Mamehook and Title Bar Hooking on Win10
« on: October 11, 2020, 06:03:53 pm »
Hello,
i have some Probs with Mamehook on Win10 64 Bit.
Mamehook works on my System with Mame and Supermodel.
Sadly not with other Emulators like Teknoparrot or other Programs, better said everything i try to get Running where i made a Title Bar Hooking Configuration before doesnt run, Mamehook keeps with an empty Window....
It even doesnt matter if i start notepad.exe or something else.
Does someone have an Idea how i get that prob solved?

Ok first thing to remember is title bar hooking is turned off by default so you'll have to turn it on.  Also you'll have to configure it.... it'll walk you through the process.  The third thing to remember is, unless an emulator or game is coded specifically to do so, all title bar hooking can do is tell mamehooker that a particular emulator has launched and perhaps which rom is running depending upon the info the emulator actually displays in it's title bar. 

If you've done all of that and are still having problems you might want to take some screenshots so I can see what is going on.

You need to look into using Output Blaster if using Teknoparrot

Throw in game folder and enable Use Outputs in game settings for supported games and will work with mamehooker fine
