I am trying to use this app called keyboard2xinput I can in theory have it load easily using the section available on launchbox, but I need it to close after i close that rom. the only way I can normally close it is by going down to the taskbar right clicking on it and pressing exit. I posted this question on the forum for that software and I recieved this info and i thought since you guys know more abotu programming and more about launchbox you could instruct me how to do this: Setup Launchbox to point to custom AHK script instead of games exe. This is example of one of my AHK: Code: [Select] #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. ; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors. SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory. #SingleInstance, Force #Persistent Run D:\Games\Keyboard2Xinput\Keyboard2XinputGui.exe Sleep, 1000 ; sleep 1 second Run D:\Games\Game shortcuts\DoubleDragon.exe.lnk Sleep, 1000 ; sleep 1 second proc1 = DoubleDragon.exe Process, Wait, %proc1% Process, WaitClose, %proc1% SendInput {NumpadMult} ExitApp Once windows process DoubleDragon ends AHK sends * NumpadMult which closes Keyboard2Xinput

I'm torn right now if I should put like a gt1030 into my i7 windows 7 setup or should I just leave it as is?

Ohhhhh that makes a ton of sense. I'm surprised you are just using an integrated graphics card, you don't find that you need a graphics card for some of the newer games... N64, dolphin, and up?

Have an i7 im getting from work and I thought I would put a cheap graphics card in there and then be all set. I have bigbox on another computer and it starting to lag more and more even though I simplified it as much as possible. Whats graphics card should I put in there? preferably cheap, preferably one i can find, and preferably nvidia so it works well with the emulators. help , thanks.

I will give that a try thank you! What's weird is in teknoparrot it even changes depending on game. Actually I have been using jconfig instead because it runs so much more smoothly and easily. But ya Mario Kart for instance will let me choose a character like normal, while dirty driving will have me unable to choose guys unless I want the furthest right or left or randomly trying to press the select button while it's shooting back and forth.

on teknoparrot especially, but also a bunch of other emulators whenever I am using my keyboard on a racing game and I press right or left it goes buckwild and goes all the way left or all the way right. It's very difficult to just go one by one like you would if you where using a keyboard or a gamepad or something. How does one fix this? I've googled until my fingers hurt and no one seems to be asking this question or I am very bad at googling, both might be true.

If I remembered where I got it I would send you a link but I think I found it somewhere on that emu...... Line... Place.

Ya I tried all the tricks as well and nothing worked, but yes I found a "resolution patched" version like koroth mentioned... That was the only thing that would work for me.

I had to download a new version of the game. They have different resolution versions of a whole bunch of the technoparrot games. I was able to find a website that had like 10 different resolution versions of the vt4 game and I got the one that closest matched my screen size... Atleast I think that's what I did.

I use the Playlist feature and then you are basically able to show and hide whatever you want. Works for now until they add this option.

So I still had run as admin on the actual exe as well as the tekno launcher. Once I got rid of both it worked! Well kind of. I can use the pause screen which is great but if I actually pause emulation then I can't get back. But this totally works for me. So thanks guys!

As soon as I don't open mine in admin for Virtua tennis it doesn't work. It fails the process or whet ever it is on that screen.

Oh wow I am using it in admin still for some reason that was a must back in the day and I never changed it. I'll try that out. By the way, I noticed you didn't stop emulation progress when you pause. That means the pause screen comes up but it doesn't actually pause the game right? I'm hoping mine actually pauses the game as well.

Oh happy to hear it's not just me. And ya I switched my pause key to q from delete. And sadly that did not fix my issue.

so it was a tutorial video, but not by you guys. i guess it was some sucra guy or something.... sadly I made it windowed and i still cant pause. delete button (my pause button) works on every other game and emulator but teknoparrot. I did some googling around and Im somehow alone on this, so maybe its just my weird setup, who knows.

Ohhh it was a while ago when I watched it but I thought it was a tutorial video but it might have just been a forum thread maybe. Hard to say now. OK I'll try out the exclusive screen vs window and see if that helps me out.

I am using the teknoparrot loader like the name one with the parrot on there. Basically I watched your guys video and copied that exactly. I am using it with Virtua tennis 4. I haven't tested it with any other games and I am using it with the game setup in exclusive full screen if that changes things.

I cant get the pause theme to work for teknoparrot stuff. Is this still in the works or am I doing something wrong?

so i discovered it must be the screen situation, when I switch the setup to window mode instead of fullscreen it works!!!! i dont know how i didnt see this before, but here we are. The bad new is when i use window it sets the resolution at some crazy high amount because i can i only see high the screen whether im on my lap top screen or my external monitor screen. I know they say you can switch the resolution in the ini, but I cant seem to really find an actual virtua tennis ini file. do I need to make my own or am I missing something?

so i unplugged the external speakers and still didnt work, Ill double check the audio setting, but as soon as I unplugged the external monitor as well it worked again. Im going to test plugging in the monitor once the game is already playing. but even if that works I dont know what I would do next.

I think you are very correct. I'm switching from the laptop built in speakers to external ones that are setup next to the external monitor. I don't recall if I have ever tried it without both connected at the same time, it never even crossed my mind that it would be the external speakers that where causing the issue. Technically not the actual speakers but you know what I mean. I am going to try and check that out later this morning. Obviously super easy to test. And I'll let you know. Thanks for follow up.

Huh... OK I will see if I can find that option and give it a try. Thank you.

I got Virtua tennis 4 working 100 percent fine on my laptop, but as soon as I plug my laptop into an external monitor the game won't work. It just starts up and then shutdown right after. Any ideas? I don't understand what's happening at all.

Oh that is very good to know. I don't normally try betas but when the legit version comes out I always update so thank you. That would be great. I'm loving the theme. I'm still working on changing all the controls to game specific... Speaking of is there an easy way to like export a list of all the games one has so I could keep track?
