[RESOLVED] Trouble in "Launching After" in Setup Wizard

[thurmansevolution]

Hello!

I'm having a little trouble in getting GameEx to launch a batch file (in the Advance Emulators Section) after a game exits.

Can someone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Best to export your emulator config when troubleshooting an emulator. Also where is the bat file? Is Killbutton.ahk.exe what you mean to launch? What are the details of this file?

Hello and thanks for the fast response!

When ya say "Emulator Config" - are ya talking about the advance config located in C:\GameEx\Config?

Currently, I have a batch file and 2 ahk files in one folder. One of the ahk files (killbutton) is used so I can exit the emulator and return to GameEx in the emulators in which I can't customize the escape button. The other is for the music videos (toggling full screen and exiting). The batch file is used for killing the process of the two ahk files. I noticed the other day that GameEx would run the ahk files, but it seems like its having a little trouble in closing them. This becomes a slight issue when wanting to play another game from the same emulator, or another emulator in which opens the same ahk file (a window pops up asking if I wan't to replace the scripts. It's not really a problem..it doesn't mess up GameEx or anything...but it is a little bit of an eyesore if I want to hide windows as much as I can)

In the config file, here is where it's located:

Try:

Start "" "H:\Users\BoxOAwesome\Documents\MAME FINALE MOVE\Scripts\killswitch.bat"

[thurmansevolution]

Thanks a million!! It worked great!!

The thing that threw me off a little is that I tried something like that before, but dismissed it without running GameEx because of what it said in the "verify paths" in setup - that it didn't exist.

...Learn something new everyday lol

Good deal! Enjoy!

For your AHK script you can use #SingleInstance, Force OR #SingleInstance, Ignore to keep it from asking you if you want to replace the existing script.

Cool!!! I'll give it a shot. Do I enter this in the beginning or end of the script...lol, kinda still a noo-b at autohotkey

I don't think it matters, but as a general rule put it goes at the top.

Cool! Worked like a charm - thanks!!!
