future pinball wrapper exe wont close in mala
« on: April 26, 2010, 03:04:57 am »
hi I'm quite new to this but i have been looking about the web and not really found anything i had a focus issue when loading future pinball from Mala (newest) so i installed a wrapper for it which works but when i exit the simulator future pinball table closes but Mala still has a starting screen and the wrapper splash screen still says loading and wont shut down someone must know what to do i think there must be a extra bit needed to the execution command thanks in advance

I never could get it to close properly until I installed autohotkey & mapped one of my buttons to the esc key.

http://www.autohotkey.com/

I mapped the middle mouse button (unused on my x-arcade tankstick) to esc using the following script-

MButton::escape

Create a shortcut to the script, right click to copy it, then paste it in the startup folder.
(right click start>explore all users>programs>startup)
This will launch the script with windows and a middle mouse button click with post as the ESC key.

This has fixed every emulator I had trouble exiting.
I learned just enough about autohotkey to get that done and nothing more, so I probably won't be able help you with it anymore than that.  ???

Or....

If you can tolerate it running windowed instead of fullscreen, I found that works also.
