##Changelog: 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- QuitBit.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

##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

Command	Short Command	Purpose	Example
--buttons	--b	Button combination to close the program	--b=0+8+6
--exec	--e	Full path to the executable	--e=C:\Emulators\nes.exe
--controller	--c	ID of specific controller to use	--c=0
--time	--t	Milliseconds to hold down the combination	--t=2500
--params	--p	Parameters when launching the program	--p=C:\roms\NES\Zelda.nes
--rr	--rr	Restore Resolution

--exec 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

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