It's not that it's not finding the files inside the zip. It's not 'seeing' the zip, itself. Edit your MAME emulator in LaunchBox and in the Default Command-Line Parameters, add -rompath %romlocation%. Also make sure both "Remove Quotes" and "Remove file extension" boxes are checked. To test it from Window Command Prompt: G:\LaunchBox> Emulators\MAME240\mame.exe -rompath Games\Arcade asteroid or from any location "G:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME240\mame.exe" -rompath "G:\LaunchBox\Games\Arcade" asteroid

Yes.

You're welcome. As for Display Fusion being easier to use, you already had MonitorSwitcher working. Just needed the command lines. Anyway, I like the footprint of MonitorSwitcher compared to DF (KB's vs. 200+ MB's), and it doesn't require any installation. Also the $ cost to save profiles for later use is a bit cheaper. But that's just me. Glad you got something working for you.

Instead of creating/adding/using the hotkeys and using AutoActions, just use the command(s) available in MonitorProfileSwitcher to load the profiles. If it works to change the profile while the game is loading (vs. it HAS to be switched PRIOR to loading the game), add to the Running Script for that emulator: (For cxbx emulator) Run, "MonitorSwitcher.exe" -load:Profile-1.xml, F:\Misc\Monitor Switcher Process,Wait,cxbx.exe while winExist("ahk_exe cxbx.exe") sleep 700 Run, "MonitorSwitcher.exe" -load:Profile-2.xml, F:\Misc\Monitor Switcher Change Profile-1.xml and Profile-2.xml to your saved profile_names.xml you want to load when the emulator launches (1st line) and after it exits (last line). Respectively. Change F:\Misc\Monitor Switcher (2 places) to the full path where your MonitorSwitcher.exe is located. For your Xenia emulator, do the same thing(s), and also change cxbx.exe to xenia.exe (2 places). If they have to be switched before loading the game (emulator), then you'll [instead] need to add Additional Apps for each game and have them checked to Run Before Main App and Run After Main App using only [modified] line 1 above and the last line. Respectively. LaunchBox can't 'fix' finnicky emulators. But it can accommodate most all of their shortcomings.

If you have an EmuMovies account Select the Platform you want to add manuals to Click on one of the games in that platform then press Ctrl+A to select all games Click Tools, Download, Update Metadata and Media for Selected Games... Follow through the prompts until you get to Would you like to download media from EmuMovies? In that view, scroll down and check the option Manual Kepp going through the prompts until you get to Ready to Download Click Finish Note, not all platforms will have manuals available.

When you replaced the icon, I presume it was in ..\LaunchBox\Images\Platform Icons\Platforms\Super Nintendo Entertainment System.png It needs to be a .png file (vs .ico). If you didn't have LaunchBox closed while replacing it, you may be able to select the Platform (on the left pane) and press F5 to refresh the image. Worse case, close and restart LaunchBox and it should appear.

Change the last line to RunWait, "D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME 0.243\mame.exe" -skip_gameinfo -waitvsync -keyboardprovider dinput -rompath %romlocation% %ROM%, D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME 0.243

What does your existing MAME emulator (in LB) Default Command-Line Parameters look like?

No. 😊 Try changing these 2 lines to: romlocation = %1% ROM = %2%

(another "try this") For the fullscreen thing, create a new file ("BSfullscreen" or whatever). In it, put: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WScript.Sleep 10000 WshShell.SendKeys "{F11}" Save the file with a .vbs extension. ("BSfullscreen.vbs") Create an(other) additional app to Run Before. Have the Application Path point to this file. If that works, you can thank @AliMujahid20 (you. lol). If it doesn't, you can blame me.

If, after the game loaded, can you manually press F11 and it goes fullscreen? BlueStacks may not be able to accept key presses from an AHK script. But you might try: SetKeyDelay, 125, 50 Sleep, 10000 Send, {F11} ..and then add your escape sequence.

