joytokey problems with HS

[paraca]

Hi, just installed joy2key and mapped joysticks and Start and Escape buttons. That works in MAME and some other programs I´ve tested but I´ve got some problems with HS.

If I go through the wheel and jump from one (main wheel) to another (I´ve got two different wheels, one for mame games and the other for pimball) using Enter button and Escape button, they work at the beggining but them HS freezes for a while. Them seem to go back to normality but it does not responds fluently.

If I do the same process but using Enter and Escape with the keyboard, everything goes perfect.

If you need any other info, just let me know and I,ll post it.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Could simply be an art thing. If your main menu and system themes have SWF animations in them they can cause little glitches on some systems. Could try the system with only the barebones artwork etc and see if you still have the problems. Open up your Main Menu themes and have a look for SWF files. Lots of little things you can try first to trouble shoot it. If default art makes it all work smooth try adding our things back one system at a time. Replace the themes with simpler ones from the downloads section.

1.) Do you have joysticks, spinner and trackball disabled in HyperHQ?

2.) Does joytokey have any send key delay settings or key release settings that you may have changed?

3.) Do other keymappers like xpadder do this as well? If so it may be HyperSpin causing the issues.

4.) Do you have joytokey v5 or greater?

5.) Does this happen for other controllers as well?

I am trying to get away from the limitations of using Xarcade encoder. Just set up a generic USB joysticks and buttons which function perfectly on every emulator, BUT of course will not function in HS menu. And as usual I have spent, excuse me, wasted countless hours reading others posts trying different solutions from JoytoKey AHK etc.and nothing is working. There must be an easy solution to getting functionality from a generic USB joystick and buttons in HS main menu. And please no one say xpadfder as I refuse to spend more money on a utility this you would think is probably one of the most basic functions the HS should be able to handle so I am not spending more money and learning new aps. Puttin my foot down on that one haha

BTW I have set AHK remaps for dreamcast in HLHQ which work great. Just cant get that to work for HS main menu

Well I suggest coding your own hyperspin if you want native joystick control and don't want to use a keymapper. Otherwise you will need to use a keymapper. AHK makes no sense because it is normally used for a key to key mapping. Leaving you with two options joytokey and xpadder. You said no to xpadder so my suggestion is to use joytokey

Appreicate the response ghutch92 but still having issues.

I broke down and purchased xpadder and I got it to work, BUT how do you get it to work from startup as xpadder is not running on start up. Putting xpadder into the start menu would probably work, but I will be using InstaSheller which bypasses Windows.

I use my hyperspin startup script. You can find it in the third party section of the forums.

I just added xpadder as a start up program in HQ then within xpadder under START I checked the box "start minimized if started by user." You see a flash of xpadder being minimized when my startup video begins but its not that big a deal to me. Does your script avoid that flash?

To whom it may concern my xpadder method does work if your using InstaSheller on startup (I am using a generic joy and button encoder from China similar to Xin Mo.)

1 - when you first create a profile in xpadder save that profile as "p1" and put into HyperSpin\HyperLaunch\Profiles\Xpadder\HyperSpin

2 - Goto HQ startup/exit and point to xpadder for startup program.

3 - open xpadder click the top right wrench symbol. under Start check the box "start minimized when started by user"

that's it. now you can operate the main menu. I use a dual joystick with trackball but only set xpadder for player 1 to operate HS main menu. I created all my Emu's joy/button config separately within each Emu so BEFORE you config your controllers in your emu's you have to close xpadder first otherwise it will map your buttons to your keyboard ie Joy Up will be key8
