RetroFE forums

Hi all,
I am trying to get Pinball FX3 to exit using the standard RetroFE method (esc key or start/back on xbox pad).
I can get tables to load using

----------------------------------------------------
executable = emulators\Pinball FX3\Pinball FX3.exe
arguments = -offline -applaunch 442120 -table_"%ITEM_NAME%"
----------------------------------------------------

but cant exit without going through many key presses.
I can get autohotkey & Pinball FX3 to load using the script below but table does not load but I can close using escape.

----------------------------------------------------
executable = emulators\Pinball FX3\ahk.exe
arguments = "FX3 Launcher.ahk"

executable = emulators\Pinball FX3\Pinball FX3.exe
arguments = -offline -applaunch 442120 -table_"%ITEM_NAME%" 
----------------------------------------------------

AHK script
----------------------------------------------------
;AHK.EXE SCRIPT - Pinball FX3
;Use ALT ESC from keyboard to exit FX3.  Also use XBOX Guide Button to exit

#SingleInstance, Force
Run, "Pinball FX3.exe" -offline -applaunch 442120 -class -table_"%ITEM_NAME%""

;Wait while FX3 open and if close manually then exit script
Process, Wait, Pinball FX3.exe
Process, WaitClose, Pinball FX3.exe
ExitApp

esc:: ; (This is a comment:) ESC triggers the following
Send !{f4} ; Simulates the keypress alt+f4
return ; Finished
----------------------------------------------------

Could someone advise on where I am going wrong.

Thanks in advance
Tim

Hello, is it possible to create a bezel-type layout for the Kemulator emulator? For example, create Java games, but when you start the game, the emulator has a black background. I wanted to create a layout just for it.

use rocketlauncher
executable = RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe
arguments = -s "%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%" -r "%ITEM_FILEPATH%" -p "%RETROFE_EXEC_PATH%" RetroFE -f

Hello!,

Can I recreate it and leave it for download?
Now I know how this menu works.

I've been using retrofe as a linux frontend to launch games and other software. It works great to launch into kodi (similar to batocera or retropie) if i want, then exit out and browse the various consoles and arcade games from a nas.  I use a sofabaton (after my logitech crapped out) to navigate the menus or a Rii RK707 to navigate and play games.  or an xbox360 wireless controller with dongle.

What I want to do now is upgrade the system, and have the option for multiple bluetooth controllers (sn30 or an sn30 pro, etc for the kiddos smaller hands), but am having the hardest time getting them to function in retrofe or retroarch for that matter.  if i connect via USB it's fine.

Is this a limitation of sdl2 or linux or both?  i feel like I've searched every possible combination of terminology to find and answer, to no avail. so i figured i'd inquire with the masters to see if there's another answer.

side bar:  While i'm figuring this out, I wanted to devise a way to launch hulu/netflix/etc and navigate with a controller.  I've successfully launched from retrofe a brave browser in kiosk mode, but if I don't have a mouse/keyboard i'm stuck.  Any linux application suggestions are welcome.
