DJ_GLiTCH Tip: Auto-switch resolution per game (May 6, 2025)
The code is stored in Launchbox emulator settings, under "Running Script" for Teknoparrot.
You'll need QRes.exe to make this work too (download link below). No install required, just copy QRes.exe into a folder you'd like to save it in.
Change the directory path in the code to suit where you have saved QRes.exe
Note: 1: The resolution and refresh rates are tailored to my monitor (4k 240hz). If you have a different refresh rate you want to use across all resolutions, change /r:240 to be what you need (240 = 240hz, 120 = 120hz, 60 = 60hz, etc.). The resolution is self-explanatory, and is in the ChangeResolution(x,y) loop section.
Note 2: I've only populated Luigi's Mansion so far but will add more games later, and will try to make the original resolution and hz more smart (currently I hard code 4k 240hz).
Note 3: If you have any issues, try setting your display scaling to 100%.
#Persistent
; Function to change the resolution
ChangeResolution(width, height) {
RunWait, "C:\xxx\QRes.exe" /x:%width% /y:%height% /c:32 /r:240,,Hide
}
; Run when Luigi's Mansion starts
Loop {
Process, Wait, VACUUM.exe
ChangeResolution(1920, 1080) ; Change to the desired new resolution for the game
Process, WaitClose, VACUUM.exe
ChangeResolution(3840, 2160) ; Restore the original resolution for the monitor
}
ChrisTucker Tip: Stabilize RS3 Reapers config drift (June 15, 2025)
Some tips for peeps with RS3's, who use only mamehooker and who suffer from occasional "config drift" e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scripts instead but that's untested my end
If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):
1: Reboot PC
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun
4: Run "set emulator to mamehooker script" - as administrator
5: Run "config guns for RS3 reapers" script - as administrator Everything should now work if it did before
Pre-requisites
1: Antivirus disabled on download location/including temp folder of zip download (AV can zap stuff as it downloads otherwise)
2: Disable AV for root of drive or it will zap stuff as it runs
3: COM ports setup correctly and settings surviving reboots (you can achieve this by turning things on the same way each time - for me I turn on the PC then the hub once booted with both guns attached - having both guns attached at both times if you have 2x RS3's seems to stop it getting mixed up)
4: Don't do the above with LaunchBox or BigBox open, or it won't work do the above then open the front end I'm getting consistent results with the above and having it stable really shows off how amazing this build is - absolutely love it
Enjoy guys!
