[RESOLVED] launch before and launch after

[dudunkle]

Hi,

I have created a executable script for sega genesis with autohotkey for reassign some keys for kega fusion emulator.

I must insert commandâ?? s correct line in gameexâ??s options for configure kega fusion: launch before and launch after for execute the script.

How Can I do?

Thanks.

It it's just an exe then simply just point to it in the launch before/after. If it requires parameters then a little tweaking may need to be done. Since I don't know the details of your script then it's hard to say.

Sometimes this is finicky though so you may need a batch file (specifically if one needs perameters and is in Also Launch)

The script must start before of emulatorâ??s launch, while the script must close when I go out of the emulator.

Which commands must I insert in Launch Before and Launch After?

Thanks.

Just point to the file. There is a button in those settings and when selected the open file dialog opens for you to select a file. So just need to select your scripts.

I have pointed the file in the dialogueâ??s window launch before and launch after. When I start sega genesisâ??s game by gameex, gameexâ??s window disappears by screen. Then on the task bar (low to right ), the script, created with autohotkey, starts.

When the script exe is closed, the game starts with full screen with settings donâ??t modify.

When I push esc, I return in selection menu of the game in gameex and the script exe opens again.

I have only reassign some keys in the script (see attached).

Then I have converted the script in exucutable with the program: Ahk2Exe script to exe converted.

How can I do? Please!

What I don't get about this is that you have the exe set to launch before and after, so what's happening is it's gonna run that script twice instead of closing it when you leave the emu. Is there a reason for this?

The script must start before of emulatorâ??s launch, while the script must close when I go out of the emulator. How can I do?

In the forum I have found this post maybe useful, but I donâ??t know correct command-line to insert in launch before and launch after...

http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=9481&st=0&p=70915&hl=autohotkey&fromsearch=1entry70915

For example, may the command-line resemble to these?

Launch Before:

start "" "E:\Emulation\Emulators\Nestopia v1.40\batch\NestopiaStartup.bat"

Launch After:

start "" "E:\Emulation\Emulators\Nestopia v1.40\batch\NestopiaExit.bat"

Thanks!

I deleted your double post.

It really depends on what you're trying to accomplish and the details of your script. Maybe post your script.

This is the script's contents.

So it's just a simple remap. There's different ways to go about it but I'll just work with what you have.

Try the following please:

Launch Before:

start "" C:\AUTOHOTKEY\megadrive.exe

Launch After

taskkill /f /im megadrive.exe

I have made it like you have say. When I start a sega genesisâ??s game by gameex, gameexâ??s window disappears by screen. The script on the task bar (down to right ), created with autohotkey, starts.

When I close the script exe, the game starts with full screen with settings donâ??t modify.

When I push esc, I return in selection menu of the game in gameex and the script exe doesnâ??t open.

The command-line launch after seems correct , instead the command-line launch before starts the script exe, but the screen doesnâ??t visualize the game started.

How Can I modify the command-lines?

Thanks

Try my post above. I made a small change to the launch before. If this doesn't work then I suggest meeting me in the chat room for real-time support so I can figured out how your system functions.

If the taskkill command doesn't work for you, you might want to give the tskill command a shot. Not sure what OS you're using but taskkill wasn't available in all versions of XP. I'm not sure about the various flavors of Vista, but I think it's available in all versions of Windows 7

taskkill vs. tskill

Good luck!

Try the following please:

Launch Before:

start "" C:\AUTOHOTKEY\megadrive.exe

Launch After:

taskkill /f /im megadrive.exe

It works! Thank you very much!

Can I use these command-lines, if I create another script exe for reassign some keys for other emulators?

For example the command-lines for the emulator zsnes will be:

Before the launch:

start "" C: \ AutoHotKey \ snintendo.exe

After the launch:

taskkill / f / im snintendo.exe

No problem. Marking as resolved. Yes this should work as long as your use the same methods for doing things. Enjoy!
