topper2k Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hi all! I'm using Launchbox to manage some MAME and SEGA Sys 3 games and am loving it. I've seen tutorials on how to run/close a program at game launch. But I need to launch/close a program when Launchbox opens/closes. Is there a way to do that? If not in the free version, is it possible with BigBox? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to do that (both Free and Premium versions) is to start LaunchBox/BigBox using a batch file (or other similar script type language). Something like: start "" "F:\MyProgram Folder\MyProgram.exe" start /w "" "D:\LaunchBox\LaunchBox.exe" taskkill /F /IM MyProgram.exe The line beginning with "start /w" will start LaunchBox (or you can change it to BigBox.exe) and WAIT ("/w") for it to exit before executing the next command. In this case, exit the program you started on the 1st line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
