Title: [SOLVED] Run an AHK script from Mala : error 193
Post by: telliouze on March 23, 2011, 03:55:44 am: Hi,

I try to launch Street Fighter IV from Mala, so I'm using an AutoHotKey script I found here on BYOAC :

Code: [Select]
#NoEnv SendMode Input SetWorkingDir C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\STREETFIGHTERIV\ Blockinput on SetBatchLines -1 Gui +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindow Gui Color, 0 ;Gui Show, x0 y0 h%A_ScreenHeight% w%A_ScreenWidth%, HSHIDE Run, SF4Launcher.exe, , Max WinWait, STREET FIGHTER IV LAUNCHER IfWinNotActive, STREET FIGHTER IV LAUNCHER WinWaitActive, STREET FIGHTER IV LAUNCHER Send, {enter} Blockinput off Process, WaitClose, StreetFighterIV.exe return ESC:: Process, Close, StreetFighterIV.exe ExitAPP return
This AHK script is located in my "d:\borne\windows\" folder.

But when I try to launch via Mala ... I get error 193 (see attachment "error")

My Windows "Other Emu" tab is set up as seen in the 2 other attachments ...

I've tried many tweaks : in the script, in Mala ... and I can't get it to work.

Thanks for any help you can come with ... it's been very frustrating since it's the last thing I need to finish ma cab ...

Look for info in google!

You do not lose anything by trying. :-\

Post by: BadMouth on March 23, 2011, 09:32:51 pm: Don't remember the specifics of why, but try creating a shortcut to the AHK file & pointing MALA to that.
(the file type will be .lnk)

Post by: telliouze on March 24, 2011, 05:59:00 am: I think I've tried the shortcut thing but it didn't work, I had the same error ... thanks anyway.

Still on the scripting subject ... when I launch JoyToKey from an AHK script (or a batch) it totally ignores all my profiles and starts with a default config ... Is it a known bug ? And more important, is there a solution ?

Post by: empardopo on March 24, 2011, 06:28:35 am: I think that the best option is to compile your ahk file thus you don't need to install Autohotkey in your computer.
Greetings!
