ShadPS4 with shadPS4QtLauncher in Launchbox doesnt work

[trueanimus]

 As the title says, i switched to the newest nightly build of Shadps4 which has to be launched with the shadPS4QtLauncher and it doesnt work via launchbox. Any ideas?

btw the games load and run fine if i launch them from inside the frontend of the emulator... they just dont do anything if you launch them via launchbox....  Ive been out of the scene a few months (had cancer surgery in July of last year... they got it all they say, but they did give me a blood infection, i went septic and had to have a drain sewn in and developed a DVT blood clot in my right leg... which im still battling which is why im just now getting back to working on my arcade lol)

ahh  Okay... yeah i had it pointed at the right exe but was missing the -d

 

Okay one last thing,.. to exit the emu with esc i have 

~$Escape::
  {
  Process, Close, shadPS4QtLauncher.exe
  }
Return

 

Doesnt work... suggestions?

You're closing the launcher, not the actual emulator, try ShadPs4.exe instead of shadPS4QtLauncher.exe.

This is the Exit script I use and it works just fine:

$Esc::
{
    Process, Close, ShadPS4.exe
}

Ya know....  Sometimes i guess i get way too deep in debugging stuff and overlook the obvious..
