Pre/Post Commands

[BloodShed]

With the new version coming along, can we also see pre and post emulator launch options? In other words, the ability to run a command both before launching an emulator and immediately after exiting an emulator.

This would really simplify launching games that either need to be mounted with Daemon Tools or require Xpadder/joy2key without editing an AutoHotKey script.

This may have been requested already but I couldn't find one.

as far as xpadder goes, just add it to the 'startup' options so that it launches when HS starts.

You shouldn't need to launch and close with each emulator, as you can use 1 profile, or you can have it change profiles based on the active program.

I'm already doing that because HyperSpin currently requires it anyway. I'm really looking forward to joystick support in the new version.

The problem is that some emulators or games have unique unmappable controls and require a specific custom profile. Personally, I only need it for a couple of emulators (and HyperSpin atm). nullDC luckily updated their controls driver so it's mappable now but, as an example, I still can't map certain keys like ALT.

For me, my main issue is loading PSX ISOs that I've ripped using the redump method in ePSXe. ePSXe can't load multiple track cue files and I need to mount it as a virtual disc.

I'm not really looking for a work around as I'm already getting around the issue with batch files or AutoHotKey scripts. But adding a pre/post command option to HyperSpin would be a simple change to simplify the process and it's a feature many other frontends already possess.
