It has been awhile. Built my own cab about 2/3 years ago and recently I found HOTD works really well with this model emulator 2 or model 2 emulator. I am only interested in HOTD so the way I would make this game work is the way I do my other HOTD games. I just have/will be doing a desktop shortcut to open up the emulator.exe hotd and it will open the game up fine. I even have it set in the emulator to run the game at full screen.
Problem is...I hit esc and it exits full screen but keeps the emulator running in a boxed window. Could anyone help me make a script to run this emulator.exe hotd but have it where when I press ESC it would do an ALT-F4 command at the end after the window goes small?
I have AHK on my system, but it has been a long while since I did any scripts. Actually come to think of it my HOTD2 and HOTD3 scripts for those two PC games were designed by folks on here I think.
Please help...Thanks...
Man one of these days when Mame gets to 0.20 I may rebuild a better system maybe quadcore and play me some Gauntlet Dark Legacy. Man that will be the day. I have .110 Mame on my setup, and it would be a hassle to update all of those roms. I cringe at even thinking about it. LOL! Anyways any AHK help will be great.

Hi there.
How about something like this:
------------------------------------------
RunWait, c:\games\HOTD2.exe, c:\games
ExitApp
esc::send !{F4}
------------------------------------------
It will run HODT2.exe in the c:\games diretory, while mapping the esc key to !{F4}, which is alt+F4.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Congui.
