So I guess what I would need to do is make an AHK script or bat file that somehow reads what the last played game is and then tells GameEx to boot it up. Is that even possible, or would the script have to launch the game itself?

Yeah, obviously I could just use the last played list, but what I'm interested in here is the novelty of the PC transparently booting into the game I'm currently working on without having to press anything or ever seeing the frontend. It's a pretty superficial need, but it would be really cool.

It would be really nice to have GameEx boot right into the last game I've played, but I don't even know if this is possible. I imagine if it's not built into the features, there must be some way I can hack it together. Thanks for any help!

I forgot to post this in here:

Is that any different than clicking on the properties of the drive, going to the autoplay tab, and selecting "do nothing"?

I'm using Daemon Tools to mount Sega Saturn images before launching SSF, but I'm having some problems with Guardian Heroes. For whatever reason, when I mount the mdf/mds, and explorer window opens showing all of the files in the directory despite the fact that I have the settings of the drive set to do nothing and not even ask me when a disc is inserted. When I mount Panzer Dragoon Zwei, as a bin/cue, this doesn't happen (nothing happens at all, which is how I want it). So I tried converting Guardian Heroes to a bin/cue thinking maybe the format was the problem, but even then Guardian Heroes comes up with an explorer window when it's mounted. The problem is that this sometimes gets in the way and takes the focus away from SSF. Any ideas how to keep it from popping up?

Sega Saturn - SSF (this unfortunately does not have low res support so I have to run it line doubled with scanlines, but that still looks decent) Sega Genesis - Kega Fusion NES - NEStopia SNES - ZSNES Sin & Punishment - Project64 Arcade - Mame .129u2 w/ hi-score Online SFIII3S - FBA/GGPO

To be honest, I don't really care so much about the theme in the low res vertical one. This works just fine, but thanks for the tip!

Problem Solved! I was using the ArcadeVGA Low-res theme. This theme is apparently NOT low res. I had to switch to the GameLauncher theme to get it to actually boot into the proper low resolution I specified.

I figured out why it's rolling. It's trying to switch to 640x288, which I haven't fixed yet and it rolls across the screen), instead of going to the specified 321x240. I thought maybe this was because I didn't have Arcade Mode set to on, but I turned it on, and it's still not going to the proper resolution. Here's my current ini and log. log.txt

Here is the log and ini when the deskop is in 640x480, I use the launcher script to set the desktop to 321x240 and boot the vertical version of GameEx, everything is fine, I start up Galaga88, quit, and when I get back into GameEx, it's in 640x480 (and this time it was also illegible although sometimes when I come back it's legible, just tucked into one corner). log.txt

edit: Got it to work. The semicolons at the end of the Process, close line were messing it up.

That's the entire kill script. The JoystickMouse one is sort of irrelevant because it's working properly.

Well it'd be just as easy to have a separate "run on exit" script that just kills everything. The problem is that the script isn't killing anything. The WinClose and Process, close commands aren't actually closing the programs. for the record, I don't want the kill script sticking around. It runs, kills everything, goes away. The joystickmouse/alt+enter script sticks around just fine, so that's not a problem.

How would I make it cleaner so that it's both at the same time. The & only works for keyboard keys unfortunately. It's not even doing that. I kind of was expecting that it would stay resident without the ExitApp function, but I don't want it resident. I want it to run once and kill everything, and then close itself. It's just not killing them at all. (and those are the exe names as they appear in the task manager) I also tried the WinClose command and that didn't work either.
