A newb after some advice with Emulator launch whilst HS running in BG

[PixelBlitterBoy]

Morning fellow Arcadian's

 

Currently got my HTPC setup running:

 

I have recently installed my first HS setup from scratch following the great tutorials on here and now have the following setup configured:

 

HyperSpin v1.4

RocketLauncher v1.0.1.4

RocketLauncher UI  v1.0.0.9

+ Using JoyToKey v5.8.0.360 [Registered]

+ MS Xbox 360 Controller

 

+Currently setup up - Commodore 64 Wheel using [WinVice]

 

All the above is working great.  Hyperspin launches fine, JoyToKey launches [HYPERSPIN] profile which functions perfectly with Xbox 360 Controller.  I select the Commodore 64 wheel > Game of choice (All work through WinVice standalone and also from RocketLaunchUI).  WinVice takes over, bringing itself to the foreground and loads the Rom/Game up no problems - Also JoyToKey changes profile to the new [system Profile] for the Commodore 64.

 

My problem/issue is that it doesn't lose focus/priority of the Hyperspin front-end.  When I am pressing any button on the controller and any key on the keyboard, instead of operating the game loaded in WinVice, it instead moves and controls the Hyperspin wheel in the background and not the current emulator (WinVice) which is currently running in the foreground.

 

This is really doing my head in with regards to why it is doing this....am I missing a tick box or parameter to stop/pause functionality with Hyperspin?

 

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated...or if you need any further info, logs, screenshot - just let me know!

 

Many thanks in advance.

Did you get this sorted out already? Joytokey is awesome but setting it up with HS and RL isn't as intuitive as it should be.

It sounds like you just created a c64 profile right in jtk. You need to have RL handle all the profile switching... and the profiles themselves are stored within RL, not in the jtk directory. Have a look at my tutorial. It may help.

If you've already followed my tutorial, then it may possibly be a focus issue. Have not set up winvice myself. And even though it appears in the foreground, the actual focus may still be on HS. In that case RL has an option to "click to restore focus" after launch that you can try.
