You likely need a theme designed for ultrawide monitors.

Right click the platform name for it and edit. In the parents tab if you have a check mark in the Root option uncheck it.

With it working after a fresh import and then not after closing LB and reopening it has me wondering about data in your \Data\Platform folder. That folder should only contain a single xml for each platform you have. Is there any chance you have backups of those xml files in the folder as well?

That was probably the key for you then. The $ is a modifier and was probably preventing the Escape key from sending the hook. I have it in mine so I can only confirm it works for me. Glad you are at least up an running.

Just confirming cabinet support as I know there is an older PBFX3 that can run a game directly without the code from Zen Studios. That one got replaced with the version that needs the code. To see if AHK works test another emulator by using controller automation or an AHK. I may not be accurate in this, but I remember seeing something that LB sends a pseudo AHK command so AHK is not really running in the background. It was from a post when it was discovered the Process, Close option really is not good to use. Try: a::send !{F4}

If what is not running? Not sure what to say. I tested on all my cabinets and my test pc and Escape works fine. Do you have a cabinet support code for your Pinball FX3 (Is cabinet support working)?

Try this: $Esc:: Send !{f4}

Yeah, Process Close is not a good version to be using. WinClose is recommended. If you run a game in Pinball FX3 outside of Launchbox and hit "Escape" only pauses. Does Alt+F4 close it?

Here is my exact set-up on my pinball cabinet. No issues closing using my buttons I mapped in LB for exiting a game. My settings pretty much mirror what you posted. Even on my pc with the Steam version the same command works. Do you have any other software running that might interfere like JoyToKey or something?

Can you paste an image of the script and where you place it in the emulator settings within LB?

You have to add individual AHK compiled script to each game. Why not just set the exe up as an emulator? I have it set that way in one of my cabinets.

What version LB are you on?

What game is it? Just updated media for a bunch of games in various systems and Emumovies works.

Yes. There is an option specifically for that. BigBox settings look in the View options. You will see a default startup option.

@rodridangelo96 Since you ran the installer again look and see if it made a second install in a different folder path like \Launhbox\Launchbox. Since you say it opens after you run the installer and will not open again it sound like it installed LB in a completely different folder than the original one and when you try to open the original .exe it is still corrupt. I would search your drive and see if you find two version of the Launchbox.exe in different folders. If you do have a second one like I believe then you need to rerun the installer and make sure it is pointed to the correct folder so it can overwrite your original install and fix it.

@Jason Carr My set-ups crash with both 16GB and 32GB set-ups. The 32GB setup usually takes a lot longer, but it does eventually crash. The two crash logs were on 16GB set-up. Definitely not saying the crash is solely LB related, but wanted to add that I am using more than 8GB of Ram. The most common factor is theme. It took longer to crash on default theme with the 16GB memory set-ups than it did with custom themes like Unified Redux or Editorial Noir. Not to worried about the issue, but wanted to add my testing and results since other users are reporting the issue.

Sounds like maybe you have a set of buttons/keys mapped inside BigBox for the "Exit" command. Inside BigBox go to either Keyboard or Controller mapping section and look at the command for "Exit" if you have anything mapped there that specifically is for exiting BigBox. Not for exiting a game. Although you did say this happens in "LaunchBox/BigBox" eluding to both so that may not be the case. But I would start there.

Can you clarify what you mean by multiple buttons? Is it any random combination of buttons or specific buttons from each side? Does it only occur while in a game or can you be in BigBox and hit buttons and it close? Also does it crash with an error or just simply close out?

For Snespx add the text below to the Default Command Line Parameters for the emulator in LaunchBox. -fullscreen

Theme is working fine for me. Are you using the latest version of the theme? The header in the xaml shows 1.0.4, but the upload to the forum is showing 1.5 as the latest version.

Yeah, that's what I was stating. For example here with a game running in Retroarch AHK does not run. I only see it running if I have dedicated compiled AHK as an additional app to a game such as a Windows game that might need one. If you noticed it running maybe that was the issue. The AHK was running and overriding any inputs from your controller/keyboard. I have had that happen before. The AHK script did not close correctly and kept the program running.

What were you using AHK for that had it running in the background? The reason I ask is AHK is not typically running in the background when LB/BB is running a game. The only time I ever see it running is if I am using a compiled AHK as an additional application when running a game that needs it.

It's possible, Jason may have changed it from when he originally explained it the difference in the two. But, it likely means it does not need it and it is actually responding to controller/keyboard automation. I do not have an AHK script in my set-up for Pinball FX3 and it exits fine. How controller/keyboard automation in LB/BB works is it will first send "Escape" and if the game does not close it will then send Alt+F4. Jason said he even coded it to recognize certain emulators and it will send its unique command like DosBox which uses Ctrl+F9. So it sends each until it closes. Some of course will not respond and need an AHK. But either way as long as it is working. Just wanted to clarify as there are users that were putting AHK in the Exit and it was not responding until they moved it to the Running AHK tab.

Just an FYI. It should properly be in the Running AHK tab. That is the tab for any script to affect emulation during running. The Exit tab is for Exiting from within the LB/BB Pause theme's.
