##Changelog: 2017-07-28 - Created actual C# project to compile C# 6 code. Added BringToFront feature to help prevent emulators from running in the background. 2016-02-16 - Added restore resolution flag. Some emulators do not play nice with big picture mode, and this is an attempt to fix this.

##About QuitBit

QuitBit is a simple, lightweight piece of software designed to act as an intermediary between a frontend and an emulator. A long standing problem with setting up a mouse and keyboard free emulation system is stopping the emulator and returning to the frontend. QuitBit does that, and only that.

##Getting this software

• Download this File- TopQuitBit.cs
• Open up cmd.exe
• Navigate to the folder where you downloaded QuitBit.cs
• Execute the Following- C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /out:QB.exe QuitBit.cs Note that this does not work with v4.0 of the .NET framework, and that you must now compile with the latest version for C# 6!

##Features

• Quits an emulator (or any other program)
• Simple integration into different frontends (ICE, EmulationStation, etc)
• Time argument that requires the button combination to be held for any specified amount of time

##Usage

--load and --buttons are the only arguments that are required. If --controller is not used, it will check every controller plugged into the system.

• Standalone Usage Example

TopQuitBit.exe --buttons=1+2+4 --load=c:\emulators\dolphin\dolphin.exe --t=2000
TopQuitBit.exe --c=2 --b=2+0+1 --load=C:\Emulator Programs\NES\nestopia.exe --params=C:\Roms\Nintendo\Metroid.nes
