I've got everything working now except the context menu will always be on the screen after I load a game and the pause menu won't show even with forceful enabled. Once I exit the game manually it will then show the pause screen open.

Thanks for your testing and patience.  After mulling over the code and trying this, that and the other thing, I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth my time and effort to get it to work.

 

With the advent of "smarter game startup and shutdown screen handling" introduced in LaunchBox v14.0, this plugin is no longer reasonably maintainable (usable?).

Another issue with using this plugin is that game "Play Time" is not properly kept. This was just recently brought to my attention and [in retrospect] has been the case since this plugin was 1st introduced in December 2023.

This leaves you with 3 options:
1) Revert to using LB v13.27.
2) Use an alternate means of applying bezels to emulators that don't natively support them.
3) Don't use bezels.

#1 is not an acceptable solution as you miss out on all the goodness LaunchBox has to offer with subsequent releases.

One possible means for #2 is to use ReShade.

Later I will provide instructions for setting up ReShade that doesn't require it to be "installed" onto your system. A sort of "portable" install, as it were.
