    keyboard mappings Shutdown Option?

    in Features

    Posted · Edited by jayjay

    Have an autohotkey script run in the background?

     

    a::

    shutdown, 1

     

    ^that will shutdown when A keyboard button is pressed.

     

    Joy1::

    shutdown, 1

     

    ^that will shutdown when joy pad button 1 (which is A on 360 controller) is pressed.

     

    Joy1::

    Send {a down}{a up}

    Send {b down}{b up}

     

    ^that presses keyboard A and B when joypad1 button is pressed.

     

    I will be using a slightly modified version of this:

    joy5::
    if GetKeyState("joy6")
    if GetKeyState("joy7")
    if GetKeyState("joy8")
    Goto, PowerOff
    return

    joy6::
    if GetKeyState("joy5")
    if GetKeyState("joy7")
    if GetKeyState("joy8")
    Goto, PowerOff
    return

    joy7::
    if GetKeyState("joy6")
    if GetKeyState("joy5")
    if GetKeyState("joy8")
    Goto, PowerOff
    return

    joy8::
    if GetKeyState("joy6")
    if GetKeyState("joy7")
    if GetKeyState("joy5")
    Goto, PowerOff
    return


    PowerOff:
    {
    Shutdown, 1
    }

     

    ^ this will shutdown when RB + LB + Select + Start on 360 controller is pressed. But I plan on having a confirmation screen before actual shutdown. Unless we get shutdown while locked option til then. If you want to use this but need more help let me know, I am just a AHK noob but I'll do what I can. 

    EDIT:

     

    a::

    Process, Exist, Bigbox.exe
        If ErrorLevel <> 0
             Process, Close, Bigbox.exe

    Shutdown, 1

     

    ^that will kill bigbox then shutdown when keyboard A is pressed.

    yeah there was a good amount I couldn't use because of aspect ratio and also just didn't look acceptable. Better grabbing large pics and down sizing them.

     

    I used the word boarder as I didnt know how to write "that purple bit down the side" lol. I know they arnt the best looking but I think acceptable taking into consideration how much time editing each one takes and how much I dislike doing it. I was going to do it to Genesis til I looked at the covers and saw "Megadrive" written across lots of covers... Im not separating and editing them lol that's far to much work

    I decided I would do the same thing to game gear. I downloaded through launchbox all covers. Then used a bulk resize tool and resized all images the same, then used a bulk merge tool to merge a border and all the covers together at once. Actually the merge tool I used would leave a white border around the whole image for some reason, I couldn't work out why. So I then used a bulk crop tool. Apparently photoshop has bulk edit options.

     

    Anyway Im waffling, I would use you covers, they look good.

    So... @noxx kindly gave me a script that allows me to press "start and select" on xbox controller to exit whatever emulator and return to bigbox. With this starting point iv learnt how to "select + lb" = save state and "select + rb" = load state. Feeling confident I decided I was going to BADLY write a script that when in bigbox mode pressing "select + start + lb + rb" would run a fullscreen png saying "shutdown pc, a = yes, b =no" etc. Pressing "a" will shutdown pc, pressing "b" would kill png and return to bigbox.

     

    And then it occurred to me after 2 days of writing this that bigbox will have a shutdown option wont it. Of course it ******** does. What a idiot. lol. 

     

    Im working towards a controller only machine, no keyboard or mouse, I have nieces and nephews that break stuff so my suggestion/request is to allow "shutdown" while locked for bigbox. Please. Much the same way as "allow exit while locked".

    Im losing my mind trying to work this out.

     

    Could someone please provide me with a script to make "select" + "start" = esc.

    select is joy7 and start is joy8.

     

    joy7 & joy8 :: send {esc down} - I thought I had it with this but all this does is press start and it exits dolphin, select does nothing. Iv tried searching for a hold down command so I could maybe hold select and press start but Iv come up with nothing that works for soooo many hours now lol. Please help. 

    Change "Licensed to my name".

    Hi guys. New user and a bit of a noob.

    I was wondering is there a way to lose the "Licensed to jayjay" that sits in the top left corner of Launchbox? Changing my name in the xml breaks premium and cant find any option to hide it.

    I know it may sound as if I want to pass my license around but that's not the case. I know my name probably isn't the only thing in the xml which would identify me anyway. Im just one of those weirdo types who doesn't like to see my name every time I open Launchbox?
