Sony PSP/PPSSPP - Exit?

[MapleLeaf]

Is there no way to exit out of this emulator with a single button when you're in a game? I've combed through all of the options and looked at their FAQ but I don't even see a mention of this. Right now I'm having to press ESC and manually select "Exit to Menu" and the "Exit" button with my mouse. I'm sure there's a quicker way?

Cool, thanks for that! Does this work for every emulator in LB?

No, it also isnt needed for this one, at least i have NEVER needed to use a script to exit PPSSPP.

Well, for me, not having this stuff in the command line parameters like "--escape-exit" involved a few extra steps in PPSSPP for me to get out of the emulator (involving the use of my mouse). It's nice to be able to press a single key like "ESC" to get back into the LB UI. That's how I want all my emulators to behave when I'm trying to exit them. Though, I doubt I'm gonna get that kinda cooperation from Kega Fusion without dealing with some kinda strange annoying behavior.

You definitely should not need any AHK or even that command line to exit PPSSPP cleanly. The default call to exit a game and close PPSSPP when direclty in it is Alt+F4 and that is one of the commands LB/BB controller automation sends when you bind a key/button to close out the game. If having the command line works then leave it in.

Is there any chance you are running PPSSPP as admin? Although that would not explain why adding the command line works, but worth asking. What version are you running?

Kega Fusion should close cleanly as well without any extras needed. I recently set that up helping someone on the forum and nothing extra was needed.

I don't know if I'm running PPSSPP as an admin? Also, I couldn't find ALT+F4 in PPSSPP as a means to close the emulator completely when I looked through the options yesterday. Maybe I just missed it when I was scan reading through the options. 

Since I run mostly standalone emulators, I find they can use different key presses or a sequence of key presses to exit the emulator entirely and I'd prefer to keep it all uniform and simply use ESC.

Kega Fusion behaves strangely in LaunchBox for me and for others.  When I'm done playing a game, I press ESC and by default this is either supposed to make the emulator full screen or shrink the window of the emulator. Since my game is already full screen, it will shrink the window, but you'll hear an annoying audio loop of whatever game music is currently playing for about 3 seconds. To avoid this you'd need to press SHIFT+TAB to power off the emulator then press ESC.

I also find it strange how when I double click a game in LB or when I load a game from Kega then hit escape, it keeps the emulator window on the screen for 3 or so seconds until the game loads (being picky with this I know). I mostly want to avoid the audio loop that I mentioned -- if it were possible to map SHIFT+TAB+ESCAPE into one bind in that order.

Alt+F4 is not a setting in PPSSPP it is just what the developers set as the key command to close the emulator. If you open PPSSPP and hit Alt+F4 you will see it close. Same with Kega Fusion. "Escape" for Kega is the full screen command so trying to map something to send the keyboard key of "Escape" is going to do exactly as you are seeing.

If you just go into LB and BB and map the buttons or keys to the option for "Exit Game" (In LaunchBox) and "Close Active Window" (In BigBox) it should work fine.

What happens when you map these options is LB/BB will send some of the common commands to the emulator to close it. When you hit the key/button(s) you mapped It will send commands like "Alt+F4", "Ctrl+Q", "Escape" until it finds one that closes the emulator.

Have you mapped either of those options I mentioned above?
