DESPRATELY NEED HELP - Scripting, PLEASE can someone assist!

[darthbane2k]

Im trying to get virtua fighter 2 PC version to run on my cab. Now the game works fine but unless I change the frame rate options to full and not auto, it will run slow. To get to the options you need to tap F6. Now you might be thinking, simply change it to full and exit tyhe game and it will save the settings automatially - WRONG! The game does not save ANY graphics options, so I would have to manually press F6 each time I load the game - not the best of solutions for a cab!! There is also no ini file for me to config these options before launching a  game.

It would seem my only solution would be to write a script or macro that sutomatically  launches the game, goes into options, changes frame to full and exits f6 options back onto the game title screen.

I have NO idea how to do this.

Can anyone help, I would LOVE to have virtua fighter 2 on my cab.

Sounds like you should make a batch file.  I'm changing my nick to captain obvious.

a batch file to do what? to press F6 , navigate through menus and change graphics settings for me? 

I didnt know  a batch could do this. Please tell me how?

I think what I need is a script or a macro, and thats something I need help on

I believe you are correct.  I have taken the role of unofficial thread bumper.  I appologize for any inconvenience.

I do a lot of scripting at work. One program that you should check out is AutoIT - it is freeware, and can be downloaded from here:

Version 2 is easier for someone new to scripting to understand. This may not work for you, if these menus are not "Windows compliant." So, at least I will give you a possible point to do what you are looking for.

Good luck!
