l have finally worked out the way to start ppjoykey before l start my pc games in mamewah version 1.6.0.2. what l would love to happen is for the pre emulator app to close down as l finish the game. is there some post emulator app command that l should put in my pc.ini file for it to close down? can somebody check mi ini to see what l am missing? ### Pc Games.ini (mamewah v1.62) ### emulator_title Pc ### List Generation Settings ### rom_path c:\arcade rom_extension lnk dat_file nms_file catver_ini_file list_generation_method rom_folder ### Execution Settings ### pre_emulator_app_commandlines C:\arcade\ppjoykey.bat{nowait}{autoquit} emulator_commandline PC "[rompath]\[name].[romext]"{dosbox}{safelaunch} post_emulator_app_commandlines general_app_commandlines ### Artwork Locations ### artwork_image_paths C:\aracde\images movie_preview_path movie_artwork_no 1 ### Screen-Saver Settings ### enable_music_in_screensaver 1 select_random_game 0 saver_type slideshow movie_path movie_fullscreen 1 quit_delay 30 saver_commandline ### Additional Settings ### music_path lcd_display_file_path ### Settings used by MAMEWAH ### current_list 0 tia guys |

I would just use a post_emulator_app bat file to kill the process. I don't know if this is the preferred method but it will work. taskkill /im ppjoykey.exe /f |

this is the information inside my current bat file to open ppjoykey with a specified ini for it. ppjoykey.bat: @ECHO OFF C: cd C:\Program Files\joytokey\ ppjoykey.exe C:\Program Files\joytokey\player2.ini cls exit Buzz880 could you please tell me exactly what l need to type to the new bat file to close the above one. l tried the one you posted, but doesnt work. Cheers |

Open a command window and type what I wrote directly and make sure it works. It works fine for me but weho knows maybe taskkill isn't a standard windows XP home feature or something... I am using PRO. You could maybe add: c:\ cd \ to the start of the exit bat but I don't think its necessary. |

you were right. windows XP home edition doesnt have taskkill so l downloaded a program called pskill.exe and it works grouse. For those of you that would like to know ,this is what l did. put the pskill.exe file into c:\ drive , and then made a bat file called pskill.bat : C:\pskill -t ppjoykey.exe then l edited my mamewah config file for my PC emulator (PC Games.ini) under: post_emulator_app_commandlines C:\arcade\pskill.bat {nodosbox}{safelaunch}{nowait}{autoquit} and thats it guys, it works grouse . Now when l start my pc games [virtua tennis], mamewah activate my bat file to start ppjoykey.exe first. then when l exit the game mamewah activates my other bat file to close ppjoykey.exe. |
