I cannot exit Demul using ATOMISWAVE - help?

[DOS76]

The only reason I suggested using Alt+F4 is that is the natural key press that the emulator uses and it closes it cleanly I don't no about with using winclose but with the end process command it wouldn't save any changes I made to the emulator when exiting.

[tallpr24]

i deleted everything and just put ESC::
 Send !{f4}

but i still cannot exit from gamepad

[DOS76]

did you set the key in the LB or BB controller settings?

 

[JoeViking245]

Putting in the code where it was suggested, if you hit Escape on the keyboard, does it close?

[Retro808]

Did you map your controller buttons for "Exit Game" in LB and "Close Active Window" BB?

[tallpr24]

yes, currently i have it set that when i hit select and start on my controller it exits out of the emulator, or retro arch. works good just not for demul.

Use the code @DOS76 gave you and place it in the Running AHK. Delete the Alt+F4 code. Then test and make sure it works hitting the Escape key on your keyboard. Then try the controller. In Launchbox what # button does it say your Start and Select buttons are?

$Esc::
{
        WinClose, ahk_exe demul.exe
}

$Esc::
{
        WinClose, ahk_exe demul.exe
}

[tallpr24]

this works with my escape key on keyboard,  to answer your question about exiting , its set to button 7 and 8 at the same time

$Esc::
{
        WinClose, ahk_exe demul.exe
}

@tallpr24 From your early posts (now that I've read them all), it sounds like closing the emulator was not an issue as you were able to hit Esc and it closed.  The issue sounds to be with mapping your controller.

If pressing Esc closes it, don't mess with that part any more.  Look into the controller mapping.  As stated, LaunchBox and BigBox have separate places where you need to map to them.

got it, but my escape from game pad works on all of my emulators including retro arch, dolphin, cemu, citra, just this one , it wont work work with demul

I've never used demul and am not familiar with it.  It just seems odd that Esc from the keyboard works but not via the controller.

Just looking, RA and Dolphin don't need scripts to close.  

Look for a setting or command line parameter for demul for exiting with Esc.  That's all I can think of.

[DOS76]

I just set it up as I hadn't had the AHK in there before and it worked for me no issues.

[DOS76]

Using the winclose script.

[tallpr24]

wonder if its because im using an older version of demul

 

[tallpr24]

this version i have seems to be the only one that works with the rom set i have

[DOS76]

yeah I have the most recent version of Demul and I'm using the files from my current MAME set

If you start up demul outside launchbox does escape exit demul? 

 

Go to Launchbox/autohotkey directory, right click on autohotkey.exe, compatibility, run as admin.

 

Change ur running autohotkey script to

Joy7::

{

      

WinGetActiveTitle, WindowTitle
	WinGet, PName, ProcessName, %WindowTitle%
	Process, Close, %PName%

}

 

Start a game in LB, press button 7 (select on 360 controller)

If you have multiple controllers, press button 7 on all controllers

 

Does demul close?

 

If not, is demul in full screen, if yes and it has the option of windowed mode. Set it to windowed mode and try again.

 

If not, not sure there's much else u can do.
