Hi guys, i have a premium LB account and have seen the option to be able to exit games inside big box but I don’t have a clue of how to set it up or if this affects on the current game controls. For instance, I’d like something like in RetroArch when you can configure going back to main menu via start+select buttons. Thanks in advance

This started with me wanting to launch the Sharp X68000 emu (xm6g) in fullscreen. Now, in the options menu there are no box to check and so on, so i needed to make a script and convert it to a new .exe with some commands baked into it. I know there are many ways to achieve this but i decided to go with the free to use tool called Autoit. After installation run SciTE script editor Create your script, mine looks like this: 1. run("C:\Emulators\sharpx68000\xm6g.exe") - path to the original *.EXE 2. Sleep (900) - Give some time for the emu to start 3. Send("{ALTDOWN}") - Press and hold ALT 4. Send("{ENTER}") - Press ENTER 5. Send("{ALTUP}") - Release ALT Save the script Now Run Compile script to exe... 1. Add your script 2. Choose destination for your new exe 3. You can add icons. i usually use 7-zip to open the original emulator.exe and extract the icon. I have only used 32x32 sized .ico files... Click "Convert" DONE! In Launchbox just replace the emulator.exe with your new one

Hi All, I am keen to start a list of common command-line parameters we can all use for getting games to run, So I will start =) -autoconfig - Restores video and performance settings to default for the current hardware detected. Ignores settings inside any .cfg files until this parameter is removed. -dev - Enables developer mode. Also disables the automatic loading of menu background maps and stops the quit dialog from appearing on exit. -condebug - Logs all console output into the console.log text file. -console - Starts the game with the developer console enabled. -toconsole - Starts the engine directly in the console, unless a map is specified with +map. -dxlevel <level> - Forces a specific DirectX version when launching the game. This is useful if your graphics hardware is older, and gets significantly better performance in an earlier version of DirectX. Below are the most common modes used: -dxlevel 80 -dxlevel 81 -dxlevel 90 -dxlevel 95 -dxlevel 98 -fullscreen - Forces the engine to start in fullscreen mode. -windowed or -sw - Forces the engine to start in windowed mode. -16bpp or -32bpp - Forces the selected color mode (bit depth). GoldSource only -w <width> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <width>. -h <height> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <height>. This launch option does not need to be set in the presence of -w. The width value will determine the height automatically. -refresh <rate> - Force a specific refresh rate.
