Haha, yea did it by hand but still great to see this. In case I do it again. Thx...Piper

Can someone make one for Wii Counter Force?

Ok, that helped I am finding that. Thank you. Question is what do I remove exactly? So I bulk-added 2 Additional Apps called "Sinden P1" and "Sinden P2"... Here is what my ArcadeClassics.xml file has... It has these for all my Arcade Classics lightgun games. I want to remove all traces of both of these from all games. Would I need to remove everything from/including <AddtionalApplication> to </AdditionalApplication> for each/all game entires? Thanks for the help...Piper

Haven't tried it yet. The weird thing is launching the exact same demul via reg emu launch it's hidden but with ahk it isn't? Do you mind if I post my ahk for you to look at? Any thoughts are appreciated...

Ok thx I'll chk that.

Ok thx. The issue is if I launch Demul directly from LB I get no cursor. If I launch it from within an AHK from LB, no matter what I do, it still shows the cursor. Tried LB checkbox not 2 show, 2 dift nomousy programs...nothing will hide it. It has to be a LB thing bc in both instances I'm launching the exact same Demul. It's very odd...

Same prob. Don't think I can block mouse using a lightgun. Tried hide mouse, no mousy, nothing working...

Yea but I don't see anything in the platform.xml referencing addl apps? I'm not sure what to remove.

Is there any way to Bulk remove the Additional Apps? I saw the post about editing the platform.xml but there is no info about Additional Apps in that xml that I can see. So from a previous try at this I bulk added (2) Additional Apps, I now have (1) Additional App that is working (on most games) but I need to remove the (2) that I bulk added with this plugin. Thanks...Piper

Sure. With some help over at the Sinden Discord (they're very helpful) here is what I have. It IS working, with 1 exception. For games that require DemulShooter. For those games I have (2) Additional Apps...(1) that launches DemulShooter with the correct parameters for that particular game and (2) this AHK which laounches the (2) instances of Sinden software. #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory. #SingleInstance force ;AHK Script to Launch Sinden P1 & P2 prior to game/rom launch Run, "C:\Sinden Lightgun\Sinden Gun 1P\SindenLightgunWindowsSoftwareV1.04\SindenLightgun\Lightgun.exe" -autostart,, Minimize, pid1 sleep 100 Run, "C:\Sinden Lightgun\Sinden Gun 2P\SindenLightgunWindowsSoftwareV1.04\SindenLightgun\Lightgun.exe" -autostart,, Minimize, pid2 ~ESC:: Process, Close, %pid1% Process, Close, %pid2% ExitApp

Yep Sindens, love them...so accurate. Well worth the wait.

Ok, gotcha. So I'm thinking an AHK to launch both instances and then on ESC (exit key) closes both & emu. Will have to test. Thanks...Piper

Hi, thanks for this plugin. I have a playlist called "Lightgun Games" that I used it to launch (2) instances of my lightgun software before each game, worked great. The only think I see is that the (2) instances do not close when exiting the game. Any ideas on that? I have "Run before main application" checked and it fires them both up great, it just leaves them running after the game. I was running them both from Windows startup but this is a cleaner way, so they aren't hanging around when not in use. Thanks...Piper

Well I should say it's an xinput controller but my coin & start are keys. It's an pedestal cab.

Ah ok. I just did your initial steps I need to work through the thread. Xinput controller now but have a Logitech G29 setup on it's way.

so if i alt+tab so that the 2nd window is up i can enter coins & start. i can then alt+tab back to the main window and have full controls. it looks like the game just won't accept coins/start without the 2nd window in focus...weird. any ideas?

yeah if i alt+tab and bring the 2nd window (the grey one) in front of the fullscreen game then i have full controls.

seems to be a window focus issue. if i just run it in demul outside of lb (without the ahk) then i have full control once the game starts.

hmm, this is cool. so the ahk seems to work..after several attempts to "connect" it comes up to the game play screen fullscreen but then i have no control/inputs. double checked my demul arcade inputs are setup right. i have 5 for coin and 1 for start but it won't even accept coins. any ideas? thx...Piper

Hi, I have LB/BB running on my cab, works great. I have an nVidia Shield TV that I am trying to setup to stream my BB to my big screen TV for some couch gaming. I watched ETA Primes video on the subject but I guess I'm not fully understanding the controller setup portion of the arrangement. So on my cab I have my kb encoder (joysticks/buttons/etc) for arcade games and I have (2) Logitech F310s (xinput) plugged in for console gaming...works great. I have an nVidia GPU on my cab so I setup Gamestream and also Steamlink (App). I primarily focusing on Steamlink since from what I've read it seams to be the best to use. I setup BB as an external game in my Steam and from my Shield TV I can open up Steamlink and open BB, navigate, launch games, etc...that part works good. Now the rub is how to manage the controllers for the Shield TV/Steamlink. When I launch a game I have no control in game. So for the Shield TV/Steamlink I have a knock-off xbox360 wireless controller (xinput also). So how do I setup the wireless controller to control the games from the Shield TV? All the emulators are setup with the F310s that are on the cab. My first thought was to sync the wireless remote to the PC, and setup the emus for that controller as well but it's a BT remote, if I sync to the cab (PC) then it's no longer sync'd to the Shield TV and then the emus won't work when played at the cab with my wired F310s. I'm in total confusion on this. From what I read I thought the Steamlink app would somehow manage this but I'm just missing the point. Or is this not do-able at all and do I have to use the same remote on the Shield TV that I do on the cab? Anyone with any experience in doing this, input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...Piper

Unfortunately same result. It will change rez & back but never launches the game. If I launch the game directly at that same location it loads up fine.

Ok I'll try that. Thank you. I'm learning ahk in real-time lol.

Hi, I'm trying to script an AHK that will launch a resolution changer with a profile to change the resolution to 1080, then launch a game, then when I press escape (which closes the game already) launch the resolution changer again with a profile to change back to 4K. With my (very limited) knowledge of AHK, I have the following: #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. Run, C:\DisplayChanger2\dc2x86.exe -configure="1080p60.xml" return Run, E:\Launchbox\Games\Teknoparrot\Sega Nu\Luigi's Mansion Arcade\exe\x64\Game Loader All RH.exe return Esc:: Run, C:\DisplayChanger2\dc2x86.exe -configure="4K60.xml" The AHK does change the resolution to 1080, and back to 4K when I press Esc but it never launches the game. Any tips? Note: If I directly launch the game, it loads up fine. Thanks...Piper

Hi, Is there a known issue with these? I'm trying to edit a game in my PS2 (PCSX2) collection by adding custom command line parameters. I check "Use Custom Command-line Parameters" and add the line in, click OK, but when I go back in to the game details, it is deleted every time. I've tried reboot, no go. I'm using these on many emus so not sure what is going on here. The line I'm trying to add is --fullscreen --cfgpath "[path to my game ini file]", unless I'm reading it wrong, according to PCSX2 docs this should be correct but LB won't save the change to the game details. LB 11.7 Win10 64b Thanks for any help...Piper
