LEDBlinky control lights stop after starting Cuphead

[WED21]

When I start cuphead from Bigbox the controls light up and go through the whole description of the controls but as soon as that is done it switches to my "FE Active Animation" . It never stays to the proper controls.

How are you lauching the game?  I have ledblinky working fine on my cabinet with cuphead.

It is launching thru Steam in BigBox. I've set controls for Windows Default and for Cuphead individually and both do the same thing.

Cuphead launches a secondary exe for the main game so that is why led blinky is not lighting your controls or is lighting them very briefly when the game starts. I fixed this by using an autohotkey script to launch the game and exit when cuphead closes. You have to change the game path in launchbox to launch the ahk script instead of the game exe/steam shortcut.

Here is a link to a video that helped me. In the youtube video description is a generic ahk script for launching games.  

 

 

Now this is the modified version of the ahk script for cuphead that I use with notes:

 

; Create a shortcut from steam to the game you want to play and replace XXXXXX with the game id from that shortcut. Copy the game id below and then delete the shortcut you just created.
Run, steam://rungameid/268910

; Sleep a few seconds to wait for it to activate. This may not be needed, it's
; just to be certain it's good to go.
Sleep, 5000

; Use the window title since the game launches additional exe.
; This will wait for the window to exist, then wait for it to close.
WinWait, Cuphead
WinWaitClose

; Shut off the splash image, if any.
SplashImage, Off

ExitApp
