* If scaling looks off, set Windows display scaling to **100%**. | |||
* Path with spaces is fine—keep the quotes around the QRes.exe path. | |||
* To use this for other games, change the process name and target resolution (see comments in the code). | |||

Auto-switch resolution per game in TeknoParrot with QRes (Luigi’s Mansion example)
Use an AHK “Running Script” in LaunchBox plus QRes.exe to set a game-friendly resolution on launch and restore your native resolution on exit—handy when games won’t go fullscreen or scale correctly.
Stabilize RS3 Reapers when MAMEHooker config drift happens (triggers/recoil crossed)
If your RS3s suddenly “swap” functions (e.g., Gun 1 recoils Gun 2 or both fire together), run this quick reset flow to re-establish correct player mapping and stability.
