Need help on exit button

[Jrami223]

So I have Nintendo switch Wii U and for some reason it doesn't exit when I'm done playing is there a way to exit and go back to Big box.... I always got to minimize the screen and then hit x to go back to big box if there's a video tutorial please add the link I can't figure it out

1. Check your emulators if they don't run with Admin Rights. Right click the emulator's .exe > untick "Run as Administrator".

2. In BigBox > Options > Controller Mappings: enter a button (combo) in "Close the Active Window".

3. In LaunchBox > Tools > Manage Emulators > [your emulator] > Running AutoHotKey Script, enter:

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

If you use a keyboard, use "Keyboard Automation" and set to Escape.

If you use a controller, you can use any button or button combination you like. I have mine set to the Xbox Guide button + Start.

Hello, I attempted this but I can not see it working for me.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would like the Xbox guide button plus start to exit the emulator back to Launchbox.

Here is the script I pasted.

; No custom exit script is necessary for RetroArch
; since it already uses the Escape key by default

;Xbox Guide button + Start
$Esc::
{
WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}
}

The one liner here is closing the active window when the Escape key is pressed. The script you have doesn't do what you think it does, the Guide button and Start button are not being told to do anything here.

 

But, there is a much simpler way built right into the frontend! You should instead be doing this through LaunchBox. Go into Tools > Options > Game Controllers > Mappings and simply change the hotkey to what you want. In this case you want the Guide button and Start button (mine is showing the View button and Start button)

In LaunchBox it will be called "Exit Game"
