How did you resolve the ahk not closing correctly? I’m having similar issues. It started with ahk not exiting. Then some scripts started to not close the programs when hitting esc. Some won’t launch the games. Some that use no mousy don’t make my mouse reappear on exit. Really strange, I have over 100 light gun games on scripts with multiple emulators running perfect then all of a sudden ahk isn’t working properly and all hell breaks loose haha.

Is there a way to add the url containing the snaps into lb so It will download them instead of me having to download them all individually ?

I just added WiiWare to my lb/bb and I Scraped it as wii but when trying to get the media Its missing a bunch. I've found the snaps on emu so I know they are available but why isn't lb finding them?

Thanks to both of you. everything is working perfectly now!

That was the problem. Its works now. Thanks. Also wondering if you'd share a ahk script to launch sm2 games this way? I have : Run, F:\DemulShoote_v10.5.0\DemulShooter.exe -target=model2 -rom=hotd Run, emulator_multicpu.exe -f -L "F:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Sega Model 2 Emu 1.1a\Model 2 Emulator 1.1a\m2emulator\roms\hotd.zip" It only launches the emulator though not the game.

Run, mame.exe "F:\Video Games\MAME 0.242 ROMs (non-merged)\timecris.zip", "F:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME 0.242" This is what mine looks like. File paths are spelled and typed correctly. the ahk was placed in my mame root folder. path to rom is correct and after the last comma is my mame root folder.

I got the Retroarch ahk working but the mame ahk isn't. I checked my file paths and they are good. I'm pointing it right to the .zip but the error I'm getting is that It can't find any of the files that are in the zip file. I tried 2 different roms that I know work. example " c71.bin not found ( tried in timecris) ". Its not a ahk error its a mame error. any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I'll try those later when I'm at my pc and post back. Thanks so much!

Hey I’m trying to create a ahk script to launch single games in retroarch and mame. Or a ahk script to launch games through lb/bb. I am just looking for a example that works that I can change and use. example: run, retroarch.exe core-… rom- super Mario world. run, mame Rom- time crisis run, launchbox.exe platform- snes rom- super Mario world im trying to set up a stream deck to launch games with the touch of a button and it works with some games but I don’t know what a ahk would look like for mame or retroarch.

Well I just went to test them again and they worked perfectly without me changing anything. I guess bb just needed a restart. Strange. Thanks for the help all the same

Thanks for the reply. I am using pcsx2 and my ahk almost matches yours exactly. just a different file path. I'm goin to test more tonight and check my emulator setting in lb.

So I have a few PS2 games that I launch as ahk files that skip the gun calibration screen and work perfectly in lb but when I try to launch them in bb the screen never appears. I can hear it running but bb just takes me back to the menu screen that says play game. What can be causing this?

I was wondering if anyone could make a theme video for a playlist I want to create for games I want to play next. I'm open to whatever you think is a good name. I was thinking something along the lines of: up next, on deck, next up. I tried searching but couldn't really find any on the site. Thanks in advance to anyone interested in making this!

Okay I think I'll just live with them not fitting properly because I'm not using a theme that works with my set up until I have time to look through the other themes and maybe choose a different one or a new one pops up that I like. Thanks for the help!

Yea i understand what You are saying about the aspect ratios not matching up and that make perfect sense. I'm thinking that some of the videos I'm using ( ones I downloaded on the forum) are probably 16:9 but the others that I had luanchbox dowload while importing the roms should fit but I have something set up wrong which is probably what I just posted about using ultrawide theme when my tv is not ultrawide.

I think I might have figured out part of the problem. I'm using unified ultrawide theme and my tv isnt ultrawide. When I switched to unified theme some of the snaps fit perfectly. So I really like the unified ultrawide theme but I also would like the snaps to fit properly. Is there a way to set unified up to look exactly like unified ultrawide? I haven't messed around with the themes much since I got bb I found ultrawide and liked it so I stuck with it.

If you watch this video by unbroken software displaying unified theme all the games he scrolls through the snaps fit the box perfectly. I'd like mine to fit like this but I don't know why they wouldn't be.

So this is normal then? Even the nes set that was downloaded from emu through launchbox doesn't fill the box it has borders. if the creators made them mostly in 4:3 then the box in the main theme im using must not be 4:3 or 16:9 because now that I'm looking none of these snaps are fitting correctly.

I guess I never paid much attention until now but it looks like all the themes/snaps are like this. Is there a way to fix this?

I would like the theme videos to fit inside the box correctly. Will I have to resize every theme separately or am I missing something. I would think whoever made these would have made them to fit correctly and there is something I just don't know.

Hey everyone I grabbed some switch video themes from the downloads section but when I looked at them in bb they dont fill the box. Its like the box is a different aspect ratio than the video maybe? any easy way to correct this?

I use launchbox to launch dolphin and my games but I can only get the wiimote to work when I open dolphin and the go to controllers/refresh. Then If I launch a game through dolphin not launchbox it works but if I exit that game and dolphin and then reopen dolphin and try the same game it won't work. Is there a way for dolphin to recognize the control is hooked up and synced automatically or will it only do that for dinput controllers?

Thanks for the info. I think I'll just create separate ini files for each game since there aren't that many and the majority I want to maintain the aspect ratio so they have bezels.
