Looks like you might have some Multi Monitor plugin loading images that would normally go on a second monitor, but are displaying on your primary monitor. That's how I was able to replicate it, at least.
  19. JoeViking245
    Cruis'n USA also needs the Device file tms32031.zip. It should be in with your MAME full romset.
  20. JoeViking245
    Googling "LaunchBox import MAME" will bring up a YT video describing how to use the MAME Arcade Full Set Importer tool. The link will be something like this. If you don't already have your MAME emulator added to LaunchBox, when you get to the 'choose emulator' part, click add. From there (and for the entire process), it's just a matter of following the prompts.

    Try selecting a game or multiple games (click one game, then press and hold Ctrl and click on other games) and then right-click on one of the selected games to bring up LaunchBox's game menu. In the menu that appears, select "Bulk Command Line Editor" (at the bottom of the menu). Similar to Step 4, above. Let me know if it's still not working.

    v1.1.2 New Feature - Added option to set custom game image per platform.
  23. JoeViking245
    Yuzy. Yuzu. Yuku. Try the middle one.
  24. JoeViking245
    Coming soon to a plugin near you
  25. JoeViking245
    You can create an AutoHotkey script and then set it as an Additional App for the game. The script will look something like: Sleep, 10000 Send {Enter} ..where "10000" = 10 seconds. You can increase or decrease this amount of 'delay' time before it 'presses Enter', depending on how long it takes for the game to load. See here on how to add the script as an Additional App.
