I have an idea that might work. I can create a AutoHotKey script to Kill AM and restart AM. I then put a button on the cab that runs this script (Hidden and only exposed when replacing control panels. Will test this out later today to see if this works, crossing fingers
I got it to work, more testing is needed, but it seems to work with this AHK script hooked up to a button on my cab to reload AM.
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
;Windows Key + A will run this routine
#a::
Runwait, taskkill /im attract.exe /f
SetWorkingDir, C:\Emulation\FrontEnds\AttractMode
Run, "C:\Emulation\FrontEnds\AttractMode\attract.exe",,,myPID
;Msgbox Pid=%myPID%
Sleep, 750
WinActivate, ahk_pid %myPID%
return
Not sure why I have to have some sleeps in there, but it would not always work without them, any ideas on improving script??
Hope this helps someone else out there who might need to do something similar
Well still not perfect, but much better. I still have to hit Alt-Tab once ever 10 or so times. Any ideas on this one?
