Close EPSXE in BigBox

[Drtruffles]

I am losing my mind trying to get this to work. How do I close epsxe with controller input?

Running lilypad because I needed to disable the exit confirmation message. 

Retroarch either doesnt work or runs extremely slow or out of sync so not an option. 

Epsxe is the only emulator that runs smoothly but the only way to close is escape key and I dont want to open up my cabinet everytime I want to close a game. 

Also tried antimicroportable which works but needs to always be running which doesnt work with the way bigbox is configured into my pc startup.

Paste this into the Auto Hotkey tab under manage emulators.

; This section closes Demul when pressing Escape
$Esc::
{
    Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}}
}

That only works for keyboard, doesnt do anything for using joystick

Nope, the controller automation in Bigbox sends the escape key to exit emulators, that AHK scrips will therefore send escape to epcsxe when you exit with your controller automation.

But controller automation doesnt work with epsxe

Controller automation works with any emulator you have added to Launchbox. You just need to add that script in this case as not all emulators will close correctly.

I already had automation and the ahk both set up. They do not work. 

 

Automation works with other emulators

Escape key works with espxe 

Controller automation does not work

It works fine, if it is not for you then you are doing something wrong.

Works fine here. I have LB mapped to use Start + Select. Start is the hold button and Select is the exit hook. Disregard "return" in the code it is a remnant from another AHK I was messing with.

Are you using 9.5 of launchbox and 2.05 of espxe? Mine has the same stuff, doesnt work

[Drtruffles]

heres a video. Automation closes everything else but need to use escape key for ps1. Automation does jack for ps1

I just reinstalled ePSXe 2.0.5 here and tested the AHK script, it works, ePSXe closes down cleanly using Select + Start on my controller.
