davidah Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 So I've used AHK with Launchbox previously but now I'm not having any luck. I've tried *everything* I can think of but my AHK controller script simply doesn't run. Here is the script: Joy7:: If GetKeyState("Joy8") { Send {Escape} } Return #If What I've tried: -Running the program as Administrator -Running the program with Windows 7 (and 8) compatibility mode -Downloaded the latest version of AHK and verified the script works with other programs -Tried attaching the script to both Dolphin and Retroarch in Launchbox (neither work). -Tried simple single button AHK script....nothing -Disconnecting all but a single wireless XBOX 360 controller -Tested in both Launchbox and Bigbox I'm using controller automation as a partial work-around now, but I want to use AHK for more than just exiting the emulator and controller automation is limited in what it can do. Can anyone please help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hi @davidah, we have seen some really unfortunate issues with 360 and Xbox One controller drivers coming from Microsoft lately. I haven't really gotten entirely to the bottom of it, but some renditions of Microsoft's drivers are breaking applications left and right, unfortunately including AutoHotkey. My guess as to what's going on is that your 360 controller drivers just aren't working with AutoHotkey at all, and in some cases we've even seen AutoHotkey completely crash as a result of Microsoft's broken drivers. It's definitely a driver issue. We even had to go so far as to rip out using AutoHotkey for the controller automation stuff and write the whole thing ourselves natively instead, because so many people were having issues. We've worked around all the controller driver bugs for LaunchBox itself, but unfortunately there's not really anything we can do to fix AutoHotkey. It's been pretty frustrating, my apologies for the troubles there; I honestly don't have a good solution there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Although if you're able to use the latest version of AutoHotkey successfully now, it's possible that a new version of AutoHotkey is out that fixes the issue. I'll take a look and see if we can update the included version of AutoHotkey that we use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidah Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Jason Carr Thanks for the response. The current version of autohotkey does seem to work with the emulators directly. If there are logs I can send or anything that would help let me know. Launchbox is an amazing piece of software and I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with next.
