Fix it Felix Jr. - The Game

[frostyfire03530]

I've never had it restart on me either. Maybe with certain systems that behaviour happens.

Here is my setup that launches upright with a bezel. If anyone wants it just take the files out of the zip and install to the root of drive C: and put your game in the last file.In the file are three ahk.exe one for joy2keyand hyperspin one just hyperspin and the one named new is just for pc .I used parts of different ahk scripts to make it work thanks to anyone who made them. http://www.mediafire.com/?bvhmaxo6whv9nfx

Cool1, thanks for posting the link to these file. The scripts contained are essentially the same as those listed by djvj earlier in this thread. The link was a bit more complete given the bezel artwork and all. However, I was unable to get the "new.ahk" to work. I get several AHK errors on the first few lines where the initial variables/functions are stated. When I try to clean them up, I get new errors. Even though I have corrected the file path to the executable file it won't launch because the script doesn't work.

I don't think the "new.ahk" is truly set up to work on a PC alone. May need djvj's PC Launcher module used with Hyperspin. I'm actually just launching this game directly from my PC (with Auto Hot Key) or through Mala.

Anyone know how to get these scripts to work on a PC without the extra module(s) and/or Hyperspin. How can the file be cleaned up to work by itself? Anyone have any pointers? Thanks.

Also...RAIN, what you got going on? Any luck yet?

You need to modify the AHK to center the image to your screen. Basically you compile the AHK and see how it looks on your screen. You then delete the compiled exe file, re-edit the AHK file, make the resolution change, recompile, launch the compiled EXE - wash rinse and repeat until it sits right on your screen.

This won't make the game stretch full screen horizontally like you can do in mame (4:3 aspect) but that to me is odd. Not how it was originally anyway

I assure you the compiled EXE is the equivalent of just launching a PC game executable. It's basically a wrapper that allow you to set the resolution, bind/remap keys and launch the game executable. A more complex BAT file heh.

[cool1]

I don't have hyperspin installed on this computer and it runs fine with bezel .just download the zip and make sure your FixitFelixJr.exe named exactly the same copy and past name and the data folder is in the same folder as the new.exe and launch the new.exe or .ahk

p.s the only path that might need changed is the path to the bezel it is as follows C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\fix_it_felix_jr\bezel.png so if you unzip the pack and paste the hyperspin folder to the root of C: it should work with bezel

EDIT here is a file that doesn't care where you put it .Found it in another post just put the files in the folder named like it says and launch your .ahk from anywhere on your computer http://www.mediafire.com/download/lgq90ce19uj8knu/fix_it_felix_jr_mobile.zip

OK guys...I think I finally understand what you're showing me here. I downloaded the above code that Cool1 posted and ran the executable directly after putting my FixitFelixjr.exe and Data folder in the same area and...BAM!!! it worked perfectly. Game runs in the center of my horizontal monitor. No Windows title/border and a bezel to boot. Awesome!!

So...next I thought all I had to do was edit the "brand new.ahk" file as suggested by Deadly to add my own keystroke remaps, recompile and I'd be golden. No so. When I run the newly created executable I get the following error statement:

__________________________________________________

Error: Parameter #1 invalid The current thread will exit

Specifically: GUI1: New

Line #

-----> 013: Gui, GUI1: New, -Caption +ToolWindow +OwnDialogs

__________________________________________________

I changed NOTHING except the keystroke remaps and I got that over and over again. Just for fun I reverted to the original file and compiled that one with NO CHANGES at all. Same error.

So...the "brand new.exe" as downloaded works fine, but I can't make any changes to "brand new.ahk" without getting errors after running the compiled version of the same.

What am I doing wrong here? I know I'm very close but I just can't figure it out. Any pointers??

Sorry Posted Twice Opps.

Found my Disney Cab - Bright Blue already and just had to Join in.

I had to Join in on the fun, I have compiled FIX IT FELIX - I updated the sounds and textures, It is wrapped in a EXE and launches full screen.

I also wrapped one that is Rotated 90 and Full Screen

If you want it PM ME ill provide a link.

This means you do not have ahk_L installed. You need ahk_L to compile L specific commands, like the GUI New one.

Aaaaaahhh... That makes sense. I wondered if I was somehow using some outdated software or something.

