This is a job for the new advanced emulator config option.

If you go into C:\Program Files\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS, you'll see a couple .cfg files for Project 64 and Visual Pinball.

Make a new file, EPSXE.cfg.

I'm removing comments to make it more concise for posting. See the other files for comments on how to use this. I don't have ESPXE installed so I can't test this, but it should work.

Once that's in place, open the GameEx config program and select EPSXE on the advanced config from the drop-down list for your EPSXE emulator section.

I appreciate your help, but it did not work. EPSXE opens 3 windows. when I hit escape it closes the window the shows the graphics. It does not close other parts of the program. I will continue to try. Thanks 4 your help.

Are you using some sort of front end for it? I helped someone get ePSXeCuTor working a while back. Whatever the case, you need to list all the different executables that need to be terminated using your setup.

If you know a key sequence that reliably exits it, you can place it in the KeysToSendOnExit area, too. Either way, the advanced config is what you'll want to use for sure.

What's in that copy.bat file?

ePSXe.exe

I found a program that can send the filename(ROM) to the clipboard. then I have Gameex open EPSxe. After that it pastes the filename to the emulator and presses enter. I am not doing this in the traditional way because of the way I have my plugins configured.

Ooh, that's really clever, I like it!

As for killing the emulator on exit, another thing you could try is putting

taskkill /im epsxe.exe

in the LaunchAfter section. That may kill the remaining running instances.

I found out yesterday Taskkill.exe doesn't seem to come included with XP Home but it does work if you can find a copy of it. Someone has a download link here.

It does'nt want to work as a launch after, but I did add it as a extra application.(taskkill)

as "close epsxe" and it works.

ps.

Here is the program, see if u can make any use of it. I sure did!

Thanks for the link, I'll put that in my collection.

Very strange that Launch After isn't working. You might try GameEx's debug mode to see what's going on. Another possibility is you might put TaskKill in a batch file with a delay (download one of the various sleep utilities) and see if that helps. Maybe something weird is going on; like it's somehow reloading itself.
