| |
| |summary=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.
| |
| |steps=
| |
| # Download '''QRes.exe''' (no install needed) and place it wherever you like. ([https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/qres.html QRes download])
| |
| # In LaunchBox: '''Tools → Manage Emulators → TeknoParrot → Running Script'''.
| |
| # Paste the AHK below and '''update the path''' to your QRes.exe.
| |
| # Adjust refresh rate: change <code>/r:240</code> to match your monitor (240/165/144/120/60).
| |
| # Launch '''Luigi’s Mansion'''. The script waits for <code>VACUUM.exe</code>, switches to 1920×1080 while the game runs, then restores 3840×2160 when it exits.
| |
| |notes=
| |
| * If scaling looks off, set Windows display scaling to '''100%'''.
| |
| * Paths with spaces are fine—keep the quotes around the QRes.exe path.
| |
| * To use for other games, change the process name and target resolution.

| |affected=RS3 Reapers (MAMEHooker; possibly HOTR scripts—untested)
| |
| |summary=If your RS3s suddenly “swap” functions (e.g., Gun 1 recoils Gun 2 or both fire together), run this reset flow to re-establish correct player mapping and stability.
| |
| |steps=
| |
| | |
| | |
| # '''Reboot''' the PC.
| |
| # Open <code>LaunchBox\Emulators\DemulShooter</code> and confirm mapping (Gun 1 → Player 1, Gun 2 → Player 2).
| |
| # In your '''Tools''' folder, open the gun software and re-configure each gun.
| |
| # Run '''Set emulator to MAMEHooker''' script '''as Administrator'''.
| |
| # Run '''Config guns for RS3 Reapers''' script '''as Administrator'''.
| |
| # Launch your front end (LaunchBox/BigBox) and test—behavior should be back to normal.
| |
| |notes=
| |
| * Do '''not''' have LaunchBox/BigBox open while doing the steps.
| |
| * HOTR may work with the same sequence if you run its scripts instead ('''untested''' by the author).
| |
| * For consistent results:
| |
| ** Add AV exclusions for the download location and temp folder (AV can quarantine files mid-download).
| |
| ** Add an AV exclusion for the drive root or scripts may be blocked when they run.
| |
| ** Ensure COM ports are fixed and survive reboots; power on in a consistent order (PC first, then the USB hub) with '''both''' guns attached.
| |
| ** Keep both guns connected during boot and scripting to avoid mix-ups.
