I definitely appreciate you offering some advice. I did setup retroarch with each alternate core. In the beginning of this project it helped simplify the control inputs for me. Launchbox is now duplicating the launched emulator on all emulators. I've attached emulators.xml for review but I am not seeing clear duplicate issue. The only controller software I have is for RPCS3 which is installed in the RPCS3 directory. x360ce is the one. It would seem to be that it's something on your box. Do you use something like JoyToKey or some other input remapper. - I do not, I have the RecRoomMasters emulator edition arcade that has the USB keyboard style controller. No software used for it. Are you launching launchbox directly or are you starting it through another launcher like Steam? Steam does have it's own input remapping functionality that can cause phantom repeated inputs with controllers, not sure if it would affect the mouse. - I am launching LB.exe directly via desktop shortcut or taskbar shortcut. Emulators.xml

Here are the AHK scripts - for plugins where is the best place I can screenshot?

Hello! My apologies if this was searchable elsewhere, I could not locate the solution. *************** all emulators launch a duplicate instance ********************* On 9/25/21 having time to use the machine more finding that any emulator is launching a duplicate instance Upon booting my computer, when I use Launchbox then attempt to play a PS2 game - it creates two instances of the PCSX2 emulator. If I close them out and return to Launchbox, it only launches one instance from therein. At first I thought it could be a sticky key. I have launched with two separate wireless keyboards and a USB arcade/keyboard controller (the Xtension version sold from RecRoomMasters) as well as two separate mice using double clicking. I am confident the sticky key or double press is not the case. I have had this glitch for 6 months. Work is busy! This error has occurred since I believe 11.12 through 11.17. I do not recall when the error began so I am not linking causation to the launchbox build. I had removed PCSX2 from the emulator listing then reinstalled it. No change in behavior. I had a much older build (version 1.0 I believe, whatever was listed stabled) when the error began. I tried to resolve the double launch in getting a current version and now use PCSX2 ver 1.7.0-dev. Gameplay is phenomenal but the double instance remains. If I run Big Box instead of Launchbox I do not get a second instance. If I run Launchbox after running Big Box, it will not generate the second instance of the emulator. If I left the computer running and didn't restart or shutdown I wouldn't have the error. That said I am in Virginia Beach and the thunderstorms and approaching hurricanes have me unplug the power frequently. Here's the "why" behind my hope to correct it. I have this in an arcade cabinet in which my 6 YO daughter and I bond and are playing the Disney Enchanted Princess game on PS2. She loves being able to go through the art of the games in launchbox then start the game. Big Box preview videos (that I love) have content I don't want her seeing as she is 6 so Launchbox is my primary way to get her to control the arcade for now. I have attached some photos of my emulator path, computer info, and Windows version. Am open to any help possible! LOVE this software and the community! Th administrators who help us out so frequently are a blessing. I am grateful! Scott

It absolutely was - thank you! It is working like clockwork now

Thank you for the immediate support and the manual patch option. Having this kind of support for ANYTHING is rare and it really keeps me motivated with my arcade project. Thank you again!!

Was it the Mircosoft Defener telling you to turn on the Device Control? That happened to me and I am stuck in the same condition

Thank you SO MUCH! I appreciate both the super fast answer that worked right away, but also the education on the tabs. I am learning a lot through this process. THANK YOU!

Hello! I am facing the same situation in which I have the script pasted into the Exit AHK Setup (picture attached). M2 returns to the windowed mode and continues to play the rom. I do not know how to change AHK to run as admin, and I am not receiving any admin errors. All help is greatly appreciated! Scott
