PCSX2 emulator left open after exit? Default scrip no longer works.

[Boomerps2]

The default running script for the current PCSX2 (1.7.4207) no longer works which is:

 

; This section closes PCSX2 when pressing Escape
$Esc::
{
    WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}
}

 

When ESC is pressed to exit, the game closes with the PCSX2 emulator game selection screen left open on top of BigBox which stops BigBox. Pressing ESC a second time is required to close the emulator so BigBox can continue. I tried an alt + F4 script and that doesn't work either. Is there a script that will close the game and the emulator at the same time? Thanks for the help.

See if something in here helps.

I had to add -batch to the PCSX2 command-line parameter's in LB. Fixed it for me.  Also have "Confirm Shutdown" unchecked in PCSX2 Settings.

Can someone walk me through how to do this and then what to push on my controller. I can't seem to get it to work. When i put the -batch line in, the emulator stops loading. I would like to control everything from a controller instead of a keyboard.

Try the Default Command-line Parameters: -nogui.

This assumes you're using PCSX2-qt.  I believe by default, the Confirm Shutdown is checked by default (in PCSX2 Settings).  So make sure that's un-checked.

I understand that. I did that. I don't know how to configure Launchbox to allow me exit PCSX2 mid-game. Don't know how to set it up and don't know the button shortcut on my controller.

Oh.  The thread was about not having the GUI show when exiting PCSX2.

To exit a game using your controller, you need to map the controller button(s) in LaunchBox Premium and [separately] in BigBox.  You can map any button or button combination you like.  Just make sure it's not a button(s) that's assigned to something else.

LaunchBox:  Tools - Options- Game Controllers - Mappings.  Then map to Exit Game.

BigBox:  System Menu - Options - Controller Mappings.  Then map to Close the active Window (Not Exit.  That's to completely exit BigBox).

So if I start up BigBox, pick a PS2 game, play for an hour, decide to play something else, this is how I exit the PS2 game back to BigBox?

Yes. That would be how you exit the game and return to BigBox.  Then just select a different game and play it [for however long] and use the mapped button(s) (again) and return to BigBox.
