  1. Where can I buy one?
  2. Ah, yeah on a per game basis like @Zombeaver says. I was thinking on a global emulator basis.
  3. I'm guessing you could probably also simply modify the command in the xml file.
  4. If you're trying to do this in the Edit Emulator window, I don't see a way to get the /c at the end. But you could use a batch file as your emulator and in the batch file you could run your emulator or exe with the command you want and in the order you want. Edit: I think the batch file would be something like this: pathToFile\XXXX.exe %1 /c or maybe with quotes: pathToFile\XXXX.exe "%1" /c
  5. Ok, so here is one @Jason Carr probably doesn't get too much heat on. Ever since installing the 7.10 Betas, my Bigbox loads up way too fast. I hardly get to see ANY of my startup video. Haha. Bigbox starts way too dam fast! But this BB setting seems to do the trick for me "Minimum Startup Video Duration = 10 seconds". Don't worry Jason, you can make Launchbox (as opposed to Bigbox) start as fast as you can, and I'll never complain about that!
  6. I didn't start Bigbox in windowed mode. I set Steam Big Picture to run windowed. Settings icon->Display Resolution->"Start Big Picture mode Windowed"
  7. I can see someone might want it to stop running when not running a game for various reasons. This is a weird one.
  8. ok, this is not an easy problem - hahaha!
  9. i'm not sure the best/easiest way to handle this situation, but you could write a super simple autohotkey script that just launches your steam games normally. you would turn the .ahk file into .exe and create an emulator in LB for this new exe. then you would set all your steam games to run with this "emulator" in the games' emulator tab. your autohotkey exe just needs to accept the value LB will send it that is in your Application path field, so the autohotkey script will just run that path value. so, if your autohotkey script was named like steamlauncher.exe , it would always know to only run the 'after' command when steamlauncher.exe closes, so you keep that open until the game exits. if i can make a little time, i'll try it out.
  10. ok, i'm on my computer now. i think i see your problem. i think it's not running the after additional app at all for me because it doesn't know what process it is that it is supposed to run after since i'm using a steam type launch in format steam://rungameid/240360 maybe for you, whatever exe you launch isn't the one that's running when the game actually closes. i'll have to think about this one. haha
  11. Yes, forget the batch file for now. Just use the additional apps tab to type in the taskkill command and parameters directky in the fields. Sorry I'm on my phone and mobile now so I cant give exact steps, but thats what Im trying to get you to try.
  12. can i see screenshots of your main game properties page and one including the emulator tab and additional apps tab?
  13. I'm quite sure what I suggested would work. Try it. The way I suggested is not using any batch files. You need to add an "after" command in the additional apps section for the game. That will kill steam after the game is done running. For launching the game, you don't use a batch file, you just launch it with its shortcut info.
  14. Yes it does work like you are wanting. It sounds like you are launching your games from LB using something special? Maybe you can post screenshots of one of these games (right click game and go to edit it) including the first tab in the game properties and the Emulator tab. Also include screenshots of the emulator you have set to run this game by going to Tools->Manage emulators and edit the emulator.
  15. Not sure I'm following what you want. Is this what you want?: - launch steam game from LB where it basically launches the steam shortcut - game and steam launch - exit game, steam remains running. - close steam?? (is this what you are looking to do?) You can just add the steam game shortcut to LB. Then for that game, you can add an additional app (in the game properties in LB) in the after section enter the command to exit steam, like taskkill.exe /IM steam.exe
  16. I've only seen it fail like this on about 3 of very many tried and it is a consistent failure on those 3, so I'm guessing it just didn't find a video for those 3.
  17. Just to be safer, I would do a find on Games\ and replace with L:Games\
  18. got a new youtube scraper plugin error with beta 7 that i didnt see with beta 6 edit: it might not be new to beta 7 bolt.txt
  19. Is it possible to make a video scraper plugin so it just plays a video in the LB sidebar or in BB like it normally does when the video is on the disk? That would be sweet for systems that don't have storage space for videos.
  20. Same for me! Awesome!
  21. Did you guys check the plugin file properties to make sure you don't have to click the Unblock button on the file property window? The main description describes how to do that.
  22. It was just an example. You'll have to find the problem using process of elimination.
  23. Some people have found a part of their anti virus type software was causing it. You really have to just start going through all your non microsoft processes (includes services) and determine which one is causing this. So you might start there. And disabling your anti virus doesn't always mean it stops all the AV processes. You might have to stop a service(s) also.
  24. Wow, that's a bad bug. It would be nice though to be sure, to make sure it isn't somehow losing focus by adding a keyboard or a mouse and seeing if you can navigate Bigbox after that happens, and to see if you can do anything at all inside the OS.
    I've used this for MANY of my more recent consoles using the automatic one click option (no url pasting) and it gets the right video every time! Great time saver! This is awesome! I love it! It's great! I can't stop using it! It's a good day today!
