[Big Box isn't regaining Window Focus after game exit]

I had this problem and managed to find a fix that works for me, at least for Retroarch.  In the manage emulators option under tools select edit under Retroarch and select the Game Startup Screen tab and check the box "Hide all windows that are not in exclusive fullscreen mode" Hope this helps someone.

Just want to say thank you! This solution worked for me when I was having focus issues with Supermodel 3.

[Problem with focus after exiting supermodel]

I know supermodel has been a bit of an ongoing issue but I have managed to get the keyboard automation working to exit supermodel but when returning to big box, it loses focus and requires me to click on it to regain control. This is all fine and dandy when a keyboard and mouse is connected but doesn’t work when they are not. 
 

I seem to remember someone having a script or something that forces windows to refocus on big box every few seconds? Is this a thing or is there an easier solution that I’m missing? 
 

thanks 

 

EDIT: Shortly after posting this I found topic similar to this with a solution. In launchbox, go to Tools/Manage Emulators, double click on supermodel Click on the Startup Screen tab and make sure "Hide All Windows that are not in Exclusive Fullscreen Mode" is checked. This means after exiting supermodel, focus is applied back to whatever application is exclusively fullscreen, in this case that should always be Big Box.

[Auto Hotkey Scripts]

Back again with a new problem, I was able to use the Exit AHK to exit Supermodel but I tried using the exact same AHK to exit TeknoParrot but it does not work, Does anyone have a Exit AHK script that works for TeknoParrot in Bigbox?

 

~1 & 2::

Duration=0

Loop

{	Duration ++

	If !GetKeyState("1","P") || !GetKeyState("2","P")

		Break

	If Duration > 2

	{	

        Process, Close, {{{TeknoparrotUi.exe}}}

		break

	}

	Sleep, 1000

}

return

 

Thanks again

What does the script look like you are using and what tab are you putting it in (Running AHK or Exit AHK)?

I have changed the 4 to a 1 so it should exit when pressing player 1 and 2 together but it does nothing. thanks for the replay. im putting it in the exit hot key

[Auto Hotkey Scripts]

Could use some help exiting supermodel with autohotkey, I have copied the scripts found here and modified the keys for my own system but they do not work, I am using a pc build with a iPac pro and would like to use keys 1 and 2, my player buttons to exit the emulator. 
 

no matter what I change in the autohotkey window in LaunchBox, it still only exits when pressing esc button. Please help, I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong! 
 

thank you!

[Steam Import Not working]

Thanks for everyone’s help, I have sorted the issue, turns out you need to make sure your community profile is fully set up, I didn’t have a custom domain setup so my profile name wasn’t fully connected to my profile. Once I set that up, it worked flawlessly.

The steam importer works just fine. Sounds like a firewall issue to me.

Anything you can tell me that I should look for? Is it a firewall setting in my modem or is it a firewall setting with steam? Any direction I should go in to solve this issue?

[Steam Import Not working]

Trying to import steam games, I registered an API Key and my account is set to public but I continue to get an error saying to import my games I must be connected to the internet. I have had zero issue importing any other type of game. I searched for other topics with the same issue but the only ones I could find where almost two years old. has no progress been made in two years to fix the broken steam import issue? If that's true how do I play my steam games on a cabinet without having to connect a keyboard and mouse? How do I force them to launch from big box and launchbox?

 

Thank you
