Hi Joe,
Thanks for your reply. Yes you are spot on. Two AHK files. Listed as games in an settings platform.
One to open x360ce then minimises it so it runs in the background.
Then another to close x360ce.
The reason for this is because my arcade buttons are now mapped as an x360 controller and assigned P1 and P2. There will be certain games that I will use the xbox360 controller, but the xbox controller is assigned P3 and I want the flexibility of being able to choose.
I have this working in the most part already. I have created a link to x360ce as a game in a settings folder which I can now access and run in big box. Although what this does is bring up the application onto my screen. I then use a mouse to close it when I want to switch to the xbox controller, If I'm going from using an Xbox controller to wanting to use the arcade stick again I run the program, which brings up the x360ce window and just minimise.
By closing the x360ce application I can assign player 1 to my xbox controller. The issue is being able to reassign controller numbers as the arcade sticks are p1 and p2 as default.
Hope that made sense and I've not confused you more!
