Joy2key question

[Megaman]

My cabinet will be done tomorrow and i want to purchase bigbox but have a question. I'm using zero delay gamepad encoders and i want to setup pc games, but my old pc games only use keyboard presses. So is there a feature to launch joy2key when i start a pc game in bigbox then close it when i exit the pc game?

You can do this by using the Additional Apps feature in LaunchBox's game edit window.
Set up one Additional App to run your profile before the game, and a second one to close your profiler after the game is exited.
I don't use Joy2Key myself, I use XPadder, but here are my Additional Apps just to show an example.

Thanks @spycat, I downloaded Xpadder and assigned my F12 key to the Select button on my pad to exit Streets of Rage Remake. However, do you know if it is possible to make the F12 key a button combo on my pad? I'd like to use Start + Select to exit as this is what I use for all my other games in LaunchBox and it is less likely that a second player would press it by mistake (I have button mashing friends).

Here is a nice link from this forum that showed me how to get combo keys in Xpadder:

this is a great help thanks.  However I couldn't get it to close the program after exiting.  I'm using joytokey but followed the same instructions are the command line parameters required?  and if so do I just type /c ?
