[ePSXe quit message]

This is how I fixed it:

 

In Launchbox go to Tools->Manage Emulators. Click edit on your ePSXe. Put this in the AutoHotKey Script:

 

; This section closes EPSXE when pressing alt+f4(the auto close for controller)
$!f4::
{
    Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}}
}

 

The automation close via controller calls ALT+F4 on the keyboard to close the emu. So by using an AutoHotKey Script to close the application on ALT+F4 it solves the problem. This should work with any other emulators that experience this issue(epsxe is the only one I found)

[Minimum or Maximum specs for Bigbox?]

I use the RetroFresh Detailed theme. It runs perfect on my personal

i7 4770 @ 3.8GHZ

500GB SSD

16 GB RAM

GTX 980 4GB

I've also been building a Bigbox system using the same theme on some old hardware - a Dell Optiplex 960 Small Form Factor. Everything loads up quick, but scrolling through the titles there can be slight latency(like half a second to a second) loading videos. It's still seamless enough to not need to change the theme

[How to close epsxe with a controller]

I had this exact same problem. Here is how I solved it with minimum tinkering(not to be confused with it not being a pain to figure out!):

 

In Launchbox go to Tools->Manage Emulators. Click edit on your ePSXe. Put this in the AutoHotKey Script:

 

; This section closes EPSXE when pressing alt+f4(the auto close for controller)
$!f4::
{
    Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}}
}
