General / Re: How do I launch a shortcut file instead of executable?super resolution retroarch
« on: May 01, 2019, 11:56:39 PM »
@ vdfritz
>general:
AM & .lnk and .bat files here (see section windows_games)
>retroarch:
I'm not working with retroarch. google said that retroarch starts config-files this way (but as I understood the documentation of retroarch, it loads retroarch.cfg automatically?!):
Path_to_Retroarch\retroarch.exe --config "Path_to_your_config_files\your_config_file.cfg
So create each game a .bat-file with your correct config and settings, to launch a game via batch-file.
Create in AM an emulator with this settings (depending on your paths):
executable C:\attract\EMU\RESO\reso.exe
args "[romfilename]" 640 480 8 40
rompath C:\attract\EMU\RESO\Roms
romext .bat
reso.exe supports .exe, .bat, .com
Tested something like this (with zsnes):
"C:\attract\EMU\RESO\reso.exe" "C:\attract\EMU\zsnes\zsnesw.exe -m "C:\attract\EMU\zsnes\ROMS\1.smc"" 640 480 8 40
=> windows crash. So I do not know how to use rese.exe directly.
Maybe you can contact the developer of this software, how to use an application with parameters.

RocketLauncher is not necessary to use AM.
See here starting windows_games via links-files and batch-files.

this is an external script for autoit. maybe it's helpful if you are using windows (thanks to Yashied):
compile it > start it with windows (autostart and so on) > if you press and hold d on keyboard for 3 seconds, it sends ESC. Script loops.
If you want running script only once/don't loop script, then change ;Exit to Exit (remove semicolon).

« on: January 11, 2019, 04:20:28 AM »
I'm using autoit for this.
By pushing SELECT + START + DPAD DOWN + L + R on a snes pad, the process OpenBOR.exe will be closed. (see section OPENBor here)
Source as follows here: ($coord[7] == "240" means the sum of L + R + START + SELECT together / simultaneously pressed (16 + 32 + 128 + 64 = 240 )
(thanks to Ejoc and Adam1213 for original and customized sourcecode and thanks to osrevad for Ascii-Art:
If you want to edit & customize, see section ;;; EDIT HERE ;;; at line #148:
If you want loop script, simply set Exit to comment:
If you want to send ALT + F4, if a specific windows is in front / focus (for example Windows Notepad / Editor):
If you want to close a collection of emulator systems / more than one application:
create a file called : emulators.txt
fill it with the names of tasks from taskmanager. for example:
vlc.exe
zsnes.exe
scummvm.exe
notepad.exe
calc.exe
all the enclosed tasks will be closed at the same time

same problem here
I think AM-window is keeping in front, your emulator is playing in background.
on my test-system I've got the same problems you describe:
Windows 10 x64 LTSB 1607
AM 2.5.1 (x86; normal and XP-Version)
zsnes emulator + game (I'm hearing the gamesound; no picture; can't switch to emulator with ALT + TAB)
at the moment => i do not know / no solution from me
try version 2.4.0 => report us

"no games play" => do you hear the game sound playing, but no pictures is shown?
could you test mame version 0.204 (without setting anything; just copy a game in rom-folder of mame and setup it to AM).

sorry, can't help. I'm not using mameui.
I'm offering you the relevant files (old = before patching ; new = after patching).
Use a tool like winmerge to see which codeline differs / changes and transfer it to mameui sourcecode (it seems similar to mame sourcecode).

Probably it will not close both programs. I do not know surely. This should do it:
See section OpenBOR.
Create an autoit script that kills your emulator and joy2key task (you have to check this information in taskmanager under details).
In AM add a third parameter:
