RetroFE forums

Hey,
I don't know if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong but here is my issue.
I'm trying to launch a steam game within a steam collection. My launcher script is looking like this:

executable = C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
arguments = /c "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"
The game launches fine but the media video still runs in the background so sound can be heard even after launching the game. I suppse RetroFe isn't stopping video playback.
In collection settings I've set my roms to have a .bat extension and the .bat file in roms folder is looking like following:
@echo off
start C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Steam\steamapps\common\Odallus\DATA\Odallus.exe


Here is the relevant log:

This only happens while running Steam bat files, every other collection works fine and the media video stops playing (no sound heard) after launching the game.

Looks nice, thanks for sharing

Great theme.
works fine in lubuntu.
some screenshot.

Sweet screenshots. The theme looks gorgeous without recorded hyperspin videos too. Btw what SNES emulator do you use?

Sure, feel free to add it to download section this should be a definitive version.

I'm currenlty playing Super Ghosts and Ghouls trying to make it to the end with 2 continues. The game is quite a challange.
I remembe playing it on my SNES back in the days. I didn't expect the MAME version is A LOT harder.

You're doing an awesomenjob with RetroFe and the GUI would be a good thing but ironing out bugs is of course first on the list. Take your time, no hurry.
I've setup my controller to work just fine using the prpvided wiki manual (editing axes) althiugh it took me some trial and fail but got the job done. If the OP author didnt manage to get joy2key running then I dont think he has any PC gaming experience. Jo2key is extremly easy to setup.

Long story short.... Just continue to iron out bugs, new features will come along the road
I myself have no coding experience but I'm sure retrofe would profit from more devs.

Well it's sad to hear that but I can understand that people sometimes just want things to work out of the box. I don't like launchbox for many reasons, but I have to give them credit for making thins simple for the average Joe. On the other side, RetroFe could really profit from a basic settings GUI, at least for the simple things like control remap.

Hope to see you back someday mate.
