Retrofrogg Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 How can I add an "additional app" for all games in a platform, without editing each one manually and individually? Can I do this by editing the platform XML, or is there any other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 There isn't anyway to currently and it is a travesty that this feature didn't get votes on the poll as it really needs to be implemented to improve usability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Thanks DOS76. Stuff can get implemented without votes on a poll though can't it? I mean if Jason feels it is worthwhile he can do it, votes or no votes. Edited January 13, 2019 by Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Yeah Jason can do what ever he wants to do but mostly he works off of the poll and what is most popular with the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 What about this - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 there you go didn't even know that post was a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Me neither. It's pretty complicated though, and didn't work for me the first time I tried it...but somehow it has just started working for me now (don't ask me how)!

Arcanthur Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Any word on this being implemented into future builds? I could really use this feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 It may or may not be on the next poll, it was on the last poll but got very few votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 It's the type of feature that most people don't think/care about until they need it... and then they really need it; but that also means it isn't likely to get much attention in the polls (which is unfortunate, because I'd love to have it myself). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanthur Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Maybe if people knew why it was such an important feature they'd be more willing to vote for it? For me personally, I'm currently in AHK hell trying to run a batch file to get my resolution to change back to 640x480 on my arcade monitor when I exit Retroarch. (I'm using super resolutions). Using the additional apps feature and pointing it to my batch file works perfectly. I'm pulling my hair out trying to get it working.

Zombeaver Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Probably the fastest thing to do would be to edit the xml directly, rather than through the actual LB UI. Open up the platform xml in data\platforms in Notepad++ and use the ones that you've already done as an example. I'd recommend backing up the .xml first... Alternately, if whatever you using in the script isn't game-specific, you could add it as part of the autohotkey section of your Retroarch emulator entry itself, rather than on a per-game basis.

Arcanthur Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Thanks, I just have a simple batch file that runs a command line program to change the resolution. It just runs this one command: changescreenresolution.exe /w=640 /h=480 /f=60 /b=32 /d=0 I'm trying to figure out how to implement either the command itself, or running the batch file when Retroarch exits as an AHK. I thought I had it working, but it only worked one time. I thought maybe the AHK was still running, but even after a reboot it didn't work anymore. What command/s could I try in the AHK section to run that on exit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
