How to get Mala to accept a Global Hook Process? [SOLVED]
« on: July 21, 2012, 10:35:53 pm »
I have a Global hook process running in the background called "Troubleshooter".
It allows PC light gun games to run with two players.

However when Mala opens the game via an AHK script it doesn't allow the global hook to happen.

The error log for the process says "Exception in GlobalHookProc"

Does anyone know how I can get Mala to allow this global hook?

Thanks.

OK...I think I solved this on my own.

I just had to place the dll file for the process in the same folder as the executable for the game. Now Mala picks up the hook process.

copied "TRBLSHTR.dll" into the executable folder. Now it allows the running background program to run!!
