[SOLVED - Pressing both player buttons simultaneously exits game]

Hello, Can anyone help explain why when I press my Player 1 and Player 2 keys, the games exits?  it is like pressing Esc key for some reason.  No AHK is running.  No mapped keys that I know of.  Just does it on its own.  Is it a setting I can change on Windows 10?  Frustrating when your playing and you and the your friend press start and the game exits.  Bummer.

Thanks @moudrost.  I had that just happen with galaxians, as it stopped working when I used the latest version no nag mame.  Had to go back to 1.91 to get it working.
Best!

Nevermind.  Found it.  In case anyone needs it: PSX2 folder, Default Control Setup...

Hi,

I am trying to set up a default profile on PSX2 that all games will use for player 1 and 2 controls, unless I indicate a custom setting using the PSX configurator plugin.

anyone figure this out?

Thanks in advance!

[Gun Survivor 2 Biohazard Code: Veronica Naomi Coins?]

Hello,

Anyone know how to set up the Coin Button on RetroArch for Gun Survivor 2 Biohazard Code: Veronica?

I have the game running (bad flickering), but running.  Cant figure out how to map a coin key to retroarch?  Most of the stuff available is for Mame.

Thanks!

 

[Info on How to use CHD full set]

Apologies for asking a noob question...  I always hear, Get the latest version mame rom fullset! Get the latest version! I'm scared of losing some games is I do so.  So I stay stuck with romset 2.00

Does every Mame Full set have the same amount of games as the previous version?  You are not missing anything that was only in say, Mame romset 1.91?

Thanks in advance!

Great Plugin! Using it now!  Any way to auto skip to next game when it encounters an error?

[BigBox: Pause key stops invoking the pause screen]

Yes, The pause screen only shows up in LB.. In BB, it doesnt show up... just dims the screen and pauses the game.  No cool graphics.

[BigBox: Pause key stops invoking the pause screen]

No biggie to me...  Would have been nice to have it work on both sides.  Thanks.  Was asking in the hopes someone could make some recommendation on how to troubleshoot.

[BigBox: Pause key stops invoking the pause screen]

Yeah. Bummer.... It works on LB (except when on MAME) and never on BB.  Just the regular pause / dim screen. =( 
Might explain why only two pause themes are available.  My Theme is CoinOP

[Demul and Launchbox]

Not sure if you still need it, but here is my solution.  I had the same issue.

1. Open Notepad

2. copy and paste this: demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=put_name_of_the_rom_here     
Do not add the rom extension, only the name of the file (it is CaSe Sensitive)

3. Save as (rom name).bat in the same directory as Demul

4. Test by clicking on the .bat file , it should launch the game

5. If it works, go to LB and point the game to the .bat file. Uncheck Emulator (No Emulator).

Good Luck!

[send Alt F4]

Ok.  Got it solved.  That last thread from LordMonkus was the charm.  Just change the .exe to the one you want to close.  Thanks. 
 

$ESC::WinClose, ahk_exe higan.exe

[Escape from Demul]

Looking in this now:

 

[Escape from Demul]

I am having all kind of "lost focus" issues when I run Demul through BB or LB.  I ran it from LB with the bat and it works great.  I can play the games and never lose Window focus.  Only issue is that I can not seem to get either the .bat or an AHK script to send the ALT+F4 command to close Demul and return to LB or BB.  I am willing to try either but really would love to have it all in one .bat file for each Naomi 2 / Cave / AtomisWave. 

I know LB handles all that and it works fine...until in the middle of a great game of Lupin the third, it jumps to your desktop of a "Game over screen" from LB because it thinks I pressed escape.

Can you help?  Do you know what I am doing incorrect on the sample script above?  Thanks!

[Escape from Demul]

Tried a new one.  No work.   I do know for certain that Alt + F4 does close the Demul emulator like I want.  Just have to find something that sends it. 

demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=cvs2
$Esc::
{
  Send !{F4}
  Return
}

[Escape from Demul]

Hi,  I been mining along the forum, looking for a solution to when you launch a game via .bat to Demul.  Took me a while, but I sorted it out.   I just run it straight via bat file.  Game goes full screen, looks great and no losing of focus during game play on BB or LB.  Damn those gun games look and play great on Demul Naomi! 😃

Simply bat:

demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=cvs2

However, my problem is now closing the window when I escape.  I can't not seem to figure that out.  I tried copying some closing commands from the pre built emulators that sega Naomi and Dreamcast have... but alas....No joy.

 I tried this right below the line above and looks like this:

demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=cvs2
; This section closes Demul when pressing Escape
$Esc::
{
    Send !{F4}
}

Didn't work. =(

Can anyone help me figure out this last piece to my puzzle?  As always, Thanks guys!

[Exiting PSPSSP GOLD on LB and BIGBOX]

Hi,

All credit to: djalmafreestyler .  I wanted to share this in case anyone else had the issue I did with trying to exit from pspssp back to LB or BB.  Set your PAUSE key in PSPSPP to Esc.

Best,

Latin625

For anyone else who may be searching this, I have found how to exit from PPSSPP straight back to LB or BB using a quit button. Make sure you have all your settings correct within PPSSPP. Once you are happy with your settings then configure the "pause menu" in Controls to the button that you want to use to exit the emulator.

[Supermodel compatibility list]

Anyone get this thing to load the rom and launch?  The new Supermodel 3 UI is great, but Im lost on how to get it to load via LB or RL.  I click on a game in LB and it only loads the GUI and does not pick or launch the game.

Is it parameters that need to be added?

Thanks
