Save/Load state without Pause Menu (AHK)

[DeusX81]

Hi everyone,

I currently disabled Pause Menu on my Launchbox/BigBox because I'm having some issues on my system on getting it works right on several emulators.

So, I would like to know if there is a runtime script to have emulators save/load state by using an AHK script, apart from using Pause Menu features.

For example, I would like to save/load state with a simple combo using gamepad buttons, let's say, if I press Joypad Button 7+9 to save a game state and Button 7+10 to load a game state.

Thanks in advance!

If the 'normal' Save Game State keypress is F2

1Joy9::
   If GetkeyState("Joy7")	
   {
      Send {F2 down}
      Sleep 50
      Send {F2 up}
   }

1Joy10::

   {
      Send {F4 down}
      Sleep 50
      Send {F4 up}
   }

 

On both of these you'll need to press and hold Joy7 FIRST, then the other button (Joy9 or Joy10, respectively).

Copy these into the Running [AutoHotkey] Script section of the emulator(s).
