HyperLaunch issue

[azda]

I have an issue when HyperLaunch is set to true that keyboard input 'Q' does not work.

I am using an x-arcade 2 player Joystick which utilises keyboard inputs and the letter Q is used as a button on the 2 player control panel.

Whenever HyperLaunch is used for an EMU this button isnt recognised unless I turn HyperLaunch off.

Hope this makes sense, any help would be appreciated.





This is my AHK script, I was wondering if the issue is because q is wanted by HyperLaunch but then again so is S which works on my joystick. Im stumped!

/*
    *:If for some weird reason the script hangs follow these steps to get back to normal.
      1. If an emulator hangs up or cant load your game then first try to exit the emu
         by pressing your Emulator exit hotkey above.
      2. If your emu exited but your mouse cursor is gone use your cursor toggle hotkey.   
      3. Next try to exit the script by pressing your Exit Script Hotkey above. This 
         will also bring back your cursor and taskbar is they are set to true.

Replace
exitScriptKey = q & s
by
exitScriptKey = ~q & ~s

And see if it solves the problem.

Thanks Brolly ... that did the trick.
Can you explain the issue please ... what does the '~' actually do?

[chillinwater]

"~" allows the keys to be used in other programs\emus while hyperlaunch is active.
Without it the buttons can only be used in script only.
Hyperlaunch Hijacks them and keeps them for itself.

When you play 2 player games the Q & S buttons when pushed at the same time are going to kill Hyperlaunch which will have the effect of a "crash".
So while its good to have "~" in front of your keys its better if you dont use Q & S or any other frequently used keys that are on the Xarcade.

I use
exitscriptkey= ~m & ~n
toggglecursorkey= ~t
but other keys will work too

[azda]

Thanks for the info!

I will ammend to the same as you as Q & S are very close to one another on the X-Arcade!

Thanks again!

Is it possible to use two different buttons for the "exitemulatorkey" funktion? (so or- instead and-funktion)

I´ve tried a trick to use a key from controller 1 or a key from controller 2 but it doesn´t work:

exitEmulatorKey = +

Hotkey, $joy9, Exitemulator1
Hotkey, $2joy9, Exitemulator2

Exitemulator1:
Send, {+}
Return


Exitemulator2:
Send, {+}
Return

[chillinwater]

Somthing like this?:

Hotkey, $joy9, Exitemulator1
Hotkey, $2joy9, Exitemulator1

Exitemulator1:
Send, {+}
Return

and\or for "Exitemulator:"
(should only need one of these lines below "Exitemulator:")

Exitemulator1:

process, close, %executable%
process, close, "actual window name on the taskbar"
winclose, %executable%
winclose, "actual window name on the taskbar"
send, {the}{keys}{that}{close}{the}{emulator} ;i.e. {lalt}{f4} or {esc}

Return
