@Porl Hendy, you can put this in an .ahk script file and run it. #InstallKeybdHook KeyHistory ; Display the history info in a window. an ahk window will popup. press your xbox one guide button and then press F5 to refresh the ahk window. here is what it shows for my xbox 360 to use for its guide button: VK SC Type Up/Dn Elapsed Key Window ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 07 000 a d 6.66 not found So that means you use : vk07sc000 See if your xbox one shows anything under VK and SC columns and substitute that in the script i posted.

I don't know if the virtual key and scan code (vk07sc000) for the xbox one is the same or if it even has one. You can try it. I don't have one.

Hi, I wanted to launch Bigbox just by pressing the middle guide (or maybe its called home button?) button on my xbox 360. I have autohotkey installed and I have one ahk script always running in the background anyway, so I just added this to my ahk script and now I can launch LB or BB with my xbox 360: vk07sc000:: Run, R:\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe return If you find this useful, cool. If you don't, that's ok too!

ok, i disabled the game bar thing (had to do it with a registry setting since there was no app setting without logging in). that took care of that. but the press to send "1" still doesn't work at least in MAME. However, I also tried changing the guide button to just send a MsgBox when pressed and when I pressed the button inside MAME it did popup the message box. maybe MAME knows the "1" is not from the regular keyboard but would work if i set it in MAME input settings using the guide button. so perhaps this will help you get what you wanted from the guide button. the cool thing is that this exercise got me what i wanted

I tried adding this ahk to MAME in LB as a test just now to send the 1 key press which is my MAME start key. It doesn't work, but when I do this in stand alone ahk script, what happens when i press the 360 guide button while in notepad, it does send the "1" character but also win 10 pops up some question about it asking if i want to open the game bar. haha

I just tried simple code below and it works! Very cool. I don't know if this does what you are looking for, but I thought it would be cool to open LB or BB via this guide button. With this ahk script running all the time, I can easily assign the guide button to do something that I want. I always have one ahk stand alone script running anyway for other things too, like displaying a Loading splash when LB unzips a game. So now I can just add this too: vk07sc000:: Run, R:\LaunchBox\LaunchBox.exe return

Being able to use the xbox 360 Guide button would be really nice. Hope you figure this out and just add it to native LB support. Does the script work when launching the same emulator and game outside of LB?

I think you can use a batch file (created inside Launchbox\7zip\temp) as the Cemu emulator to launch the rpx file after it's extracted. So, you would set the zip file game to use this batch file as the emulator. I am assuming you have the game as a single zipped file and somewhere inside there is an rpx file. If you create a batch file, like with a name of cemugame.bat, inside Launchbox\7zip\temp with code below, I think it should work (change the path to match where your cemu.exe is): @echo off for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /s /b *.rpx') do set cemugame=%%i "R:\Arcade\Emulators\Cemu\cemu_1.6.1\cemu.exe" -f -g "%cemugame%" There is one thing though. For some reason LB does not cleanup the extracted zip all the way after exiting the game/emulator. It will leave behind empty directories plus an empty Videos folder inside the Launchbox\7zip\temp directory. That shouldn't hurt any future launching.

It's not exactly clear to me about the state your LB folder is in now and what you have in there (actual game roms, media files, etc). Are you opposed to trying a clean LB install to a new folder and starting from scratch? That would surely work. Which pieces are you trying to avoid doing rework (images, video, etc)? You said everything was running fine before you started moving things around. Do you still have the setup that is working fine, or are you able to get back to that and try moving pieces a little at a time, maybe with some guidance?

Yeah you sure. Could setup RL to launch emulators and games, but for me, I dont want to use RL at all (i used to use it). Launchbox does nearly all I need and is a much simpler setup. But RL is a valid option if someone wants to go that route. Nice thing about LB is that there are options.

Hello, In case anyone is interested, I created a little, simple executable (it's an ahk script turned into exe) that will always run in your system tray. It sits there watching if 7z.exe is running, like when Launchbox unzips games. So, you will get a "LOADING..." splash while 7zip is unzipping, kind of like you see in BigBox. It will not trigger the loading splash if bigbox is running (because bigbox already has one). The downside is that you have to double click this executable one time so it will startup, instead of LB running it. If LB runs it, it will not work because LB doesn't runs ahk scripts until after it unzips the games (probably a good thing). Loading Loop.exe

Looks like this

Ok, I found one solution, but I don't really like it. It does work though. I just run the ahk script all the time in an infinite loop, outside of Launchbox. I had to install autohotkey to run an ahk script file on its own. If it ever detects 7z.exe running it will throw up "Loading..." and when 7z.exe stops, the Loading... splash goes away.

I thought I would add a Loading... splash for games that LB has to unzip with 7z.exe. I created an ahk script for an emulator that would show this until 7z.exe stops running. It doesn't work because the ahk script isn't triggered until AFTER LB unzips the game file I guess that would have messed with Bigbox also (it's not needed with BB) if it had worked for regular LB. Any ideas?

By the way, I love the weekly update emails and content! I look forward to seeing this one in my inbox every weekend!

So, I'm not really familiar with the "Primary Screen and Marquee Screen" feature. I've seen the term "marquee" a lot with respect to arcade cabinets and "marquee" images, but I never really looked into just what it is. Assuming you don't have a cabinet (yet!) like me, I'm guessing there could be something cool to use with this feature if you happen to have two screens available (like me), but at this moment I have no idea

I'm sure that will be cool for some users, but please make it so it can be disabled. Really anxious to see what else is coming...

Does anyone know what is planned for the next release after 6.12? @Jason Carr ?

I am using 16:9 fullscreen on my 1080p screen currently for ps1.

i got rumble to work. i just exported my lilypad settings from pcsx2 and imported. all good! still curious what you use for ps1 since epsxe seems to look so good for the few games i tried.

What do you use (Retroarch?)? Are you able to get the resolution and graphics looking good like ePSXe? I'd be interest in knowing what your video settings are for it with what you use.

@DOS76, do you know how to set it to rumble the controller? currently using keyboard api direct input , with no 'game device APIs" checked. maybe something in the Pads area where it shows something about pad1 pad2 dual shock 2?

works! wasn't sure on settings, but just used directinput since using Xpadder.

This should help you with MAME: and this may help also: http://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/33619-mame-tutorial-for-n00bs/#comment-205620
