When you audit and select a bunch of games that are missing some type of media, you can choose to try downloading the missing media. when i do that it doesn't get everything, because i end up going into each game one by one after that to check the ones still missing that media and am able to get the media one by one.

ahh, maybe that's why i see that. nothing you can do on your end to improve it?

this happens to me all the time (for any platform). that's why i don't have much luck using the audit feature

You may also just be able to use the autohotkey.exe that comes with LB, by running the path to autohotkey.exe and your script name.

Yes, he is. Haha

Well, that's all I had to do as long as I put the actual ahk script in that path specified. Maybe it works for me because I have AutoHotKey actually installed on my system.

is bigbox.exe there in the Launchbox folder? If you right click it and choose properties, do you see an Unblock button? anti-virus blocking it? if not, i would think you can just reinstall LB to the same folder and it will work.

I'm with Lordmonkus.

This also works for me: $Esc:: { Run, "C:\temp\dostuff.ahk" } Edit: I did not have to rename any ahk exe files or anything. just needed to add the line above to launch my ahk script.

Ok, I just added this simple snippet to the emulator ahk tab: $Esc:: { Run, %A_AHKPath% "C:\temp\dostuff.ahk" } Upon exiting the game and emulator, the dostuff.ahk script was still running. It slept a bit and then it killed a process i had running. Is this not what you want to do? It's not much work at all?

I think that is a great idea actually. If there was a checkbox type thing on the ahk tab for that as an option, it would be nice.

Its not as easy as it sounds. Not without additional 3rd party tools. no, i don't think that's true. i can think of a couple ways that might work. you could have ahk run some cmd or batch file that in turn runs a start command of anything you want. that will not be terminated by LB

i think the stand alone might be better anyway? is it crashing even launching through RA without LB - i would think so? doubt it's LB related.

you can be tricky and have LB run something that runs the script totally outside of LB.

I think you should probably post your exact ahk script. I also assume you have verified the same script outside of LB works as you expect.

Just giving you options that work, at least for me. Since you have 20 years of development experience, I'm sure you'll find a way to run a script or other program the way you want.

ok. same idea. you just run the process kill (or whatever task you want to do) after you exit the game with controller automation. so here is an example of how to close xpadder when exiting the game with your controller: you just run what you want before the the emulator exit (process, close, {{{startupexe}}}) line runs: $Esc:: { Run, C:\Xpadder\Xpadder.exe /C Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} }

Are you trying to do this as an additional application for some game and running this ahk script before the games starts? If you are, and you have a sleep in the script long enough to wait until the process is surely running before you try to kill it, you might try something like this in your loop that checks: Process, Exist, process.exe if(!errorlevel) Process, Close, process.exe

Why not just use a better emulator like mupen64plus?

Yeah, I tried it and it worked for me to remove the emulation starting text but nothing worked to remove the status bar with clock. Maybe that worked in an older version.

What are you clicking on specifically to open LB? Have you tried double clicking launchbox.exe? Have you tried reinstalling LB to the same folder?

maybe try installing LB into a brand new folder and see if the problem goes away. or try using some of your LaunchBox\Backups backup files for bigboxsettings maybe.

A quick google on it turns this up: To remove the "Emulation Started" that pops up, go to the folder where you installed Project 64. Inside the "Lang" folder right click the "English.pj" file and open it in notepad. (Unless you're using a different language). Towards the bottom of the text, change the line that says: "Emulation Started" to " " and save it. If you still get a blue box with the time when you load a rom, switch the graphics plugin to Glide64 so you can uncheck the option to show the time under Configure Graphics Plugin. I did this and switched back to Jabo's plugin. The time and blue box stayed gone even though Jabo's configuration didn't have an option for it. Figured I'd post this in case anyone was googling the heck out of this like me

Mine start that way with p64, but it never really bothered me because it goes away once the game starts going. But I don't use p64 anymore anyway.

I think you will need two LB folders that you will just have to rsync every so often. I think you need two sets of emulator folders to rsync as well, so you don't have common emulator write conflicts and controller issues. I think both LB folders could share the same media and rom folders.
