[Retroarch setup]

On 2/15/2018 at 9:46 AM, Lordmonkus said:

The default command line will always be:

-L "cores\core_name.dll"

and you can get the exact core name by looking in the \Retroarch\cores\ folderSo for example if I wanted to change the Super Nintendo core in Launchbox  to use the SNes9x core I would edit the line to:

-L "cores\snes9x_libretro.dll"

Make sure the L is capitalized and watch for spaces and quotes, little typos can totally mess it all up.

Thank you! This is what i needed (-L "cores\core_name.dll")

[Retroarch more Extra Command Line Parameters]

In the Launchbox version you are using you can Just add it after your core command be sure to put a space between it. So you would have  -L "cores\fbalpha_libretro.dll" -c "config\fbalpha_libretro.cfg"

FYI your existing command line is missing the " at the end of the command. You have just .dll should be .dll"

Thanks this helped!

[Yuzu with LaunchBox opening games]

On 9/10/2022 at 2:33 PM, Your Friendly A.I Overlord said:

My guess is, that in Tools > Manage > Emulators > Yuzu, you don't have the correct command-line parameters set up. In the "Default Command-Line Parameters" field add: -f -g

You do not need to check any of the checkboxes.

For exiting yuzu go to the "Running Script" tab and add:

$Esc::
{
WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}
}

But for future reference, if you have a problem with LaunchBox, it's better to post screenshots with how you have your emulators set up than to post a video that shows what you already described. 😉

very helpful thank you!

[AHK script for when 'exit game' hotkey doesn't work]

7 minutes ago, Your Friendly A.I Overlord said:

That's because when you press the "exit button", LaunchBox / BigBox sends an Escape.

That to difficult for me to do without having the game myself.

Can you answer this for me? Do you know the name of the games' executable?

I added the game via Launchbox Steam Importer

4 minutes ago, Your Friendly A.I Overlord said:

Ah, that's a start.

WinWait, information
Sleep 500
SendInput {Space}

 

This worked!!!! ❤️ Thank you!!!!

I have to say, seeing as I don't own this game and it seems a bit obscure, it is pretty difficult making a script without knowing anything about this game. How did you add it to LaunchBox? Via a Steam url or an executable? You say you tried to close the game with escape, but have you also tried to close it with Alt + F4?

Sometimes those dialog boxes also accept Space as confirmation.

Understood.

ESC and ALT+F4 triggers Confirmation Exit with window title "information".  In Big Box Mode I can trigger the same Confirmation Exit with a designated Button Press.

Space can confirm "OK" button.

What i'm really looking for is the ability for an AHK script to detect Confirmaiton Exit Window and press "OK".

Well, if you scoured the menu settings and config files for options to disable "Confirm on Exit", beside force closing your game, you could write a script to click O.K. for you.

That's where i'm stuck. I've tried ESC that triggers exit dialog and pressing enter to "OK" BUT... Enter is also the same key that triggers full screen. No way to redefine that function in the menu.

Game is "Infinos Gaiden"

I would advice against closing Steam games with an exit script. You don't know what a games does upon closing, like writing to it's config- or save files. Force closing PC games might corrupt those. Most Steam / PC games can be closed via it's menu, even with a controller.

There might be a setting anyway, somewhere in it's config / .ini files.

I’m not too worried about that issue with this game.

Steam games we typically exit properly.

Almost always you can disable this in the emulator itself. In the emulators' settings look for a checkbox or setting named something like "Confirm Exit".

Thanks for your response. In my case it’s actually a Steam game with an Exit Dialog.

I’ve setup BigBox Exit hotkey that works for all the other games. When executed on this game it triggers an exit dialog to confirm.

Did this work? Have a similar issue Game Exist combo exits game, BUT an EXIT dialog comes up.

You can change the default core used by editing the game, but you would need to do it one by one. Just right click a game and choose edit, then click the emulation tab. There is a checkbox here to "use a custom command line" check that then add the syntax to load a specific core in the box. So for example, 

-L "cores\core_name.dll"

Thanks for this!

-L "cores\core_name.dll"

Go to the folder where all you PS1 games are kept using Windows Explorer in the search bar type .cue select all the files and then drag them into LaunchBox. It is very effective.

This is the best advice for .cue thank you!
