So far this has worked 100% for me. You sir, are a star!

I have the same issue. Did you ever fix it or work out what was wrong? Even when you use Alt+Tab the window still stays behind BigBox, the only difference is the BigBox screen effectively pauses and the audio switches from BigBox to the game audio. Controls work for the game too. There just seems to be nothing you can do to bring the active window to the front. I don't think it's tied to the start-up screen as I've tried everything with that and switched it off entirely and it still doesn't help. I hadn't realised it was only when switching from MAME. I'll give that a check to see if it's the same for me. Most of my go-to games are MAME so it's entirely likely I just hadn't noticed. I'd got into the habit of restarting my machine when I want to play Steam as it seemed to be the only way it would work 100% of the time.

That one worked! I did have to fiddle with the startup/shutdown screen timings as it was switching screens while the game over screen was displayed but once I got that right it worked like a charm! Thankyou so much!!

So it still doesn't seem to work. The only thing I've not mentioned is that for that emulator I use a program called QRES as an additional app. All it does is switch the refresh rate to 57hz to match the original hardware and then back to 60hz when you quit the emulator. I dont think this will have any effect on the autohotkey script but I thought I'd just mention it.

So the complete script would be, SetTitleMatchMode, 2 WinWait, Supermodel WinActivate, Supermodel I get by with my button method purely because it stops me needing a keyboard but I'd much rather it was automated, I'll give it a go in a bit and let you know how I get on. Just to be clear I just type the script into the running script for the emulator exactly as I wrote it above?

Thanks for helping but that didn't seem to work. I tried both methods. The problem with Window Title is that it also shows the name of the game, for example "Supermodel - Scud Race" so just writing Supermodel didn't work. It also didn't work using the exe name either. For now I've just mapped two unused buttons on the wheel to Alt and Tab respectively and just cycle through the open windows back to Supermodel when I load each game. It's just clunkier than I'd like. Obviously launchbox is a very polished and pretty front end and doing that seems a bit out of place when everything else works so well.

Hi when I launch supermodel from big box, I have no force feedback with my steering wheel. I've discovered this is because although the window is fullscreen and on top, it isn't actually active. If I alt tab it'll become active and the feedback will kick in. Is there a script that will make supermodel the active window?
