  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Makaron config key each rom different (żautohotkey?)
« on: March 06, 2013, 02:56:11 am »
Hi. I'm using makaron for naomi emulation. There games like ikaruga, that when i rotate the screen, controls are invert. I will need change general controls in a few games.
I was trying to do with autohotkey with no results.
Can autohotkey do this?
i was trying something like this (i'm using fronted mala).-

if(%rom%="ikaruga"){
p::v
}

What do you think about it?

Thank you very much!

I don't remember the controls being different between the games.....are you trying to play the vertical games on a horizontal monitor?

The best way to go about it depends on which front-end you are using.

How are you launching the game?
I'd have an ahk script launch the game and define the controls,
rather than having the script run all the time and waiting for the rom to be detected.

Makaron will fail to launch a game if the service menu is set to the wrong orientation or number of players.
Do you already have a batch file in place that takes care of that?
