[Delay launch of apps]

No your English is just fine friend, I was up far too late working on a project and in an effort to keep my brain sharp I was trolling around the forums. Clearly that didn't work out for me haha. Can you share in detail the application that you are launching and any parameters you have setup in Launchbox? I don't need the batch file, just an idea of the app you are launching and any specific changes you have entered into the front end. No promises, but I'll commit to taking a look and trying to duplicate and or correct the problem for you. 

Edit: My mind is telling me the easiest fix is to create an AHK script that will run the programs in order. Again, just brainstorming. 

 

I trying to launch a game in epsxe emulator with default settings that comes with launchbox "-nogui -slowboot -loadbin". I have a specific controller config for that game, and i created a .batch file to modify the registry settings for this.

The batch works very well "Only have 1 line of code to execute the registry file" but launchbox opens the game too quickly and it seems that the changes can´t made with that fast.

Thanks again.

Using the Timeout command would likely work for you. Simply enter "timeout /t 10" before the next line in the batch to be ran. Remove the quotes and replace 10 with the amount of seconds you want to delay. Also, a keystroke can skip the wait if you so desire.

Edit: Maybe we are reading this incorrectly. Is your issue that Launchbox is opening the emulator/app too quickly or that the batch file is being run too quickly? Please forgive me, it's 230am EST for me and I've been staring at lines of Python all night. If you need to delay the batch, timeout should sort things. If it's the former, I'd probably need more info and some sleep to assist.

And yes Zeromod, you´re right. My issue is that Launchbox is opening the emulator/app too quickly, not that the batch file is being run too quickly.

There is a batch command that can delay commands by x amount of time, would that work?

First of all, thanks for your replies.

I apologize, maybe i didn´t explait it well. English is not my mother language.

The problem is not with the .batch The problem is that launchbox opens the game too fast, and there´s no time for the .bath to take effect. I want to delay the launch of the game with launchbox, not delay the .batch executable.

Hi! I´m new with this awesome backend, and i´m suffering to do something.

I have created a .bat file to edit a registry key in windows, "It contains controller configuration" and it´s needed for a game.

I set the option Auto execute before the main application. The problem is, that, launchbox starts the game very soon, and the registry settings doesn´t take effect.

I tested the .bat, and works perfect, changes the registry, the problem is that the .bat takes 1 second to take effect, but launchbox opens the game before.

Any ideas to do this? i searched for an option to delay the launch of the main app before "x" seconds to help the registry to take effect, but launchbox not seem to have that.

Thanks in advance, and congratulations to the devs with this marvelous backend
