  1. I have launcher scripts already i place for other purposes but I cant find any documentation regarding how to structure the command line arguments to pass variables. is it as simple as %1% and %2%? Do you have a screenshot or perhaps documentation I haven't seen?
  2. What items are available to pass in this way? %gameid% is a new one..what are the others?
  3. Please elaborate..Is this is response to the ticket i opened regarding passing variables to AHK when launching a game? How can I use this?
  4. I figured out a workaround. Apparently BB doesnt like it when Future pInball is set to use a FULLSCREEN backbox display. I had to write a AHK script to move a non-fullscreen window to the correct coordinates on launch. This allows marquees to continue working in BB.
  5. Anyone see this or can reproduce? Problem: Exiting Future Pinball causes BigBox marquees to move almost entirely off screen Here are the steps to reproduce this problem: Enable secondary backbox display for Future Pinball Enable marquees for BigBox (same screen as backbox display) Open Future Pinball in BigBox Exit Future Pinball Do marquees stay visible for you???
  6. Done: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/2288/pass-variables-to-ahk-script-from-lb-bb
  7. I learned Imagemagick. Pointed it to the folders with boxes and logos and ran a script. Did all of one console in less than an hour. Edit: Also, most of them are already available in the DOWNLOAD section.
  8. I used an 18.5" widescreen monitor and mounted it to create the illusion its shorter than it is. That's a full size widescreen monitor with half of it hidden.
  9. Don't mind the sound quality.... Features: Pinball Tables with side flippers Retro Game Magazines Dynamic Marquees Hyperspin Themes Consoles Mame More I'm forgetting...
  10. Indeed. I'm waiting on one to respond to this thread.
  11. I dont want to modify the existing configuration. I want the user to use LB to configure their emulators as they do today but allow my app the ability to know what system and other information so it can hook in to LB and give them additional options during gameplay across all emulators. Think universal pause capability and access to image directories.
  12. Please elaborate.... My goal is to have the user run anything in LB or BB and have it pass system name, rom path, emulator path, etc. to another application so it can interact back and forth.
  13. All empty. I have a big thing in the works for LaunchBox if I can easily access some information from the application.
  14. Third this...@markmon..none of those work. Ive asked this in a duplicate thread by accident. PLEASE someone help me here. Also @ markmon, the emulator name and platform name would actually be beneficial for my purposes.
  15. I'm in need of the ability to pass platform/rom path/exe etc. to a AHK script upon launching in Launchbox. I have been able to inconsistently get %1% to pass a filename but cannot determine how or why this happens. Anyone have insight?
  16. My recommendation is to not use it at all. Future Pinball is much more realistic. Pinball Arcade also has a good selection of tables from the golden era.
  17. This is smart as CriticalCid as already stated he planned to do them in '17. Maybe reach out and offer assistance to approach in a systematic way.
  18. They are meant to utilize the Marquee feature for display on a second monitor while browsing/playing.
  19. They are meant to utilize the Marquee feature for display on a second monitor while browsing/playing.
  20. Attract mode (Beta 7) is crashing BB overnight. It will run for hours, come in the next day and its frozen and has to restart. How can i pull a log file to paste here?
  21. Could you possibly add this view for 4:3 folks? I made it and it works but I jacked up the details page to do it (because I'm dumb) and also had to screw up one of your views.
  22. Ditto. I use it to launch control layouts in mame with a single button push as well as manuals for consoles.
