Title: Demul ahk help
Post by: clockman on April 11, 2020, 06:26:05 AM

So when i launch Demul emulator it launches to the game and plays fine. My problem is when it launches it shows the emulator in a liitle box before it goes to full screen. I have a script to hide it. It works on maximusarcade frontend but maximus has a feture to launch applicatios before roms launch. How would i launch this ahk file before the game launches? Is there a easy way?
Here is the script!
Gui, +ToolWindow -Caption +AlwaysOnTop
Gui, Color, 000000
Gui, Show, w%A_ScreenWidth%  h%A_ScreenHeight%, Black Gui
SetTimer, GuiClose, 5000 return

is AHK autohotkey?
I'm not using autohotkey. but autoit (it seems similar).

Have a look at here (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=503.msg4231#msg4231) (Section : OpenBOR).
Similar problem. I have compiled the script to .exe and use cmd with two .exe files

Or have a look at the following thread (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=3340.0)
