Help with exiting emulators with game controller gracefully.

[dl71]

I am a noob. I have launchbox free setup with several emulators and roms. Everything works fine till I want to exit the game and return to launchbox. The only way I can do it is with a keyboard. I want to be able to do it with an xbox controller. I have read some about autohotkey scripts but I most be doing it wrong because everything I tried didn't do anything. Could someone walk me through the process how it is done in simple terms. I really like to get cemu, duckstation, project64, and dolphin to exit with game controller gracefully. Thanks for any help in advance.

Finally figured it out after several hours of research. Now using the script below in running scripts per emulator settings and working fine with xbox controller.

 

Joy7::
If GetKeyState("Joy8")
{
   SetKeyDelay, -1, 110
   WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}
}

Return

Hope this helps  someone else
