It may sound silly but try adding @ECHO OFF at the start of the batch file and see if this helps.
If I recall I spent counless hours in the past trying to get batch files to launch and starting the batch file with @ECHO OFF seemed to do the trick.

I use a PS4 controller. You don't need any software/drivers as long as you have bluetooth capabilities in your PC. It is also plug n play via USB. I did however purchase the official Sony wireless adaptor as it seemed to have a more stable connection and longer range plus you can use the audio feature, however it isn't worth the cost in my opinion. You can also use DS4Windows. It has the added benefits of being able to map the DS4 touchpad as a mouse and use the DS4 controller as an xbox controller.

Oh, and it works very well!

I don't actually use Stella but I do use the Stella core for Retroarch. If it helps this is what I use in my launcher:

executable = E:\Emulators\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
arguments = -L E:\Emulators\RetroArch\cores\stella_libretro.dll "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"

I seem to be having problems with launchers per game for Amiga.
I am trying to create a separate launcher for Super Street Fighter II Turbo as the whdload lha/zip contains illegal characters that windows doesn't like.
The simplest method I could come up with other than installing through amiga workbench was using fs-uae and OpenRetro Game Database UUID.

The command line for this game should be 'fs-uae-launcher.exe 126f259e-6b5c-5438-a293-81b879969dc4'

I have created a .conf file

E:\RetroFE\collections\Commodore Amiga\launchers\Super Street Fighter II Turbo (AGA).conf
which contains:-

executable = C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
arguments = cmd.exe /C "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"


and a batch file

E:\RetroFE\collections\Commodore Amiga\roms\Super Street Fighter II Turbo (AGA).bat
which contains:-

@echo off
E:\Emulators\fs-uae\Programs\Windows\x86-64\fs-uae-launcher.exe 126f259e-6b5c-5438-a293-81b879969dc4

However, when I try to launch the game I get this error message in the log file

[2017-03-04 01:05:07] [ERROR] [Launcher] Failed to find launcher executable (launcher: executable = C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe executable: )

If I try to launch the batch file manually it works fine, so I don't think there is a problem with that, so I am guessing there must be something wrong with my .conf file.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I have spent hours trying to get it to work with no joy.

- R2/L2 = Letter Up / Down. Reason: I couldn't find the buttons for R2/L2. Without DS4Windows it's joy0Button6 and joy-Button7, but with it they're detected as Share and Options.

This is joy0Axis2- and joy0Axis2+ but Axis2- doesn't play nice. You have to hold the button down to stop it continuously scrolling. Tried changing dead zone without any luck

- Left Stick = Move (left, right). Reason: adding joy0XAxis0- and joy0XAxis0+ makes everything stop working.

I think this should be joy0Axis0- and not joy0XAxis0- also joy0Axis0+ and not joy0XAxis0+

- PS Button = Exit. Reason: I couldn't find the button for it. Withoout DS4Windows it's joy0Button12, but not anymore. I tried all buttons up to joy0Button20, so I gave up.

I don't think the PS button works anymore because it is now emulating the Xbox button. In windows 10 it activates the gamebar

Hi firewater,
looking at your last post you still seem to have joy0Axis0- and joy0Axis0+ used twice

I have been doing a bit of playing around with the DS4 controller. I have been using it via the official PS USB wireless adaptor for some time and RetroFE seems to work fine other than randomly doing the spinning thing when skipping letter. I have tried it using DS4Windows v1.4.52 and if 'Hide DS4 Controller' isn't checked under settings tab of DS4Windows then RetroFE crashes at start up. If 'Hide DS4 Controller' is checked then RetroFE seems to work OK. Just to add, I am running Windows 10 Pro x64.

Check that 'Hide DS4 Controller' is checked under the settings tab of DS4Windows. I think that may cause issues if it isn't.
