Joy to Key batch file?

[amos_82]

Hi guys,

Im using batch files to run pc games with emulators or plugins, its working really well & is for using trainers and plugins. The only problem im having is creating a command which tells 'joyTokey' which profile to load.

Here's the part of the batch file im struggling with:

@echo off

start "" "N:\Games\Joy to Key\JoyToKey.exe"

It loads JoyToKey, but with no profile loaded. Any ideas?

(I know you'll probably tell me to set it the PC games in the emulation section, but humour me anyway. I really like having pc games on the start page.)

Thanks people

No worries; i figured it out

JoyToKey has to be in the same firectory as the game to recognise the mapping profile.

However, it just realised that GameEx doesn't support batch files, Doh! Should have paid more attention in GameEx 101.

Shame though cos you can link as much stuff as you like, i got GTA Vice City running Winamp, JoyToKey, and a camera hack all from little ol batch file.

Who said you can't use batch files in GameEx?

The configuration help text says that you cant use MapKeys to exit a game if it is launched from a batch file. So i set MapKeys to false and left Sendkeys empty, but the game still wont launch, it just returns to the gameex window

Nevermind, i can just launch the batch file from the desktop.

Why not use the AlsoLaunch= option to run your batch file with the joytokey stuff etc? Then have the game running using the usual method of Command=. You can then use MapKeys=True and SendKeys if you wan't too.

Or you could just load joytokey using AlsoLaunch and then kill it after the game is launched using taskkill.

AlsoLaunch=N:\Games\Joy to Key\JoyToKey.exe

LaunchAfter=taskkill.exe /F /IM JoyToKey.exe

Thanks for the help Headkaze, i'll check out the task kill.
