wmcmahon Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Hey there, I'm trying to launch a game using a batch file. When I do it within Launchbox everything is fine, batch file run, then emulator starts on top in full screen. However, when I launch the file via BigBox, it seems to start OK, but then Windows switches to the cmd prompt and the emulator is no longer full screen, so I often have to alt-tab back to the emulator and alt+enter to make it full screen again. Any ideas? I'm running demul running naomi. The reason for the batch file is to change the control bindings by replacing the INI file before launching the emulator.

JoeViking245 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I see a couple of options. You could create a shortcut to the batch file. Then right-click the shortcut and select Properties. In there, set Run: to Minimized. Then point your game to the shortcut instead of the actual batch file. Alternately, have a batch file that [only] replaces the ini file and set the game to launch with DEmul as normal. Next, add an Additional App to the game that will run this batch file Before Main Application and check the box Wait for exit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmcmahon Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Thanks, I'll try those things next time I'm at my arcade. I think both of those solutions are great for what I need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
