3DO Emulator...

[TeutonicDarkness]

 I decided to add the 3DO emulator Freedo to my collection.
I'm aware of the Command line wrapper ( and am using it)
for this emulator.

 The command line Wrapper does allow to launch games
successfully however...
The problems is I don't use the "Esc" key to exit my Emulators
but the "c" key.

Using Closeemul in addition to the command line wrapper
has proven tricky to say the least!


Does anyone know how I can accomplish this task?


I would be most grateful!

i could be mistaken but isn't the wrapper's main function to add 'esc' key to emu's that don't support them?

i use the wrapper myself with the 3do emu but i've never tried using closeemu.  i'd suggest trying to run the freedo without the wrapper and use closeemu so you can still use 'c'.

sorry i couldn't be more help

 Well If you own a HotRod Controller there is no "Esc" key
the next best thing is "C" key.

 I cant even Use Freedo without the Wrapper so that is not even
a option. I tried using Closeemul but it would exit the Game
only to give me a blank emulator screen.

I tried all kind of Combinations...

After hours and hours of frustration I found a way to do what
I need but its not pretty at all.


I use Auto Hot Key..(setup similar to bat files,compile to exe,
create Shortcut of exe.
My Front End is set to PC and roms as .lnk files


I'll provide a example maybe it will help others:

Code: [Select]

run FreeDoWrapper.exe AloneintheDark.iso
c::
Send, `{F4}{ALTDOWN}{F4}{ALTUP}
#SingleInstance force
run process -q AutoHotkey.exe
run process -k FreeDoWrapper.exe
run process -k AloneintheDark.exe


The files is named AloneintheDark.ahk
the compiled to AloneintheDark.exe and finally
the shortcut is named: Alone in the Dark.lnk


( I have had to run all the letters in the name together to
avoid problems at the command line)
Shortcuts all have the proper name.


It works but will take a while doing this for each rom!

Hey is everyone else have Freedo hang for a few secs
before launch or is it just my PC?

Doesn't look very Front End friendly to have the Emulator
lingering around this long before launch..

Well its tolerable for now unless I'm presented with an alternative.


Thanks...
