Mapping the X360 Guide Button - Executable + Source Code

[pinumbernumber]

I just updated this again with support for holding down the key, you might want to grab it again: http://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1goval/any_way_to_map_the_middle_xbox_360_button/camujj7

(It doesn't do it by default, you need to edit the hold_player1/2/3/4 options in the INI)

I also fixed the INI's line endings so you can use Notepad to edit it now.

Could the OP please update the attachment from v2? (the v5 zip includes the source)

↓↓ thankee

Will do in a few hours.

Even though I have the button mapped to + (to bring up Hyper Pause) it seems to not bring it up anymore though the button sends + to everything else like Notepad etc.. Anyone else experiencing this?

[Pyramid_Head]

Guess it's just me LOL

I had problems with it too at first. I had to remove it and start from scratch then it worked fine with HL.

[Pyramid_Head]

Hmm I'll have to try that. Thanks.

[Pyramid_Head]

No luck with that man. Are you using it with the latest HL?

[zerojay]

I think something's bugged, as I'm having the same issue.

[Pyramid_Head]

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Any ideas djvj?

[zerojay]

This isn't a DJ thing. This is an issue with what the program is sending to Hyperspin. Instead of it sending the key we pressed, it's sending the character. If you set HyperPause to work on the regular + key, it would probably work. I've alerted the guy who wrote the source.

[Pyramid_Head]

Ah ok my bad I'll try that man

[Pyramid_Head]

Nah still no luck here. Might try using V2 again.

[pinumbernumber]

V2 won't help, they send the keys in the same way. Which code are you using for +? 107? Is it possible to change that key mapping?

[zerojay]

Yes, I'm using 107 which previously worked and now isn't for some reason. Yes, the key mapping can change, the Numpad + is the default.

[Pyramid_Head]

I was using 107 as well and it's not working either. It worked before one of the last HL updates I do know that. I'm guessing it's something to do with that. Besides that it works fine in Notepad etc..

[Pyramid_Head]

Still trying to figure out what happened with this :/

[pinumbernumber]

I don't know to be honest- I don't use any of these programs, I just made this at someone's request. Maybe HL uses some method of picking up key presses that isn't triggered by Windows' SendInput function. Can you try using a key other than +?

[bleasby]

The hold key could not be working also because a known xhotkey bug with hold press on HyperLaunch.

I need to check this out. Meanwhile I advise everybody to just use the normal guide button press until I have time to check if this is the problem that it is happening or not.

[Pyramid_Head]

I just know it was working fine until the last two or so HL updates. Thanks for looking into it though

[Pyramid_Head]

I decided to give Motioninjoy a go again using my PS3 DS3 pad and I noticed you can map the PS button to a keyboard key so I mapped it to numpad+ and it loaded HP right up! I'm not sure what happened with this in the latest HL updates.

[pinumbernumber]

Hey guys, I made a new version that supports different keys for brief taps and long presses; it won't do that by default, you'll have to adjust the INI. It no longer includes source because I rewrote it in an attempt to made it cleaner, but actually turned it into a gruesome unmaintainable mess of which I am ashamed

Also it looks like people are still grabbing the attached v2- any chance it could just be deleted?

[Pyramid_Head]

Thanks man!

[zerojay]

Nope, the v2 cannot be removed from the post. Mods?

[rpdmatt]

Anyone else getting a crash when they try to run this on Windows 8? It just says Error loading Xinput DLL and then button_on_guide2.exe has stopped working. Tried version 2, 5 and 6.

[Pyramid_Head]

It works for me. Any updates on this though? It still works just fine. Except for some reason it only seems to want to load up HyperPause when it wants to if that makes sense.
