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?

tia guys

BuZz880:
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

rockmes:
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

BuZz880:
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.

rockmes:
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.
