If you want to pass variables from the AHK Launcher to internal LaunchBox AHK just save those variables to an .INI configuration files then have the Internal AHK read the .INI file.

Actually you can setup an emulator as an AHK within LaunchBox and pass these variables %launchboxbigboxexepath%, %romfile%, %platform%, and %FULL\PATH\TO\ROM\FILE Look at example to see how to setup: Your AHK becomes a launcher to launch the emulator.

Request: Be nice to add an icon to the menu for this plugin.

Uncheck Enable Debug Log then make sure that Display Errors on FE Quit is unchecked it will be greyed out unless you uncheck Enable Debug Log. This is under the Misc Option Tab in the LEDBlinky Config program.

DPI scaling at 225% which I am at is ok. Looks damn good on my 55" LG CX text is smooth no pixelation going on here.

Thank you! Menu is fixed now.😁

Another issue I had tonight was in BigBox using BannerBox theme and could not exit. I launched an emulator and exited back to BannerBox and could scroll thru the games for that system but could not exit back to top menu no matter how many times I pressed the ESC key or held it in did nothing. Reverted back to 11.18-beta 4 and tested and works just fine.

Clearly can see the difference in size and spacing within the menu as well. Does not matter what theme you use or LB theme as well I tested with New/old theme same result

@C-Beats Here you go: Beta 11.18-beta 4 Beta 12.0-beta 2

menu still screwed up. Lot of the plugins config options get cutoff. Reverting back 11.18-beta 4 fixed it. Like I said before it's like the new menu spacing is off or too big noticeable difference.

Problem from the tools menu ... The plugin settings get cutoff when viewing from the menu toolbar. Size looks different too like like spaced out too big. Switched back to old beta 11.18 beta 4 and back to normal and working

BigBox seems to not remember what wheel you were last in if say your in a platform and move the wheel to a specific game and exit BB when you re-launch BB it will go back to the previous game however if you move the wheel to a specific game and exit back to the platform wheel and then exit BB it will remember what wheel game wheel you where last on. Yes the settings are set correctly to remember. Happens with BannerBox v2.1 theme but have not tested other themes to see if I get the same results. Granted I have not used BigBox a whole bunch so this maybe been happening for awhile or how it's supposed to work but I would think no matter what wheel inside a platform I was on and exit BigBox it should remember that specific game I was on last regardless and not have to exit the game wheel back to the platforms wheel for it to remember. Anyways guys keep up the great work!

@C-Beats Yes It's there now ? Thank you sir

Only applies to newer LB Themes the Old theme does not have that new feature

I found when you select all roms under a platform ... LB is very slow responding and when I went to change the emulator for all those roms it made LaunchBox unusable to the point had to re-install completely from a backup and delete the folder because just rebooting LB or re-verting back was still making it that LB was locking up and freezing. Strangely as well I never had a bsod with Win10 and after I update to 11.16 beta after system was idle for 10 mins or so I got a bsod on win 10. never had that ever happened before and only thing I did prior was install that update and had those issues happen. Since reverting back as a clean install no bsod since. Maybe not related but seems odd too me but worth mentioning it. 11.15 working just fine no bsod after idling as well. Thought why would that have anything to do with what happened but never know I guess and and thought possibly a hardware thing but never changed anything other than that update but who knows at least everything seems ok now. Whew! hahaha Good thing for backups on a external HD.

When installing LaunchBox for first time and you goto setup Add Game after doing so goes thru process but the Add Game window stays on top I would think it should disappear as it starts to import your games/roms.

Congratz! @faeran Welcome aboard and a very nice addition to the team. Very smart of Jason to snag ya and bring you aboard pretty much a no brainer.

It's in your LaunchBox\Images\Badges folder.

Watch Retro Faeran's videos when he builds several themes from scratch as he shows you what he is doing and explains it in the videos which is very helpful. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2C5q0Muy-ehYpZUIIdJ94Q

Sorry there are no links out there of ready to go active marquees in ahk for LB/BB. There are examples of how to embed videos in an ahk gui out there if you know how to code in ahk. Just search Google. I have active marquees coded and working currently in my slingshot launchers but it's still a work in progress.

Active marquees works great just using AHK no need for Hyper Marquee to accomplish doing that.

Icons in the title bar for the import feature are still micro small. Yeah it's slightly better on startup but noway better than 11.8 was but helluva lot better than last beta haha

Good catch .. yeah confirmed that as well. The other thing I noticed is the Icons for GOG/EPIC/WINDOWS Ect ect are very very small need a magnifying glass to see them in the window title bar. Populating Games is what takes the longest when LaunchBox starting up.

At least I wasn't imagining it?

One thing noticed is when Launching LaunchBox is very slow to start.
