There's no piracy allowed here so we can't point to the roms but all I can say is google is your friend. But assuming you get the roms I suggest getting Supermodel with GUI it's just easier to manager the roms outside of Launchbox but then it's easy to put them in Launchbox no special settings required just add the emulator add the roms and point them to the emulator and that's it.

Why do you want to close Borderless Gaming? I just leave it as a tray icon and start it with Windows you can even hide it but then again I use it for a lot more than just one game. It's not like it's taking up a lot of RAM.

Ok I'm a day outdated, but then you shouldn't need a script anymore if it's fixed.

Instead of a script I use Borderless Gaming and I run it with Windows startup it automatically makes it fullscreen every time and I think it keeps aspect ratio. But only Hikaru should need a script or a third party app the rest of Demul should do fullscreen with choosing the option in the settings. Devs have not fixed Hikaru issue yet even with new Demul.

You know where it says Badges - Image Group - Arrange - View - Tools - License to? I believe an XML can be edited but not sure which one. I feel like I either did it before successfully or at least asked about it on here several years ago but can't remember what to do.

"It seems manual addition is possible using that method now. " Not a new feature that's pretty much how I always add mine for over 6 years now.

That is so cool I'm jelly of y'all I have a bad ass collection IMO but it would just be so cool to have it in a cabinet. Not happening for me though.

You could also just put "--fullscreen=true" in the default command line in Launchbox as mentioned already in this thread.

Wait you guys just leave Big Box open all the time? Is that computer solely for gaming it's hard to even use a browser and I have two screens (laptop + TV)

I already have it on my taskbar I just want it to stay open and always fullscreen sorta like it's desktop wallpaper. When I minimize my browser for example it's there at all times. But I made it 10000 which is 10 seconds but for some reason it instantly gives me the "Launchbox is already running" msg after choosing switch to desktop mode in Big Box.

I just realized something the script that forces Launchbox to stay open is causing the issue. #SingleInstance, Force iTC_EXE = "c:\Launchbox\Launchbox.exe" iTC_Path = "c:\Launchbox\" iTC_imgName = Launchbox.exe loop { Process, Exist, %iTC_imgName% ; check to see if iTeleportConnect is running If (ErrorLevel = 0) ; If it is not running { Run, %iTC_EXE%, %iTC_Path%, hide } Else ; If it is running, ErrorLevel equals the process id for the target program (Printkey). Then do nothing. { sleep 5 } } So it keeps checking if launchbox is open so I guess when Big box is running launchbox.exe can't run so the conflict causes it to stay open in task manager?Is there any adjustment I can do where I can keep using this script and Launchbox will open after closing Big Box? I changed sleep 5 to sleep 8000 but that didn't help.

I made a thread that I never got an answer that fixed the problem about when I run Big Box and exit Big Box Launchbox.exe will stay stuck in task manager and I get the error that Launchbox is already running until I go into task manager and close it. I was wondering since you're pretty good at scripts could you give me a script that is always running like a loop that is checking for it to be in that state and can make it be full screen again? I have another script that keeps Launchbox open at all times but of course with Big Box it has to close or I should say it's supposed to close but doesn't fully.

Maybe I'm just dumb does a theme mean the background will change or just the layout of the games?

I downloaded Coverbox Remastered, put that main folder in the root of themes, I also tried making a copy of default and overwriting the files from Coverbox Remastered, tried selecting both ways in Big Box and nothing changes just black screen behind the games. I also rebooted Big Box. Anything I'm missing? My folder layout Launchbox/themes/Coverbox Remastered

When I add either of those exactly lines to default command line the game doesn't work just shows the MelonDS screen. Since it's saying always or never maybe it's only meant to be ran once through command line? But it made no difference in the booting as far as I could tell when I ran it once using a command prompt

Can someone explain to me how to use this parameter -b --boot <auto, always, never>. I need it to be never, at least I want to try it. Do I use the < >? I tried both ways putting it in the default command line but if I put --boot never the game doesn't boot it just opens MelonDS if I do --boot <never> nothing even comes up at all. Totally confused.

This will flash for like half a second I'm trying to avoid that but it may not be possible. I have directboot enabled already and I looked in the config file didn't see anything else.

So I'm trying to make as many of my emulators be direct boot where it doesn't show any GUI and just boots directly in the game. I've had a lot of trouble with that on Dolphin and I can use startup screen where it says loading but I not only want to skip the loading screen the GUI flashes briefly over the loading screen (yes I'm being overly picky I'm sorry) I'd rather it just boot directly in the game with no gui no waiting like I've been able to do on most emulators. There was a DolphinGUI that they used to use a long time ago and I just happened to get ahold of it a Dolphin built for Teknoparrot but it doesn't seem to work right it still shows the GUI when the game is launching. Has anyone solved this if they're like me picky about GUIs running when a game launches?

I have a lot of games and it seems it's not straight forward in how to make it to where some have a startup screen yet do not have a screen that says game over when you exit. If you are using an emulator game you can easily just go into your emulator settings under edit turn off the game over screen and that will take care of all games for that emulator. Very easy, very straight forward. The issue comes in with PC games that don't give you the same options. I have around 400 PC games and there's no setting that I know of that would allow all of them to have it where there's a startup screen but no game over screen, or is there? In options there's a Startup Screen option but you can only check the box if you want a startup screen with no option for game over. I have discovered you can highlight all the games you want choose edit and drop field the only one that would seem to apply would be "Startup Screen Shutdown Enabled" but it's confusing to me it doesn't give you the option to disable game over screen only to enable it I think. So I don't know how to have one without the other. But to be fair I'm on an old Launchbox from 4 or 5 years ago and can't update for my own reasons so maybe it's different with an updated Launchbox.

That's what I mean nobody's really asking anything I was the first post since October. But I think that 90%+ of Launchbox users don't use autohotkey or at least they don't use it with Launchbox.

It's a shame this thread doesn't get updated very much anymore, it's very helpful to Launchbox. But anyway I was hoping for a script what I want to do is press a keyboard key and have Launchbox come up fullscreen which I've accomplished that part, but the part I haven't is I want that key to include activating it to where I can start navigating it without having to take my mouse and click on it. I have tried ControlClick but it's not working very well. (although I'm not an ahk expert maybe it's my script IDK) HotKey, F8, LaunchUpdate return LaunchUpdate: WinMinimize ahk_exe launchbox.exe WinMaximize ahk_exe launchbox.exe Controlclick, x500 y700, Left, launchbox WinActivate ahk_exe launchbox ;...any code you need... return Edit: lol didn't read the thread someone was having that problem of the mouse moving and clicking on this page. Edit 2: Found a script from a few years ago that works! I used F8 and then used Joytokey to map it to a controller combo so I can pull up Launchbox at any time and have it activated.

Don't know the answer to your questions unfortunately but just curious does that game require a subscription to Teknoparrot? I tried Golden Tee Fore! in MAME but can't get the trackball emulated with my controller correctly.

Just go to Tools > Manage Platforms and select the platform you selected for N64 and you go to the second page and click on Box-Front you can tell it where the images should go, you have a conflict.

Having said that I'm having issues with mine as well it was freezing when I hit edit on a game but that stopped but even after I ran scannow and DISM my launchbox stays open in task manager when I close it. I have to go into task manager and manually close it.

You could try sfc scannow and DISM, it's a computer problem. First run DISM with /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth to ensure the system image is healthy, and then run sfc /scannow to fix any system files.
