d8thstar Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 hey guys, is this possible? if not, i'll open a feature request. as i'm setting up my sinden lightguins, i've had to create some generic bat files to do a few things before a lightgun game starts and another bat to close some things out when the game is exited. but i am having to add "additional apps" to each and every game and this is pretty time time consuming. I have a playlist with 217 games in it and i'm having to do this to each and every one. I can't do it at the emulator level because i only want these bats to run for lightgun games. if i select all the games in my lightgun list, i can bulk edit a bunch of stuff but it would be great to be able to bulk add additional apps. any thoiughts?

d8thstar Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 well nevermind. i decided to make a duplicate of mame, specifically for lightgun games, added that as a new emu and then added my bat file lines top the autohotkey startup for the emu, all good now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Having that 2nd emulator is probably a lot cleaner and also easier to make adjustments (if needed) than each game having additional apps. But (in the future) if ever you need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you select 2 or more games then right click one of them? It should show and the bottom of the menu that pops up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stino2004 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 is there anyway to pass the actual value of the "%romfile%" launchbox variable to an AHK script via the Additional Apps feature? I'm trying to use an AHK script to launch DemulShooter and my 2 lightgun processes but need to pass the "rom name" into my ahk script for DemulShooter but I get the literal value of %romfile% instead of the rom name.

JoeViking245 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 @stino2004 You can't pass a variable to a Running Script, an Exit Script nor an Additional App. But you can get creative and find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
