Pretty excited to see this...I was sure it was dead 4ever lol. I have tons android devices...will email for beta.

I reserved one. A device that can run the entire steam library & 95% of the emulators & can dock to the big TV/wireless controllers...yeah that's the one. Wondering about the emu/retro stuff frontend though. Don't really wanna rip their OS out & install windows. Would be nice with a native LB on it...

Ok understood. I nvr knew that. Thanks.

Ah! Yes that did it. I've never understood the diff in the core folder stuff and the other ones but it seems to have done the trick. Thanks you so much!

Wondering if anyone has had any success with setting up Bigbox with the Logitech G-Hub app to control the FE with the wheel? I have setup a Bigbox profile in GHub, pointing at the bigbox.exe and assigned my BB navigation keys to buttons on the wheel but when I launch BB these keys aren't working. I can set the same keys up in the Desktop profile in GHub and it works fine when BB is running but this causes issues when mapping the individual game profiles in BB. When I launch BB, GHub flips over the the Desktop profile. It's like GHub doesn't recognize bigbox.exe as a valid application. I tried attaching the profile for launchbox.exe also but no luck. I mean, there are workarounds but it seems like this should work. Any help is appreciated...thanks...Piper

I have 2 Sindens & have pretty much all the old & new LG games working. I have an AMD 3400G CPU & nVidia 1650 Super. It runs all of them fine.

Got it figured. Had inadvertently dropped it in my PS2 games folder. Thx

Would someone mind posting their (working) emulator settings for Standalone Duckstation in LB/BB? I have the emulator setup pointing to the no-gui exe but when launching the game through LB/BB it just goes to a black screen and sits there. I can launch the exact same exe, same rom, etc directly in DS and the game loads up/plays just fine. Win10/64b LB 11.7 DS 0.1-3862-g8f821c77 (dev) Thanks...Piper PS: I have the "close" AHK in running AHK and it closes fine

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.
