To exit certain programs + Improve Joy2Key usage

[AngelHalo]

I've been contending with some issues I've been wanting to get around but could never figure out nor have the time to fix. Here's a few of them that I hope can be addressed. I should note that I have two fight sticks hooked up and I'd like to minimize the need of a keyboard whenever possible. I also have steam, joy2key, and borderless gaming opened before I run LaunchBox or BigBox. I have autohotkey installed but have yet to find a use for them, especially when it's already integrated in LaunchBox.

Exit certain programs

I've been able to use Joy2Key to close my emulators by assigning the select and start buttons together (button 7 & 8) to press escape. However, not every game is to be emulated, and being able to exit a game is a standard function. You can leave MUGEN by pressing escape a few times (assigned to button 7), and you can leave regular games by simply going down to exit. Some games don't have that function, such as games made using Fighter Maker such as Super Cosplay Wars Ultra, Dongdong never die, Vanguard Princess, etc. Not even a hotkey to close it with a keyboard. Which means I'm in need of a different function to close these sort of games. That also means that I'm forced to leave such games out of LaunchBox until this is resolved, which I am unable to figure out at this time.

Better Joy2Key integration

I am using the associate program with profile feature that Joy2Key has, in which it detects a program, it will move over to a certain profile. Once the program is closed, it will revert back to a certain profile. Sometimes it does not work as intended. I do believe it is possible on a per-game basis, but as a whole (say that I run an emulator), I wouldn't know how to ensure that the program closes. It's fixable, most of the time by simply restarting the program. But I'd like to keep it as consistent as I can. Also, for the per-game basis deal, should I assign joy2key and a profile for that game, is there a way to close it out or at least ensure that it refers to a certain profile?

Closing Dolphin

Using Joy2Key again, I am able to close out PCSX2. Dolphin, when I close it this way, a dialogue box pops up asking if I'm sure if I want to close it. Unless I map one of my buttons to be the enter key, I'd like to know if there's another way to remove that dialogue box without resorting to using a keyboard.

Light-Gun category advice

I am on the fence of ordering a pair of Aimtrek light guns for use with my current machine, and I am considering how to approach assigning certain emulators for the job. I'm sure MAME will work fine, but perhaps a separate emulator with light guns enabled, such as Nestopia, Kega Fusion and SNES9x? I use RetroArch as my default but having separate ones for light gun usage wouldn't be a bad idea, right?

 

That's all I have. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

The dialog box in Dolphin can be shut off in the Dolphin settings go to options configuration and then go to the interface tab and uncheck confirm on stop.
