1.5.0

• "Command after exit" no longer runs when using EmulationStation's "shutdown" or "restart" options. Windows does not allow enough time for commands to run reliably; use EmulationStation’s own built-in event system for scripts triggered on shutdown or restart.
• Added new menu item "Open EmulationStation events" which opens Windows Explorer with the location to place scripts/shortcuts/programs for triggering.
• Added new menu item "Open RetroBat Runner events" and moved "Command before launch" and "Command after exit" into a sub-menu.
• Updated the copy on the pop-up for RetroBat Runner events to make clear that these will only run if EmulationStation was launched by RetroBat Runner.
• Updated documentation to explain how to use EmulationStation's event system.
• Fixed a bug where video intros over 5 second long would incorrectly trigger a pop-up claiming that EmulationStation did not appear to be launching.
• Fixed a bug where buffered controller presses could mean the video intro is inadvertently skipped before it starts.
• Applied a workaround to correct XInput controllers occasionally being treated as DirectInput, which would stop vibration from working.
• Tray menu cleaned up and reordered.
• Some code tidied up (mainly function naming and global declarations)

1.4.0

• Removed automatic preference for RetroBat-new.exe because RetroBat v7.5.1 no longer uses this executable and doesn’t delete it during upgrades, so RetroBat Runner can’t rely on it being the correct one.
• If "shutdown" or "restart" is used within EmulationStation, RetroBat Runner will attempt to execute any configured "Command after exit" prior to closing.
• Improved ReadMe documentation.

1.3.2

• Added support for RetroBat v7.3 by launching RetroBat-new.exe when the button combo is pressed. Older versions using RetroBat.exe remain supported.

1.3.1

• Added a workaround for the unhelpful and random "invalid memory read/write" error.
• Changed the launch order so that external programs now run before windows are minimised, preventing them from covering RetroBat when it starts.
• Added a menu option to visit the RetroBat Runner website on Github.

1.3.0

• Display a first run message and tooltip to guide new users.
• Enable configuring of a program to run before RetroBat is started.
• Enable configuring of a program to run after EmulationStation has been closed (thanks to tkropp17 for help in debugging)
• Added additional debug logging.
• Reduced CPU usage when idle.
• Updated README.

1.2.0

• Added support for DirectInput and Bluetooth controllers.
• Added support for Switch input mode with 8bitdo controllers.
• Fixed bug where sometimes EmulationStation isn't correctly in focus after being launched.
• After EmulationStation is running, the mouse cursor is now moved away to the top-right and is no longer visible.
• Reduced the CPU usage when EmulationStation is running.
• Increased button timeout from 1 second to 2 seconds to account for slow button presses and/or lag caused by Bluetooth.
• Added command line options /debug (to output a log file) and /test (to open Notepad instead of RetroBat)

1.1.0

• Added option to automatically start with Windows from the system tray.
• Cleaned up the "About" tray menu item
• Tidied up the documentation to focus more on people who just want to use the executable.

1.0.1

• Implemented workaround to resolve an issue where EmulationStation isn't the active window after starting up
• Implemented workaround to resolve a strange issue where the controllers may continue to rumble longer than 1/4 of a second.
• When rumbling is enabled, a sound will also be played.
• README tidied up and now includes specific warning about lack of support for DirectInput controllers.
