RPCS3 big box dual screen script issues

[klwolf2000]

So I have a dual screen setup with my TV as the 2nd display. In launchbox I have a working script to auto move the RPCS3 PS3 game to my 2nd screen and maximize the picture. First I would love to instead of maximize picture to make it go into full screen which I believe is Alt + Enter in RPCS3. I also have it set to press start + select to close and it works perfectly in launchbox. In Bigbox however, even if I set the close current content to start + select it won't work and the script to move the PS3 game to the 2nd window doesn't work. I didn't see anywhere in big box to setup scripts and I'm guessing it is not using the launchbox scripts. If anyone has any answers to these questions you will be my hero!

In BigBox, when you set Close the Active Window to Button 7 + Button 1 (or whatever #'s come up for your controller), they need to be pressed in that order.  You can add another button combo for that action to help with 'tired fingers'.

Have you tried telling it to start Full Screen in the emulator itself?  Although if you're having to move it from the monitors it loads up on, I suppose this doesn't help. 😊

If this script is in your Running Script section of your RPCS3 emulator you setup in LaunchBox, it will work in BigBox as well.  You may need to make some adjustments at the top of your script to allow time for RPCS3 to fully load before moving and resizing.  Can you share what your script looks like?

You were right about pressing the buttons in order that fixed my issue there.

I tried the start game in fullscreen but it won't move it to the 2nd monitor. It will only move it if I have it in windowed mode. I also have the Exit RCPS3 when process finishes checked. If I could find a way to replace WinMaximize to make it full screen that problem would be solved.

This is the script I put together. I finally found out that I needed to change the sleep time to 6 seconds to give it enough time to load in Bigbox because for some reason Bigbox is much slower at launching games.

#NoEnv
 Sleep, 6000    ;wait 6 seconds
 Send #+{Right}  ;Send Win+Shift+Right
 Sleep, 1000    ;wait 1
 WinActive("A") ;grab the currently active window
 WinMaximize    ;maximize the currently active window
 Return
 

$ESC::
 {    
    SetTitleMatchMode, 2
    WinWaitActive, RPCS3
    Send !{f4}                
}

Let the script figure out how long to wait.  

WinWaitActive, ahk_exe rpcs3.exe
Send #+{Right}  ;Send Win+Shift+Right
WinMaximize, ahk_exe rpcs3.exe

Then you shouldn't need the Esc routine.  (removed above)

Awesome I didnt know I could do that! Can I replace WinMaximize with Send Alt+Enter to make the window fullscreen? I'm not sure what the proper syntax is.

Absolutely.

WinWaitActive, ahk_exe rpcs3.exe
Send #+{Right}  ;Send Win+Shift+Right
Send, !{Enter}  ;Send Alt+Enter

Thanks so much I didn't realize the syntax was !{Enter} but now everything works great and is seamless!
