h2seq and flycast

[holmes]

Hello,
 I have just discovered h2seq. Works nicely with model2 emulator. I do not underestand how it works. Could it work with other emulators such as Flycast?
I would like to play Daytona on  this emu.

Thanks!

From memory it doesn't work with anything not listed - so it only feeds MAME, M2emu and i can't remember the other program. You could test it in notepad though. Set your keys, open notepad and hit them and see what gives. (if it will work with m2emu minimised in the background, you might try that).

Hello, H2Seq is an autoit script. Works only with supported emulators because any emu calls for different functions: the script "sees" the current emulator (and game) and apply dedicated routines.

Hmm, that does give rise to the thought that you could just write your own script in AutoHotkey to do the same thing. Which would work with any emulator as long as the script was running and the emulator sees AHK input.

Yes, shure. But you will likely have conflicts in a racing cab if more than one game uses the same inputs but in a different way.
H2Seq in particular doesn't only manage gears, but also other game- specific functions. This is why I had to limit compatibility with those games I actualy use and can test with my poor hardware

Oh? What other game-specific functions does it do? I was more thinking you'd load any supposed program alongside an emulator with a batch file, and then just kill it the same way. I prefer doing things that way.

No: H2Seq is intended to run in background and apply dedicated functions to specific games. It not only handle gear changes, but also view changes and in some game key combinations (in example it exits M2 emulator when you press ESC. The emulator itself still runs in windowed mode if you press ESC).
All implemented functions are described in the readme file if you want to dig it more (it's a long time I don't work on it  )
