Duckstation close back to Big Box

[spizzetz]

I am having an issue where i can't get Duckstation to fully close which would bring me right back to Big Box. In Big Box I set the hot keys to use L3 + R3 to close the active window. This works great for most emulators but Duckstation not so much. It will close the game but then i will be left looking at the duckstation UI. Im wondering if anybody has figured this out as i really want to use my xbox controller to close out the games in duckstation and go back to big box UI.

For anybody looking, i figured this out. There are two .exe files for duckstation. Use the file that is NOT the qt version. It should work then. Cheers

Hey i am using duckstation recently, i also have no idea how to close out the game and go back to big box ui. other emulators i usually just need to press esc. i have tried using the non qt .exe version but it still shows the confirmation button and then back to duckstation ui. How do you avoid this?

Same issue here, I used the duckstation-sdl-x64-ReleaseLTCG , instead of the qt version and it still brings up the duckstation UI if I close a game down.

Would also like to know what script to use to CLOSE CLOSE duckstation and avoid the exit UI and prompt to close....

If you use the duckstation-nogui-x64-ReleaseLTCG.exe version, add the following to: LaunchBox > Tools > Manage Emulator > Duckstation >  Running AutoHotKey script

$Esc::
{
WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}
}

If you use the duckstation-qt-x64-ReleaseLTCG.exe version, add -batch as an command-line parameter. No further script is required.

When you all are exiting duckstation are you setting a key in the power off setting of duckstation? I'm trying to get the exit command to work with my controller when I'm in bigbox and I can't get the screen to pop up that askes me if I want to exit or resume.

I used the duckstation-qt-x64-ReleaseLTCG.exe file and adding -batch to the command line parameter worked for me. No other scripts were needed. Thank you A.I. Overlord for the tip!
