    This program is awesome. Glad I stumbled upon it. Thanks to the
    contributors!

    Question if anyone knows, can you pass any command line parameters to this
    application?

    I know you can set the app to start capturing input on start and preset
    which vXbox device you want connected when it starts.

    What would be nice is if in addition to the other Misc options, that
    minimize on start was a checkbox, and the ability to set these items as
    command line parameters when you launch the application.

    Like virtualcontroller /ci /vxbox2 /min /bind=autosave.bnd

    The above would start the application minimized, capturing input, with
    vxbox controller 2 connected only, using the autosave.bnd configuration.

    I have no idea what others are using this app for, but it works well with
    Hyperspin and an ultimarc ipac2 controller connected to 2 player
    joystick/buttons for games that support keyboard + gamepad for 2 player
    co-op. Sometimes games support 1 keyboard + 1 xbox 360 joystick, then
    others support 2 xbox 360 joysticks.

    It would be nice to load the virtualcontroller application with different
    options depending on the game (then kill it after the game finishes with
    taskkill)

    Thanks again to the developers.

    Thank for feedback. Using command line to change binds is good idea. I try add command line in next updates.

    Currently (included since 1.0.3.0 version) you can use:

    Command line list:
    /vxbox1 - plug in vXbox Device #1
    /vxbox2 - plug in vXbox Device #2
    /vxbox3 - plug in vXbox Device #3
    /vxbox4 - plug in vXbox Device #4
    /minimized - minimized main form
    /loadcontrols <FileName> - load controls from custom file (in folder "Binds")
    /loadoptions <FileName> - load options from custom file (in Root folder)
    /installbus - install virtual bus for vXbox Devices
    /removebus - remove virtual bus
    /capture - begin input capture

    Command order is needed. Most commands don't work after "/capture" command.

    Hi virtualhost,

    Thank you very much for releasing this fantastic program. Is just what I was looking for in order to play PC Games that needs two xbox 360 joysticks with my I-PAC 2 on my arcade cabinet.
    As samsung42 I am also interested into integrate Virtual Controller within HyperSpin with RocketLauncher and it will be very usseful the command line suport already implemented.
    But I would appretiate if you could add a command line for closing the program after exiting games and another one for unplug in vXbox Devices (all they or everyone selectively). Could it be possible?

    In the other hand, could you tell me how to deactivate the pop-up window showed by the program when the keyboard is forced to be locked?

    This warning window stops the script when integrating the program.

    To exit from program you can add the bind:
    Keyboard [Button] [Esc] [Press] => Program [Close]

    To disable warning you must add unlock bind (this message is notification about dead lock - possibility to lose any control):
    Keyboard [Button] [Esc] [Press] => Program [Close]
    OR
    Keyboard [Button] [Esc] [Press] => Program [Keyboard Lock] Off

    Thank you very much VIRTUAL,

    With your information about those binds I got to integrate Virtual Controller within HyperSpin with RocketLauncher for the PC Games system. Hope I'll be able to write a little tutorial on few days. As soon as I write the tutorial I will share it here.

    Thanks Pegafun for taking the time to do the tuorial, I am sure it will help allot of people setting this up to be used.

    Here is a link to download most of the post above translated to english in PDF form, seems to be a decent translation from a quick read through. Any chance Pegafun you can upload and include a link to zippyshare to download any of the files you provided in your forum posting, for those that are not Spanish speaking, so they don't have to register at the forum? I might be wrong but it looks like you included links to download the batch files to start and stop virtual controller? And any chance you might be willing to share your binding files you are currently using?

    Thanks

    Just realized I can include an attachment to this post, not sure if it allows PDF's will try. If it does not work the zippyshare link above has the PDF.

    Hi @virtualhost , its being long time. I have been dealing with VirtualController v1.0.5.1 since two years ago, with very good results. But now i am willing to update the program to current version and my tutorial for the use/integration of VirtualController profiles throught RocketLauncher. Now I'll try to create an script using "User Functions" in order to use the program with any emulator/system/game, and not only with PCLauncher module. Could you tell me if you updated the command line list included since v1.0.3.0?

    Thank you again for your support.