This won't work when running as an Additional App because you can't send parameters to them. (EMU = %1% ROM = %2%) To have the parameters sent to the script, you'd need to have it as-the-emulator.** In your script "EMU" is always going to be "MAME" since you're only using this for MAME. Correct? If so, replace that variable. i.e. (replace the 1st line with the 2nd line) This assumes your asset folder is called "MAME". ;ROM_STK_PROF := "D:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\UltraStick\" . EMU . "\" . ROM . ".ugc /showfeedback" ROM_STK_PROF := "D:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\UltraStick\MAME\" . ROM . ".ugc /showfeedback" **To set the script up as the emulator, you'd need to add a new emulator in LaunchBox that points to this script. Give it a name Point the App Path to ..\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe In quotes, set the parameters to point to your .ahk script add a [space] and then %romlocation% Check 2 boxes Then at the bottom of your script, you'd have it launch MAME with the ROM file. Something (but not necessarily exactly) like this. (added some beeps when it loads a specific config) romlocation = %2% ROM = %3% ;Process UltraStick Profiles ROM_STK_PROF := "D:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\UltraStick\MAME\" . ROM . ".ugc /showfeedback" EMU_STK_PROF := "D:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\UltraStick\MAME\MAME.ugc /showfeedback" DEF_STK_PROF := "D:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\UltraStick\default.ugc /showfeedback" ULTRAMAP := "D:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\UltraMap.exe" ;Load the joystick profile if FileExist(ROM_STK_PROF) { SoundBeep, 750, 500 RunWait %ULTRAMAP% %ROM_STK_PROF% } else if FileExist(EMU_STK_PROF) { SoundBeep, 750, 200 SoundBeep, 1350, 200 RunWait %ULTRAMAP% %EMU_STK_PROF% } else { SoundBeep, 750, 200 SoundBeep, 1350, 200 SoundBeep, 750, 200 RunWait %ULTRAMAP% %DEF_STK_PROF% } RunWait, "D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME\mame.exe" -keyboardprovider dinput -rompath %romlocation% %ROM% Not tested, but looks really good 'on paper'. Depending on how your MAME is setup and where it's located, you may need to change something on the last line.

What didn't work? You need to give more details. Or at least one detail. Help me to help you. After 10 seconds does it go fullscreen? Then what?

Stand-alone Dolphin. Definitely not RetroArch. The post you quoted pretty much says exactly where Dolphin.ini located. ..\Dolphin\User\Config\Dolphin.ini

Try this: RunWait, D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Vampire Survivors\VampireSurvivors.exe ExitApp z::Enter

@Merovingio To create Playlists in LB, you pretty much need the games to already be in an existing Platform. A cheesy, not-100%, but pretty close work around could be done like this: Install RetroAchievement Badges plugin Run the Updater as described in the How to install the plugin: instructions This will create, in the plugins' folder "AllGames.xml" Download/save this AutoHotkey script Parse AllGames.xml to folders-files.ahk Open it with any text editor and edit lines 1 and 2 ONLY. Change Line 1 to the full path to your copy of "AllGames.xml" Change Line 2 to the full path to a temp folder you want to save the console-folders/files.txt Run the script from Windows (this is not a plugin) This will parse the AllGames.xml file Inside the folder you set on Line #2 It will create folders named after each Console In each of those folders, it will create .txt files named after the games Title It'll create about 40 [Console] folders and about 6000 .txt files total Takes less that 10 seconds to complete In LaunchBox, import these .txt files ("games") into (Option 1) your existing Platforms. (Yes, one platform at a time) (Option 1a) Leave "import duplicates" un-checked and don't import any media (yet). Then any game in that platform that doesn't show an image (box-front of whatever you have set as default) should be ones you don't have. (Option 1b) [this will meet the request of the OP] Check "import duplicates". (Option 2) new Platforms. (Again, one platform at a time) [With Option 1] Create a new Playlist Check Auto-Populate this Playlist Set Field to Application/ROM Path Set Comparison to Contains Set Value to ".txt" (without the quotes) [EDIT] Set (on the next line...) Field to Platform Set Comparison to Is Equal To Set Value to "the_exact_name_of_your_Platform" (without the quotes) Click OK to save If you selected Option 1a above, you should now have a Playlist of missing achievement games for that Platform If you selected Option 1b above, you should now have a Playlist of all achievement games for that Platform The caveat is that you will have oddball situations. You might already have "The Addams Family" and it may still import "Addams Family, The". And other similar oddities. Also (with Option1) you'll have a bunch of extra shtuff in your main Platform. Plan "B" is to go back to plan "A"...

