Install autohotkey v2: https://www.autohotkey.com/\n\n2. Download this repository.\n\n3. For the splash video, install mpv somewhere (https://mpv.io/) and make a note of the install directory. If you don't want the video, you'll need to tweak the script and remove the splash video code (removing the majority of `StartPlayniteFullScreen` except the run command).\n\n4. Edit the `playnite_system_startup.ahk` file and change the variables near the top for your system (`SplashVideo`, `MpvExecutable`, `PlayniteInstallDir`).\n\n5. Double click the `playnite_system_startup.ahk` to test. This will run autohotkey and add an icon to your notification area.\n\n6. If it works, you can make this run at startup by creating a scheduled task in Windows, or by simply adding it to your startup folder. For the latter, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-app-to-run-automatically-at-startup-in-windows-10-150da165-dcd9-7230-517b-cf3c295d89dd.\n\n7. (Optional - recommended) This last step improves the user experience during gaming - if you hold the L3 button during a game (either by gaming or deliberately to show the full screen mode), the experience isn't that great - Playnite doesn't really do much in full screen mode while a game is active, and if anything can cause unexpected behaviour (such as breaking focus of emulated games). To tell the autohotkey script if a game is running or not, you'll need to configure a pre and post script in Playnite. Add the following to Playnite \u003e Settings \u003e Scripts \u003e Execute before starting a game:\n\n```\nStart-Process -FilePath \"\u003cyour-autohotkey-install-path\u003e\\AutoHotkey.exe\" -ArgumentList \"\u003cautohotkey-script-path\u003e\\playnite_pre_game.ahk\"\n```\n\nThen add the next snippet to Playnite \u003e Settings \u003e Scripts \u003e Execute before exiting a game:\n\n```\nStart-Process -FilePath \"\u003cyour-autohotkey-install-path\u003e\\AutoHotkey.exe\" -ArgumentList \"\u003cautohotkey-script-path\u003e\\playnite_post_game.ahk\"\n```\n\n## Ending a game session with LB, RB, Back and Start\n\nAt any time during gameplay, press LB + RB + Back + Start to close the currently active window.\n\n### Disclaimer\n\nThis script was written and tested on Windows 11. This should work in Windows 10 but I've personally not used or tested it there.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falextiley%2Fautohotkey-scripts","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falextiley%2Fautohotkey-scripts","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falextiley%2Fautohotkey-scripts/lists"}
