Losing focus after exiting MAME

[epetti]

I have a rotating monitor that automatically rotates based on the game selected. This always worked well for me in the past, but recently I updated from Windows XP to Windows 7. Now, about a third of the time when I exit from a vertical game where it has to rotate the monitor, Hyperspin loses focus. I see it, but can't do anything unless I Alt-Tab back into it. I'm running the rotate command as a shell script as part of the script for MAME.

 

My MAME.ahk is:

 

Runwait, %emupath%\Rotation.exe "%romName%"

 

Runwait, %executable% %romName%, %emuPath%, Hide UseErrorLevel

 

if(ErrorLevel != 0){

  if (ErrorLevel = 1){

    Error = Failed Validity

  }else if(ErrorLevel = 2){

    Error = Missing Files

  }else if(ErrorLevel = 3){

    Error = Fatal Error

  }else if(ErrorLevel = 4){

    Error = Device Error

  }else if(ErrorLevel = 5){

    Error = Game Does Not Exist

  }else if(ErrorLevel = 6){

    Error = Invalid Config

  }else if(ErrorLevel = 7 || ErrorLevel = 8 || ErrorLevel = 9){

    Error = Identification Error

  }else{

    Error = Mame Error

  }

  MsgBox Mame Error - %Error%

}

 

process, waitclose, %executable%

 

Runwait, %emupath%\Rotation.exe "reset"

 

ExitApp

 

;Required

CloseProcess:

   ;Doesnt have to do anything but make sure to have the line before and after this line.

return

 

 

and my Rotation.ahk is:

 

;[Rotation.exe]

 

;

 

;

 

#SingleInstance force 

 

 

romName = %1%

 

If ((romName = "ace") | (romName = "maze") | (romName = "bang") | (romName = "batman") | (romName = "blasto") | (romName = "bullfgt") | (romName = "cannball") | (romName = "circus") | (romName = "combat") | (romName = "cotton") | (romName = "smash") | (romName = "dday") | (romName = "zero") | (romName = "edf") | (romName = "esb") | (romName = "flyball") | (romName = "gaia") | (romName = "galaxi") | (romName = "gng") | (romName = "grdnstrm") | (romName = "headon") | (romName = "car2") | (romName = "hustle") | (romName = "island") | (romName = "island2") | (romName = "joust") | (romName = "eto") | (romName = "le2") | (romName = "msh") | (romName = "mk") | (romName = "mk2") | (romName = "news") | (romName = "orbit") | (romName = "pass") | (romName = "pgm") | (romName = "phrcraze") | (romName = "popeye") | (romName = "kok") | (romName = "spy") | (romName = "safari") | (romName = "sonic") | (romName = "skyraid") | (romName = "sss") | (romName = "sf") | (romName = "roul") | (romName = "jleague") | (romName = "atetris") | (romName = "tetris") | (romName = "tictac") | (romName = "toki") | (romName = "tm") | (romName = "statriv2") | (romName = "vf") | (romName = "vr") | (romName = "topgun") | (romName = "ws"))

{

goto horizontalrotation

}

 

param := "%romName%"

 

;reads verticalRoms controlled roms list

 

IniRead, verticalRoms, %A_ScriptDir%\Rotation.ini, controls, Set2_vertical

 

;reads state of vertical, horizontal rotation (user added line in "controls.ini")

 

iniread, state, %a_scriptdir%\Rotation.ini, Controls, PrevState 

 

ifnotinstring, verticalRoms, %romname%, gosub, horizontalrotation

 

 

 

verticalrotation:

 

if ( State = "vertical") 

 

{

 

exitapp

 

} 

 

else if ( State = "horizontal") 

 

{ 

 

Run, %COMSPEC% /c "smccmd --resume --speed -1000", ,{enter},hide

 

iniwrite, vertical, C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\MAME\Rotation.ini, controls, PrevState 

 

exitapp

 

}

 

 

 

horizontalrotation:

 

if ( State = "horizontal" ) 

 

{

 

exitapp

 

} 

 

else if ( State = "vertical") 

 

{ 

 

Run, %COMSPEC% /c "smccmd --resume --speed 1200", ,{enter},hide

 

iniwrite, horizontal, C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\MAME\Rotation.ini, controls, PrevState 

 

exitapp

 

}

 

 

 

I'm still in Hyperspin 1.3 and Hyperlaunch. Don't want to upgrade unless absolutely necessary as everything else is working stably.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.
