Auto-switch resolution per game in TeknoParrot with QRes (Luigi’s Mansion example)

By: DJ_GLiTCH

Date: May 6, 2025

Affects: Windows • TeknoParrot (4K/240Hz 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)

By: ChrisTucker

Date: June 15, 2025

Affects: RS3 Reapers (MAMEHooker; possibly HOTR scripts—untested)

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.
