Title: PPJoy to Key And Jaguar
Post by: TeutonicDarkness on August 08, 2009, 10:27:55 pm
Hello,


 For a long time I have looked for a way to use my
HotRodSE with the Jaguar Emulator: Project Temptest.
The Emulator apparently only accepts joystick input. :(

 Then I found several posts talking about PPJoyKey...
several Hours later I found a partially working solution:



Here is what I did:


Emulator is in a folder called Jaguar
Z:\Jaguar

I copied all the contents from
C:\Program Files\Parallel Port Joystick

to:Z:\Jaguar

I created a folder inside
called "JoyConfig"
Z:\Jaguar\JoyConfig

my profile named emustick.ini
Z:\Jaguar\JoyConfig\emustick.ini


I have made a .bat file that will launch The Jaguar with
Alien VS Predator selected.


Here is the contents of :Alien vs Predator.bat

///////////// //////////////
START PPJoyKey.exe JoyConfig\emustick.ini
START Z:\Jaguar\pt.exe AvP.jag
///////////////////////////////////////////


Now the only problem is I can't figure out how to auto kill
PPJoyKey on exit and have to do it manually.



If I can get that this will be perfect!

l use a program that comes with XP Pro called pskill.exe. If you havent got it google it and downloaded it . below is a command that you can use as a bat file to close ppjoykey.
l use this with mamewah, for it has post_emulator_app_commandlines.


C:\pskill -t ppjoykey.exe

Yes tried pskill, even process, I cant even get it to even launch
with a shell ...let alone kill it!  ;)

( Tried more than 1 shell too! )


It seems to only work from within Windows though
I cant figure out why?