Now I'm worried that if I replace my current AHK that I might mess up all the other basic AHK scripts i'm using on my arcade cabinet.

My scripts are super simple. They call for BAT files, run game .EXEs, configure exit keystroke combos, other keystroke remapping. I use WinWait, WinClose, WinActivate commands, etc. Nothing too crazy (I think). I do have a couple of more complicated scripts running for Future Pinball and Visual Pinball however.

If I install AHK_L, can I uninstall and go back to AHK basic if I want?

Or...is there a way to recode this script for AHK Basic so it will work the same way??

You have nothing to worry about. Remove the basic version, install the L and you're good to go. And yes, it is as easy as uninstalling the L version and reverting back to the old version if needed (which I highly doubt you'll need to).

OK, I solved it without having to reinstall AHK. I simply created an AHK file (basic) with my keystroke remaps and close processes for both the Fix It Felix Jr wrapper executable file and for FixItFelixJr.exe. I then launched that AHK file via Mala. Worked great!! Game plays perfectly, centered on my horizontal monitor, no evidence of Windows, and even has a bezel. Shuts down with my selected key combo (2+4) and sends me back to Mala. Awesome!!

My final launcher AHK script looked something like this:

Sorry anyone who sent me a PM asking for the game please send me again. I deleted the PM's by mistake. I will reply -

I have FIXIT wrapped in several version, one includes Yellow Bezel - full screen centered for Horizonal Mons, Same one without Yellow Bezel, Rotated screen 90, Rotated 270 and straight fullscreen if your monitor is already rotated.

Here the link to my wrapped games - all have the updated sounds and graphics

great job guys, only one question how do I center the game ? on my screen looks moved up and on the left side

thanks

[Shredso]

I'm having the same issue plus the sizing is off. On my horizontal monitor running at 800x600 I can't see the score.

[GUNPEY]

Hi, this game is great! please somebody can tell me how converted the texture2v4.bmp to transparency png...

I try with all sofware but (and dont have the same weight 113kb) i really appreciate if someone upload the clean png please!!!!

[markdivine]

Thanks Warriorpoet I appricitate the contribution! Great job!

[logan5]

Wow, thanks warriorpoet! I kinda gave up on this thinking thinking it'd never become available...Love it!!! Awesome job!

[uVSthem]

Nice work warriorpoet however I'm having issues with the bezel versions. The game's display is just a window and not actually full screen with the bezel in the background. Anything I can do to fix this?

Thank you Warriorpoet! pretty excited to get this going on my cabinet. I was having some issues trying to use Joy2Key to map the buttons. It's probably a matter of me not understanding how everything works.

By trial and error, I mapped the default keys, (z, x, c, 1, directions arrows) to the appropriate buttons on my usb joystick via joy2key. Everything works great when I run the FixitFelixJr.exe. However, when I open up any of the other variations (i.e. FFJ_YellowBezel_Horizontal.exe) the joystick doesn't work. All controls are back to the default keyboard buttons, even though Joy2Key is still running. I find that strange cause Joy2key should be "universal" for a lack of a better term.

Also, hopefully this wasn't explained previously in the thread, but I only get the added sound bytes (i.e. I'm gonna wreck it!) when running the variations of the .exe, and not the default FixItFelixJr.exe. Is there a reason why?

Thank you!

Hey, guys, stumbled on a problem, getting the disney version to load,

I have it working on my win7 laptop, and several other inferior machines

but...

my win7 hp, core2duo 2.66ghz, 2gb, 64bit, dot net 4.0, dx9.5, dx11, no videocard, just the intel video... is having trouble loading the game, I have tried several resolutions and orientations, the game loads, sound loads, but no graphics though, anyone else have this problem in the past?

[superrama]

Thanks Warriorpoet!

Sadly I could not figure out how to modify the game to my keys so, I just I just remapped my keys to the game. Ill spend more time with the ahk later.

[brandsizzle]

Thanks warriorpoet, the wife loves it

reply to my post... is it possible for some reason that the graphics chip is not powerful enough to support the game, the game has a ram foot print of about 80mb, and the computer has the ability to use ram as video memory, I dont know how to tell how much video memory is needed, or what exact requirements this pc is not meeting

will a video card possibly help?
