PCSX2 1.0 unable to close

Hello,

I've been trying for almost 5 hours now to make gameex close pcsx2 1.0 in order to go back to the frontend.

I just don't know what to try anymore. Please help me. At this point ANY solution is legit, so don't be shy.

I Have setup everything correctly in the Setup Wizard and the emulator does start and loads up the .iso. I can play the game and all is fine. But as soon as I hit escape the game stops but the PCSx2 Window stays open.

Normaly the "Map Keys" option under Emulator Setup should map the esc key to close the process of the emulator. But that doesn't work.

So I tried to turn it off and use the Advanced Config [Mapping OFF] Exit (Alt+F4) but that doesn't work either.

Then I tried the "Keys to send" but guess what it didn't work.

All I need is a f****** alt + f4 at the right time, but I just can't get.

I tried to use the --nogui command line and when I use that, it does not open such a PCSX2 window at all. But when i close the game by pressing ESC, the process pcsx2-r5350.exe stays alive in the background and that prevents gameex to go back to the frontend again.

So I tried to create a batch script "taskkill /IM pcsx2-r5350.exe"

and confirmed that it is working outside of Gameex. But when I used the "Launch After" field to execute the script after the emulator is closed it still didn't work.

Same goes for an AutoIt script. I compiled an .exe file and confirmed that it was working outside of gameex.

When I switch on the Debug Mode I can see that the script is being executed even before I hit the ESC button. Is this a bug or something?

What the hell is going on. Please help me!

Here is my emulator config

You might want to provide a copy of your log.txt so we may be of further help. Have you tried adding the /T parameter in your taskkill bat file? I do not use the emulator you are trying to get to work correctly on exit, but I am curious if there may not be a child process invoked. Also, a timeout command might also prove useful prior to the execution of the taskkill.

I used the /T parameter and found out that there actually is a child process involved. You can see that when you pause the batch script. But unfortunately it didn't help.

Again: Why do I see the batch script being executed even BEFORE I press escape? I can see that in the Debug Mode when the batch pauses:

This is what I see even before the game starts.

Now when I press a Button the game starts. Then I press ESC to exit the game and I get the following

Now I have to press Alt+F4 or click on the close button in order to close PCSX2 and get back into my frontend.

Here is my log.txt

You may want to zip your batch files and upload them here as well. I am no guru when it comes to this, but we have quite a few that may understand better and be of further assistance.

I wouldn't use bat files as they are not needed. Just use an advanced config to watch for the given processes and it should work just fine.

Also try your bat file another way:

start "" "D:\Arcade\PCSX2 1.0.0\closepcsx2.bat"
