Operate GameEx directly with MCE remote

[midget35]

Hi,

I've adapted an anonymous AHK script to start / exit GameEx whenever you press the TV button on the MCE remote.

Disclaimer: as far as I know, the TV btn for this remote has no use on most media PCs, and is superfluous. Also - you use this program at your own risk.

Please note:

* GameEx.exe must be in dir: C:\Program Files\GameEx (source attached for editing yourself)

* Only tested with Vista 32

* Only tested using this remote: http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/windows/20...hics/fig-21.jpg

* Having this exe run in the background is not resource intensive

How to get it working:

- Download the attached zip file

- Copy the files AutoHotKeyRemote.dll and customeRemote.exe into a PERMENANT folder in a directory of your choice

- Copy a shortcut of customRemote.exe into the Programs > Startup folder (so the exe runs each time computer's started)

- Run the exe / restart computer

*note: to disable customRemote.exe, just right-click the icon in the Quick Launch and chose 'Exit'. To stop the program running at startup, just remove the link from the Startup folder.

Any questions please ask here or email me: www.prawnstarproductions.com.

Finally - big the thanks to the person who wrote the dll & script originally.

1) Not bad dude. I would've given this a shot had I not given up on my MCE rig a long time ago.

2) You should also check out the hacked MCE driver and HiP.. http://www.byremote.com.au/downloads/default.asp?SCLASS=HIP.

3) Your website/company name utterly rules.
