I am currently learning PowerShell as part of my day job, and I figured I can move away from AHK and use PowerShell for automating stuff in Launchbox as well. This is my first stab at it, designed to get the infamous Project Phoenix Emulator to work hand-in-hand with Launchbox. It's not 100% PowerShell though, as I could not figure out how to move the mouse pointer without AHK. So an AHK script is embedded in Base64 to the PowerShell script. To give credit where it's due, the inspiration for this came from the tool made by @jophran SETUP INSTRUCTIONS Refer to THIS ARTICLE to download the emulator and the translation patch (Yeah, the interface is in Cyrillic and the patch is to translate it to English) Once the emulator has been patched, launch it and click on the 3DO and Jaguar icons on the left to have the emulator generate the requisite settings Search online for 3DO - FZ-10.bin and put it in the 3DO\BIOS folder Search online for [BIOS] Atari Jaguar (World).j64 and put it in the Jaguar\BIOS folder Launch the emulator Click on the 3DO icon and select File > Add BIOS file to the collection to connect the BIOS file Click File > Open CDROM image and simply pick any 3DO game to add to the emulator Click on the Jaguar icon and select File > Add BIOS file to the collection to connect the BIOS file Click File > Add CARTRIDGE file to the collection and simply pick any Jaguar game to add to the emulator Steps 6-9 are required to generate the required lines in the emulator's configuration file for the launcher to work. Close the emulator Download the attachment below. Put PhoenixLaunchbox.exe in the same folder where the Project Phoenix Emulator is Set PhoenixLaunchbox.exe as the emulator in Launchbox, add -Filename as the Default Command-Line Parameter. No other changes are required FEATURES It will automatically load the 3DO or Jaguar core, depending on your ROM/ISO file extension It has an embedded AHK script in it to automatically press the Power button on the emulator. Because it is based on the relative position of the window, ensure the toolbar is at the top of the emulator window The emulator will go to fullscreen 2 seconds after the game starts Pressing Escape on the keyboard will kill the emulator, like most other emulators LIMITATIONS The compiled executable is 64-bit only The Project Phoenix Emulator will popup an Android button in the toolbar from time to time, ensure the Android button is set to the same line as the main toolbar, otherwise the AHK script will cause the Android button to be pressed instead of the Power button Anyway, I hope y'all like it, and feel free to comment and suggest improvements / enhancements. Will upload this to the DOWNLOADS section once I am able to spend more time testing it and looking out for errors and areas for improvement. Project Phoenix Launcher.zip

Atari Jaguar View File Please subscribe to my Youtube Channel! My work blends a few influences relevant to the platform while showcasing the machine itself along with the games the platform ran: 1) Music made using sounds available on the platform (where possible) 2) The platform's boot screen (if possible) 3) Commercial influences usually in the form of the platform's marketing jingle. 4) The platform's packaging. In this way, the platform video itself gives an accurate interpretation of what the platform is, was marketed as, and what it looked and sounded like. In this video, the beginning displays the NTSC box design that expands into the PAL version to display game play. Submitter mcfilmmakers Submitted 10/21/2018 Category Platform Theme Videos

Hi, I'm using Retroarch virtualjaguar_libreto.dll to run my Atari Jaguar games, and am running into a lot of issues. The games that are working fine are fun, but it seems to be running a hair too fast. Any tips on slowing this down a touch? Also I'm having trouble using that core with the following games: Battlesphere (not loading) Club Drive (retroarch crashes after driving for a second or two) Cybermorph (sound seems to not work for everything) Iron Soldier (won't get past gun assign screen) Tempest 2000 (super choppy at menus and transitions) Dino Dudes (screen cut off on right) Hover Strike (can't control ship) Power Drive Rally (freezes on race screen) Wolfenstein 3D (will not launch) I had other issues, but this is the primary stuff it seems. I looked up some other emulators and tried Project Tempest for Tempest 2000 and it works great for that specific game, which is nice since it's one of my favorite Jaguar games. I used the custom loader at this thread here, and it launches from Launchbox without any issues: https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/9199-project-tempest-loader/ - but it doesn't work so great for a bunch of the other games, just a few seemed to do well. Anyone having the same issues using the virtualjaguar_libretro.dll core? Also anyone using a different emulator for Jaguar that is running games with fewer issues? Thanks!
