080 ‐ AppEx setup

AppEx (AppEx\config.json) allows you to configure features provided by APMExtensions for specific games.

Guide

1. Create a folder named AppEx depending on the game type.
   • If it is an APM game (game.bat inside the App folder), place AppEx inside the App folder.
   • If it is a non-APM game (game.bat inside the game directory itself, next to app.json/icon.png etc.), place AppEx next to app.json
2. Create a file named config.json inside AppEx with the following content:

{
  "version": 1,
  "exit": {
    "kill": false,
    "kill_process_name_list": [
      "dummy"
    ]
  },
  "led": {
    "claim": true,
    "block_user_change": false,
    "r": 255,
    "g": 255,
    "b": 255,
    "ignore": false
  }
}

• version: currently always 1
• exit: Settings for closing the game
  • kill: Allow exiting the game by "killing" the game process (equivalent to ending it in Task Manager). Do not add ".exe".
  • kill_process_name_list: The names of all processes that should be terminated when "Exit Game" is pressed.
• led: Cabinet LED settings
  • claim: Claims the LED board. Set this to true only if the game does not use it.
  • block_user_change: If true, the player will be unable to use the "Cabinet Lights" option in the "MORE" menu.
  • ignore: Ignore the r, g, b settings.
  • r, g, b: Color to which the cabinet LEDs should be set to on game start.

Tip
