Thanks Tom! Give any thought to the hybrid screensaver idea?

[Tom Speirs]

No, was busy using both hands

[Adultery]

Bwa ha ha ha!!! Zzzinggg! LMAO!

[Adultery]

Hey by the way, is there a way to make this rawinputhook.exe interface between xpadder and MAME so I don't have to modify input.c to force Direct Input? Like is it an interpreter?

Since updating to 12.24 I can no longer access the Setup Wizard due to the following, repeating error in the attached image and spoiler below:

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I am unable to advance to the next screen as the error pops up again and will not allow me to advance. I have also performed a full download and install but encounter the same error.

Might have to wait until Ben gets up but try the attached:

SetupWizard.7z

[Draco1962]

Thanks! That seems to have done the trick! What was the problem?

[Krakerman]

Hmm just updated and have no problem here with the setup wizard.

Thanks Tom!

[Tom Speirs]

Thanks! That seems to have done the trick! What was the problem?

It was a bounds checking issue. Ben had made the Setup Wizard resume on the last page when you loaded it again and I dont think it was bounds checking properly. Ive removed that feature anyway as I didnt want it.

[Tom Speirs]

Hey by the way, is there a way to make this rawinputhook.exe interface between xpadder and MAME so I don't have to modify input.c to force Direct Input? Like is it an interpreter?

It can be controleed by sending windows messages to it with .net if you reference copydataclass.dll. I dont see how it could be used with xpadder though.

[Adultery]

So... theoretically it can take a key press (or vkcode), hook the raw input, and pass the key pressed as rawinput right? If so do you do that in your key mapping program too or just to send OK?

IE does Advanced Emulator Configuration use it?

[Tom Speirs]

Thats how it works, yes. No, keys sent to emulators dont do this.

[Adultery]

You know the advanced options for emus. Can the remapping part take advantage of this? My thoughts make sense anyways!

Nevermind. Saw your edit.

So the answer is no. Lol!

Can I get into sending vkcodes with a plugin? I could parse the profile and send it to the hook?

[Tom Speirs]

You could potentially do it with a plugin or app. I can give you the code if you like.

[Adultery]

Sounds like practice!

Lemmie go take a look at xpadder profiles first and see if they're usable. Then we'll see how bad I suck at this! Lol!

[Adultery]

If one might be so kind, when HK gets a sec, could you make it so Setup Wizard gets to the thumbs up screen and I close it can it start over instead of making me go back or press the home key next time I need to go in there?

Or am I just being lazy?

[Tom Speirs]

It should always start at the first page with the current release.

[Adultery]

Gracias!

Now I have nothing else to nit pick about.

[NizZ8]

Sweet! thanks Tom and team!
