Yeah that should be normal.

I am not sure then. Honestly I never looked to see if AHK runs in the background. I have not had any issues with any emulator or exe for that matter not working with an AHK script assigned. I really do not use Steam anymore. I do know many users and mods do and have not seen any reported issues with AHK and something launched through Steam. I am not home to set-up Steam back up with Pinball FX3 to test. It did work when I last had it up a year ago.

Have you set your region priorities in Launchbox? The region priorities help for prioritizing imports and displayed images. If not go to >Tools>Options then click "Region Priorities". You can select all the ones you want and then order them by preference. Or only select one if you want.

I understand that, just confirming to make sure it is not something else hindering exiting of any kind. Run a Pinball game and hit Alt+F4 and see if it exits properly. No AHK or anything just hit Alt+F4. If you run Pinball FX3.exe without Steam that would be the key combo that would exit it.

The other systems you set up does exiting work properly?

Xaml files cannot be renamed. They must remain how they were originally named. If you are using the default theme and want to alter it you simply copy the whole folder named "Default" in the \Launchbox\Themes folder. Paste it into the same \Launchbox\Themes folder and rename that newly pasted folder something else other than Default. Then you can edit it anyway you choose. If you edit a xaml file you simply save it, but it has to be named how the original xaml was named. So since you edited the GameMarqueeView.xaml it has to stay that name. In BigBox you then change the theme to that newly named one you edited.

If you are using Steam.exe try this code (or edit to the pinball's exe) and see if anything happens. $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe Steam.exe }

The "Exit AHK Script" is only for exiting the game/emulator from within the BigBox Pause Screen. So the script will only affect that. Standard exit scripts to close out an emulator, if one is needed, would go in the Running AHK tab.

Yeah this theme is not coded for videos in List (or Text Games) view.

It should work fine with an AHK. I have no issues closing it. You can probably try changing the AHK to below. Alt+F4 closes Pinball FX3.exe correctly. Escape when in Pinball FX3 usually takes you to the menu which is what you are seeing. ESC:: Send !{f4}

Neutered is probably a bit harsh since it works fine for a lot of standard playlist building. Sure power users could use more options and Jason could already have this on his table to tackle. Not all things can be built at once when it is just one man developing.

Yes, for now you would have to do it per game as an additional application. Unfortunately some things are still to be developed. It is only a one man show developing Launchbox.

So on exit you are looking to have that loaded profile close and then reload the profile specific for moving in BigBox exit correct? This is not working likely the Exit AHK tab in the edit emulator is for the exit hook command (closing an emulator/game) when using the exit option in the Pause Menu. I may not be able to run AHK at exit to close out a profile. I am not sure how that would be done as I do not have experience using Ultimarc and loading specific profiles.

The running script is where you would put an AHK to exit an emulator if needed. The Exiting AHK, I believe, is for the Pause Menu exit item. What emulator are you trying to use an AHK on? Also, how are you trying to get it to exit? (Post the script you are using).

Yes. The file name of the clear logo for the system must match how you have the system named in Launchbox. Rename the file and then refresh the image cache.

So you are just missing images for some systems, not all correct? If so, do you have images downloaded for those systems in their correct folders and named exactly as the system is named in your set-up?

Anytime.

What you do there affects BigBox as well as LB is the base driver for BigBox.

Yes. Or in Launchbox go to Manage emulators and choose Retroarch to edit. In the Associated Platforms tab it will list what you chose next to the NES and SNES listings.

Here is the plugin. In BigBox you can set a key/button for Spin Wheel While Pressed. It is located in the Controller Buttons as well as Keyboard Mappings Options. Set the map and then when you press that button or key it will spin until you let go then stop randomly on a game.

In Launchbox go to Tools, Option and look in Image priorities for Screenshot make GamePlay be the first one that shows. You can move the priorities up or down.

Here is a thread on the issue. In the thread Jason did say he has put this on his list to look into. The post was just under a month ago and I do not think I have seen any release notes updating this so it is likely Jason will get to it in time.

That is the old way. Now all you need to do is in the video folder is create a folder called "Startup" an drop any videos in there. They do not need to be named anything specific either. BigBox will choose a random one each startup.

What version of Retorarch are you on and what core are you using for SNES? Pause has worked well for many users with Retroarch so it might just be an odd setting or something. Also just for clarity are you on Win7 or Win10?

Glad you are sorted.
