I can open UCR easily any time. Once you open UCR, the controller profile is not started until you tell it to start. So I can easily start a profile while in the LaunchBox space. It loads my virtual Xbox controllers and then I can easily load any game. if however I tell LaunchBox to open ucr and load a profile as a script to load before the main application..UCR still works and my controllers load but ( excuse my naivety) the opening of UCR at that moment seems to dominate the computer. It freezes the emulator and the emulator won’t move forward. so the 2 things I thought may work 1) having UCR already open in the background. But not loading a profile until I enter a specific game. But I’m not sure how to code that. 2) opening UCR, loading a profile through LaunchBox script BUT having a long enough delay to let that settle and then open the emulator. I tried increasing a sleep time but it does not seem to matter. The emulator opens immediately with UCR. Again, I’m sure you know of a simpler way. thanks again for your thoughts. I appreciate your time.

Thank you for this. I did happen to try this exact thing. What happens is that UCR opens and loads the correct profile but freezes the emulator in the process. And I can’t get the emulator going again. It’s not paused. Alt-tab does nothing. I am now looking to see if there is a way that I can have UCR already open( I’ll just open it at startup) and then have LaunchBox load a specific profile for a game or emulator. I know that you can use the command argument to load a profile. I just don’t know if I can do that within LaunchBox. According to the developers of UCR, you can switch between all your profiles with just a command argument.

Maybe you can still help me. Basically you can launch a UCR profile with a command line argument. -p, —profile: UCR.exe -p “Some profile” I want to activate a profile when launching retroarch or steam games I am not sophisticated enough to know how or where to place this argument

Joeviking245.. I have a UCR profile set up to emulate a Xbox controller for my steam games. I have been trying to convert your advice to my situation: loading a specific UCR profile when I open steam games and close it down when the game is closed. I always seem to run into different problems: either not working at all or opening in a separate window and freezing the emulation. Would you be able to offer some advice on the best way to accomplish this? Also: would I have to add a script to every individual game or could it be a global script per platform? Thank you.
