Each time I start big box, I only get a black screen for about ten or fifteen seconds, and I if I try to alt tab to get out of it, I notice there are two launchbox icons, which leads me to believe that 2 instances of launch box are being launched each time I run the program. What can i do to fix or troubleshoot this? Thanks

I got it disabled, thanks.

IS there a way to disable the splash screen in big box, or speed up its startup time? I ask because I launch big box from an external program, and the splash screen really doesn't do much for me

I'm starting to get this a little more. Big Box sees HID button 548 as LAlt but I'm thinking auto hotkey sees it as something different. How would I replace the LAlt in the script with an HID button code? Is it something like HID548::(Insert button that back is mapped to in big box?)

Got it, will do.

I don't have a joystick connected to the computer, and i don't have any peripherals connected to the machine that can be reported as or emulate the movements of a joystick so I dont understand why your showing me a script that requires a joystick. Even the joysticktest.ahk fails on my computer because there aren't any joysticks hooked up to it. Thanks for being patient and trying to help out, and I get it if your done. I can run over to the AHK forums and look around there also.

Do I need to preclude HID with 1HID like you did in that joystick test? or can I just use HID518

The HID button code is 548 according to event ghost. The joystick script detects if there is a joystick connected to the PC and won't launch if there isn't one. So for my script I would type LAlt::548 or LAlt::HID548? Thanks for all the help Where Should I place the AHK file? If I remember correctly I used to place AHK scripts in the start menu but I believe they have to be Compiled?

Just to clarify, this is an auto hotkey script? If I am reading this script correctly, what I would want looks like this correct? #IfWinActive, LaunchBox Big Box LAlt::72 I don't need any other verbiage on the right side of those Collins aside from the HID number or do I?

I'm still running into this problem but my setup is unique because I have an RF remote whereas your ortek remote uses IR signals to emluate keybstrokes, my RF remote sends HID codes. Even when I remap buttons, Big Box sees the original button press (LeftAlt) and displays a side bar on the individual games menu within a given system. Is there a way to disable this view maybe? Will auto hotkey scripts block bigbox from seeing HID input so that the program isn't trying to perform two actions at once?

Do you know if left alt on the keyboard is mapped to any actions in bigbox?

Do you know if that remote sends keyboard keystrokes, or if it sends HID codes, or if it sends remote codes or what? My particular remote sends HID codes, and works off of RF not IR. It works as advertised in MOST other programs. I'm trying help others replicate my problem. I have an IR remote laying around also so i'll try it tonight as well.

I've remapped the keys in bigbox, and I've used Eventghost to emulate keystrokes. When I remap the key within big box, the MCE back button maps to left alt, and I get the behavior I just described. When i use Eventghost to send keystrokes, big box sees the original button press, and the sent keystrokes so that isn't working either.

I use a microsoft MCE remote for all of my machines, and I would like to be able to navigate big box with this remote also. My problem is the back button doesn't navigate backwards within big box when I have selected a platform, and I'm browsing the games for said platform but the back button does work everywhere else. For example, lets say I press back on the home screen, BIg Box navigates to the options screen, and the remote navigates correctly here, and everywhere else except within games list. When I select a platform, and the list of games comes up, if I press back nothing happens. I have tried to remap the back key but this has not worked. Has anyone else had this problem

Does launchbox HAVE to see a tree like folder structure or is it written so that it will allow a flat folder structure, or a single folder. I'm wondering if there is a way to kind of trick it into thinking its drilling down into a folder when its really not.
