Copy/Move/Whatever "pegasus.zip" into the same folder as your pegasus_cart ROMs are located. Edit your MAME emulator in LaunchBox and in the Associated Platforms section, for your Pegasus Platform set the Default Command-line Parameters to pegasus -rompath %romlocation%

Just tried fullscreen. Still worked here (sending "7"). Are you using v1.62.3? You may try a [temp] fresh install of SNES9x. Create a new folder next to the original install (/Emulators/SNES9xTEMP/). Open "snes9x-1.62.3-win32-x64.zip" (that's the one I downloaded) with 7-Zip and drag/drop the files into the new TEMP folder. Use 7-Zip so you don't have to mess with un-blocking any of the files. Start it once and close (in case it needs to create any files on 1st run). Don't change any settings at this point. In LB, edit the emulator and change the app path to "snes9x-x64.exe" that's in the new temp folder. I tried it with and without "-port1 mouse1" in the default command-line and both ways worked to send 7. I never tested actual playing with a mouse (because that would be weird ). But at game startup, the screen text would appear briefly.

Download and tested a game and the following worked for me. WinWaitActive ahk_exe snes9x-x64.exe send 7 This assumes your executable is "snes9x-x64.exe". Didn't need the key delay (which some emulators do. i.e. MAME) and the WInWaitACtive alleviates any guessing games for the Sleep timer. Be sure it's above any escape sequence. If that still doesn't work for you, then there's something else wonky going on. It'd also mean it's time to move to BigBox and a proper controller.

I've never used SNES9x. Does the Use Mouse not work? Regardless, if you find you still need to press 7 to switch controllers, you may try adding a SetKeyDelay. You'll also need to add a delay/pause/wait because the running script executes right away. You want to wait a little for the emulator to actually be running before "pressing 7". Sleep, 5000 SetKeyDelay, 125, 50 Send, 7 "5000" = 5 seconds. Adjust accordingly depending on how long it takes for the emulator to be fully loaded.

What's a good way to Identify in Bulk Games with no Box Art?
JoeViking245 replied to MiamiLamiW's topic in Features
2 options: On the left sidebar, select Games Missing Media. Then click Games missing Boxes. Select Tools, Audit and then select All games. To select a single platform, on the left side bar, select Platforms, click the platform you want to audit, then select Tools, Audit and click that platform. The image files are associated to the games Title or ROM name. You can't really change that. When you import images from the LaunchBox database (when initially importing games, using the bulk media updater or while editing an individual game), LaunchBox will save them using the games Title. -
Two years ago you had a non-merged set. The method I suggested won't work with a merged set without 'breaking' some (or a lot) of the games. Merged sets never made sense to me, so I've never messed with them.
-
Search the forums for "multi monitor" and also "thirdscreen". Both searches (including quotes) will give you at least 2 options.
-
Does the image return after exiting the game? If it's a Steam game, the image won't display at all during gameplay in either LB or BB. Otherwise, I may have missed applying the option keep images visible during gameplay to the BigBox side-of-things when the feature was added. I will have my team look into it. There are no plans to add support for more than 3 monitors.

Hot Wheels King of the Road : Gas Button
JoeViking245 replied to latin625's topic in Troubleshooting
Maybe it wants the Number Pad "down arrow" (as in you'd turn the NumLock off) instead of the Number Pad "2". Numpad2 will send "2" (as detected from the number pad). NumpadDown will send the "down arrow" (as detected from the number pad). Try this one. -

JoeViking245 replied to latin625's topic in Troubleshooting
Oh, the number pad. Change your 2's to "Numpad2" (without the quotes). You should be able to piggyback both of them into one script. -

Hot Wheels King of the Road : Gas Button
JoeViking245 replied to latin625's topic in Troubleshooting
"Press[ed]" I think. As in While the {space bar} is pressed. Your 2nd 2 last line (for player 2) should be send {2 up} Return I believe. I'm not at my main PC right now to test/confirm. -

JoeViking245 replied to latin625's topic in Troubleshooting
If it works without the setkeydelay, go ahead and leave that out. See if this does anything different for you. You may need to adjust the Sleep timer. Space:: while (getkeystate("space","p")) { send, {up down} sleep 100 } send {up up} Return Long press in AHK isn't a feature perse. But when using KeyWait in your hotkey script, you can make a key essentially have dual purpose. Example: Press and hold (aka long press) b to type out "BigBox". Otherwise press (and release) b to type "b". $b:: ;$ is required for "Send, b" { KeyWait, b, T1 ;T1 = 1 second if (ErrorLevel) { Send, BigBox Sleep, 500 ;Sleep needed so it doesn't auto repeat } Else { Send, b Return } } -
Have you verified that the CHD's are able to launch from LaunchBox without issue?

From the emulators website Help section: "Redream supports any GDI, BIN/CUE, CHD or CDI disc image. However, not all images are created equal and we strongly advise against using CDI images." Do the images you have in .chd format work?

JoeViking245 replied to latin625's topic in Troubleshooting
You may try to just Send it. Space::Send, {Up} And/or the game may be stubborn and want a more deliberate keypress. SetKeyDelay, 100, 50 Space::Send, {Up} -
In the emulator Details section (in LaunchBox) for your Demul emulator, do you have all the boxes UN-checked? i.e. 'Don't use Quotes...' is un-checked?

Problems Changing Lightgun to Mouse Controls
JoeViking245 replied to GBeavers's topic in Troubleshooting
Start MAME (double-click mame.exe) Double-click General Settings Double-click Save Settings Press Escape twice (to completely exit MAME) You'll now have a "mame.ini" file You could also, while you're in the General Settings, double-click Input Device Options and set the Light Gun Device Assignment to mouse. (select it and press the right arrow key) But don't forget to Save Settings afterwards. -
This doesn't really help with what you're after, but you can toggle seeing version under games Title in the main (middle) section. Click the 'hamburger' menu, Select View, Show/Hide, Versions. Or just press Ctrl+R.

Xbox Controllers Work in Mame but not in LaunchBox
JoeViking245 replied to Dwfrydendall's topic in Noobs
That's a pretty old version of MAME. But that's OK. In LaunchBox, edit your MAME emulator (Tools, Manage, Emulators). In the Default Command-Line Parameters, remove -keyboardprovider dinput. That particular parameter wasn't available back then. -
Full Screen should work without a script. Start citra-qt.exe On the toolbar, click View, and then check Fullscreen Exit Next time your launch a game (via LaunchBox and using citra.exe). it should start full screen. Also, for your exit script, you should use: $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} }
-
Using that Default Command-Line Parameter, I'm kinda surprised that any other game loads. Also, you should not have that , (comma) in there. First test things by removing just the comma, Actually, remove "-cart1" also. So your command line parameter will look like this: -keyboardprovider dinput gamecom Save and then try one of your Game.Com games. Now that we know that works, remove "gamecom" altogether. The easiest way to have this continue to work is if you have your Tiger Game.Com games in their own platform. Then in your MAME emulator, go into Associated Platforms and add your Tiger Game.Com platform (select it from the dropdown menu so you select and spell it correctly) and put "gamecom" as it's Default Command-Line Parameter. Check Default Emulator. If you don't have (or don't want) them in their own platform, you should be able to click the platform their integrated with (or just select All) and in the filter search, type "game.com". That should show all 20 of them. If you have them in their own Playlist, that will work just as well. After, you've confirmed you can somehow sort/find them, exit LaunchBox then download and install the Bulk Custom Command-Line Editor plugin. Restart LaunchBox, filter and select all the game.com games, start the plugin per the instructions and in the Parameter field, type in "gamecom" (without quotes) and click Finish. Play games.
