DEmul: I'd like to add an exit command to this bat file. (CRTGeomMOD Bezels)

[Bucky]

LB is set to read the bat file, but iit won't respond to the universal escape command I set for the emulator, I wind up having to hit Alt+F4 to exit. Would like to change that!

So far my bat file says this:

cd /d "%~dp0"

IF NOT "%~1"=="" set rom=%~n1

DEL .\reshade-shaders\Textures\bezel.png

copy .\Artwork\naomi\mvsc2u.png .\reshade-shaders\Textures\bezel.png

START nomousy.exe /hide
START /wait Demul07_CRTGeomMOD.exe -run=naomi -rom=mvsc2u
START nomousy.exe

EXIT

I would like to add a line of code that enables me to assign the close/exit command Alt+F4 close to the Esc button.

Batch files cannot detect key presses.  But AutoHotkey scripts can.

It might look something like this:

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
#SingleInstance Force

rom = %1%
FileDelete, .\reshade-shaders\Textures\bezel.png
FileCopy,.\Artwork\naomi\%rom%.png, .\reshade-shaders\Textures\bezel.png

Run, nomousy.exe /hide
RunWait, Demul07_CRTGeomMOD.exe -run=naomi -rom=%1%
Run, nomousy.exe
ExitApp

$Esc::
{
  Send !{F4}
}

Save the file as fileName.ahk

This was created 'quick-and-dirty' and has not been tested.

Yeah, this worked like a beauty! Good shit. Many Thanks!

 

I forgot to ask I'm skimming old posts and it had me wondering... I saw another thread after posting this one indicating Alt+F4 is the same as pushing "End Process". In other words, a violent intrusive way of shutting down the emulator. I thought it was more akin to pushing "X" at the top of the window or File>Exit but then again what do I know

 

Is it true that process is the brutal shutdown method? If so, I'd ask for a script that mimics pushing the X button at the top right of the window or File>Exits

Something tells me that this isn't the case and I could be overthinking it. Please, let me know if this is a normal exit procedure if it is, this issue can be put to bed. Once again, I appreciate the fix!

Alt+F4, File>Exit and clicking the X in the upper right corner all close the app the same [nice] way.

In AHK, Process, Close, program.exe is the brute force method for closing an app. Same as clicking End Process in Task Manager.  There are a few rare cases though that this is necessary.  joytokey.exe is one of them.

Glad it worked and glad I could help.
