correct. my actual arcade cabinet with usb keyboard and I-pac encoder In the 2nd video, i clicked on it manually with my mouse. i was just showing you it has the same results whether im in launchbox or not The set Key delay was already at the top. I just forgot to copy that part by accident. the results are the recent videos above.

@JoeViking245@skizzosjtafter adding that script results 2.mp4 I added that msg box on another script, a little box comes in the middle of the screen saying all the msgs i typed. But it appeared behind launchbox even though i have startup disabled and alt and enters and directions went all over the place except for keyboard splitter. Here Is Me running the script and waiting W/O Launchbox involved. results 3.mp4 Still Not grabbing.

@JoeViking245 I Still don't understand what this means.... Or how i would begin to type this Yes the window is in focus. Its the active window. I added that winactivate thing u said. Hope i typed and placed it correctly. The shortcut is named Keyboard Splitter TMNT This Is What my Active And Non Active Window Looks Like After Adding That Line, this is the video results.mp4 I can press the keys manually. it just wont work automatically

@JoeViking245@skizzosjt wondering if u could help me with one more thing....I created the script for a practice fun for use on my pc and i just transitioned over to my actual arcade. Im now running the script and it works the same bc i see it moving on a notepad. But i cant get it to focus on the program. even though the window is in focus. i changed the script at the beginning and extended the length it takes to begin and still nothing. the script runs and dissapears like its supposed to but it doesnt make the movements. works on other windows like notepad, browser, File explorer, etc My keyboard works fine and i can do the movements manually.....just cant get it to focus on the keyboard splitter program, even though its in focus. i disable startup also. i couldnt find this. the script is working the same though. its even doing the alt +F4 at the end on other windows. Just Not that window. Sample.mp4 as u can see it focuses on other windows just not that one.

So Here is the Script at the end. Thank You guys.

BTW, this is a perfect way to make games like SOR 4, TMNT shredders revenge, Etc work with keyboard controls for an arcade setting Thank you very much @JoeViking245 and @skizzosjt! u guys are wonderful. @JoeViking245 thank you for helping me simplify my script. I did'nt know u could add a 4 beside the direction prompt! Skizzosjt Suggestion WIth Joe Viking Script Result.mp4 Skizzosjt Suggestion With JoeViking245 Script Result

@JoeViking245 Script results: i changed the 1000 to 3000 to give it more time. didnt know if i needed to add a comma to the sleep 1000 and sleep 2000 so i made a script with the commas and without.

Hello Guys. Sorry If I Broke The topic but Im Using The MelonDS Emulator and i can't for the life of me get it to go in fullscreen by pasting the below script in running autohotkey Script. Usually i dont have this problem and it usually works but it will not for MelonDs... this is the script i use currently....... Sleep, 5000 Send, {F11} Or I Use Sleep, 5000 Send, !{Enter} It Wont Work Tho.... I even disabled startup screen An Alternative I thought about is getting an AHK script to wait 5 Seconds then Hold Alt and then pressing enter. Pressing Either Hotkey I change It to whether it is Alt+Enter Or F11, it works when i manually press it with my fingers, But It Does Not Work at all By Script. Please Help. heres the video of whats happening and screenshot of settings. and the video. Melon Video.mp4 Emulator Settings