So, you use LaunchBox, to launch CoinOps, to launch games? Seems redundant. Anyway, to 'press' Ctrl+Alt+F4 instead of just Alt+F4 via AutoHotkey, you can use Send, ^!{F4}

The error indicates something is up with your license file. Email support@unbrokensoftware.com and they can sort it out for you.

If you're not using Escape to exit the game, the 'original' script is still running. If you are, then you may need to give the esc routine a little money. $esc::exitapp If that doesn't work, remove that line altogether. Now create another additional app to Run After that exits the above Run Before addnl. app. If you named your Run Before script "ConfineMouseMovement.ahk", set this script to Run After. DetectHiddenWindows, On SetTitleMatchMode, 2 WinClose ConfineMouseMovement You don't want to have to add #SingleInstance Force. You really do want to close it when not needed.

Absolutely!

Seems like there has to be a better [built-in] way to do this through the emulator settings. I don't use M2, so I don't know. (full screen? Probably not windowed-full screen [if even an option]). Anyway, this script assumes you're running the game on your primary monitor and makes use of Windows' built-in ClipCursor function. Set limitW and limitH to the number of pixels you want the border to be. "limitW" is your left/right border and "limitH" is your top/bottom border. i.e. setting limitW to 20 puts a 20-pixel border on the left side AND on the right side (not 10 on each side). Don't touch any other part of the script. Pressing Escape will exit the script. This gets the actual Width and Height of the monitor, then subtracts twice the limit from each, respectively. Width - left & right border. Height - top & bottom border. Then using the ClipCursor function, confines the cursor movement to the coordinates supplied to it. Coordinates for a monitor start in the upper left corner. With limitW and limitH both set to 20, the starting point from the upper left corner is 20 over and 20 down. Then [for your monitor] from there it'll "draw the box confines", 3800 to the right, and 2120 down. limitW := 20 limitH := 20 W = %A_ScreenWidth% H = %A_ScreenHeight% Lw := W - (limitW*2) Lh := H - (limitH*2) ; Courtesy of: ; https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=180864&sid=79466bc66cbd4f6a4c02689d4fda46e7#p180864 ClipCursor(limitW,limitH,Lw,Lh) ClipCursor(x,y:=0,w:=0,h:=0){ static free := dllcall("User32.dll\ClipCursor", "ptr", 0) ; Frees the mouse on script start up. static oe := {base:{__delete:func("clipcursor").bind("unclip")}} ; For freeing the mouse on script exit. if (x = "unclip") return dllcall("User32.dll\ClipCursor", "ptr", 0) varsetcapacity(rect,16) numput(x,rect,0,"int") numput(y,rect,4,"int") numput(x+w,rect,8,"int") numput(y+h,rect,12,"int") dllcall("User32.dll\ClipCursor", "ptr", &rect) } esc::exitapp To create/add this as an additional app, follow this:

Think of it as /LaunchBox/BigBox.exe is a 'launcher' for /LaunchBox/Core/BigBox.exe. or /LaunchBox/BigBox.exe is a 'shortcut' to /LaunchBox/Core/BigBox.exe. So what's happening is you batch file is: it starts /LaunchBox/Bigbox.exe this in turn starts /LaunchBox/Core/BigBox.exe then exits itself /wait (/w) is now done because the program you told it to wait for is no longer running. QRes now executes ** Note: /Core/BigBox.exe is still running aka: it starts BigBox, then immediately launches your QRes command. ** I don't know anything about QRes, so I didn't pay any attention to that part of your script. Chances are, it may not have worked anyway if you did point to the Core folder. You may need to "start" it also. start /w "" "C:\Users\Me\LaunchBox\Core\BigBox.exe" start "" "C:\QRes.exe" /x:1280 /y:960

If you're determined to use MAME release 0.133, remove that from the command-line parameters. The only reason a newer version of MAME is giving the appearance of being blurry is because of differing video settings and filters you have set [compared to your 0.133 release]. If you have games that were once playable and are no longer playable with an updated mame.exe, the most common reason is that you didn't update your ROM set to match the new version of MAME. If your MAME emulator is release 0.252 and your ROM set is 0.133, you'll have a lot of issues when attempting to play. 14 years (aka 119 releases) of ROM and emulator updates is pretty substantial.
