Launchbox doesn't close certain games....

[Shaun B]

There are a few games that I/people use/play that require a 3rd party launcher, BemaniTools/SpiceTools.

I can link the .bat file to have launchbox open the file, which will open the game - but Launchbox isn’t able to close the game, to return to the launcher.

Others who use this 3rd party launcher also run into the same problem. 

I can provide the game/setup to help, lol…

How are you attempting to close the game launched this way?

[Shaun B]

Via the shortcuts that you can key/bind in Launchbox. Yet, once the game opens, all shortcuts in Launchbox seem to not be recognized and only the games keys/shortcuts are only recognized by the workstation/computer - even though Launchbox is still running (in the background)

Which key binding are you using? What is the name of the binding in LaunchBox or Big Box that you are trying to use that doesn’t work? I ask because the “Close Active Window” binding last I knew doesn’t pay any attention to whether the active process is the game or not and should close whatever's currently open. Before starting to replicate I need to make sure I’m testing the correct binding.

Had to go back as there were multiple options.
I see there is ‘Exit Games’ under controller mapping under Launchbox
'Close Active Window' via the keyboard and controller on Big Box.

None of these options work for these games. But, messing around with it - this game and a few others like it have their own key binding program that the game references when it loads. Maybe this is why Big Box Controls, don’t register when the game loads, including exit game.
