brill you have done it! thanks so much all working as it was just got to try and sort out

the prob im having with the playstation games in screensaver.

dont no if thats me and my setup but when screensaver runs a psx game and i click a button

to exit out back to gameex it sort of locks up i can see on the taskbar that the psx emul and the autohotkey script

is still running. when i quit the emul n script it will not go back to gameex

the psx emul n script runs and quit ok when i goto my psx emul and pick a game and then exit it.

any help on this one

It sounds like the script isn't exiting when the emulator quits. GameEx is watching the script, which is still running, so it's still waiting. When you kill the script, GameEx sees that it's time to take over again. Basically, the script needs to be changed to watch the emulator process or GameEx needs to be configured to watch the emulator process and kill the script when the emulator is done. I would personally opt for modifying the script, but either works.

"Also in this release is a new feature for registered users that allows auto exit of a game or application after a period of innactivity."

Cool idea, I'll have to enable this.

hi thanx this is my script... i did post about this befor but ive not had psx running

in screensaver back then so didnt no it was not working

control::b

alt::z

space::m

esc::exitapp

#SingleInstance force

[bkenobi]

So I presume you launch this with "launch also", correct? You might want to watch the process and kill the app when the process closes.

#SingleInstance force
control::b
alt::z
space::m

winwait, psx_emulator_window_title
winwaitclose, psx_emulator_window_title

exitapp

Note: This will only work if the psx emulator has a consistent title that you can watch for. If it doesn't, you will probably want to use the script to launch the emulator so you can get the process ID.
