[resolved] Joy2key ahk script

[Crabi]

Hi guys,

i'm trying to launch joy2key profile when i start a game from a platform, (same emulator like retroarch for exemple)

 

i did something like that : 

on running Script

DetectHiddenWindows On
if WinExist("JoyToKey")
    Process, Close , joytokey.exe
DetectHiddenWindows Off
sleep, 3000
Run, "D:\HFSBox\Utilities\JoyToKey\JoyToKey.exe" "D:\HFSBox\RocketLauncher\Profiles\JoyToKey\Sony Playstation\Sony Playstation.cfg"

on exit script

DetectHiddenWindows On
if WinExist("JoyToKey")
    Process, Close , joytokey.exe
DetectHiddenWindows Off
sleep, 3000
Run, "D:\HFSBox\Utilities\JoyToKey\JoyToKey.exe" D:\HFSBox\Utilities\JoyToKey\Default.cfg

 

That works manually but not with launchbox/bigbox (it works on running script but not on exit)

Do you have any suggestions ? i'm a bit lost ^^'

Thanks in advance

The Exit Script section is for when exiting the game from the Pause Menu.

Put your exit script portion below what you have already in your Running Script.  You'll need to add a hotkey label for the exit portion.   Esc::  usually works

Why are you using a script?

You can add it as a third app per game and you can use a command line for loading profiles, check my pic :

I made a bat for closing it after quitting a game and I added it as a third app but checking "Run after"

If you need the bat code, here :

@ECHO OFF
taskkill /F /im JoyToKey.exe
@ECHO ON

Thanks you so much, the script now work when i press Esc, but retroarch do not exit now this is weird. Autohotkey seems to take the priority !

You can do it selecting all games with a plugin made by JoeViking245.

It's here on the forum
