Flatout Ultimate Carnage initial Setup...

[unchartednano]

Hi,
I have finished my arcade machine with arcade controls and all but, im having some issues adding Flatout ultimate Carnage game into bigbox:

Flatout ultimate carnage has a setup startup screen that does not let me bypass it, i have tried to add some parameters to the game EXE, like -noConfig or -noSetup, and without success.
These type of games are bundled into a big file that does not let me edit theirs configuration like a notepad file.
There is no other EXE in the game folder, that launches directly the game without going through the initial setup.
without this bypass bigbox just launches the game but i cant control that setup window without a mouse or keyboard...
Can you help me pls?

Compliments

You will likely just have to accept that you need a mouse to launch that game im afraid. At the end of the day it is a PC game, so it is expected that you have a mouse connected to a PC. Its not unusual for games to have splash screens that need mouse input to actually start the game.

Yes, i understant, but i come up to  an idea that i can create a script like Autohotkey that makes it work a combination of keyboard strokes, the problem is i am not even a newbie when it comes to scripting, and would like someone who whould help me with that.

Trying the same thing but it's very tricky to do with ahk. Did you find a good solution

 

Update:

Here is the autohotkey v1 code that works for me:

; Set the working directory to the game's path
SetWorkingDir, C:\ZOOM PLATFORM\Strategy First\FlatOut - Ultimate Carnage\
; Run the game executable
Run, fouc.exe
; Wait for the game window to appear
WinWait, FlatOut Ultimate Carnage v1.0,, 10
; If the window is found, bring it to the foreground
IfWinExist, FlatOut Ultimate Carnage v1.0
{

    ; Send a click to the OK button using the control's text
    ControlClick, Button1, FlatOut Ultimate Carnage v1.0, , , NA
}
