xpadder setup no longer working in hs after i set it up for an emu

[Duckie]

Hello.

I hope it is under the right topic with 3rd party software..

Today i finally got my xbox usb receiver to connect a wireless controller to my pc....yahoo.

So i got xpadder for it.....played with it for a bit....got the idea of how it worked.

So i setup a nice profile for having it work with hyperspin....it works....maybe not the best button layout...but i can browse...go back.....select a game.....set my "exit" button to select and start pressed together....

All worked.

So...it was time to set it up for a game.

I took sega genesis cause it was easily located on my list in hq on the left.

Setup fusion with a button layout.

Made a profile in hq and xpadder.

did the internal test thing....worked

Tried launch game from hq....and wuhoo it works!

So now for the real experience......a real test

I start hyperspin....starts......i press down on my controller....nothing.

humpf....

ok...wtf....close...restart.....try again...nothing.

ok...back to HQ.....do the hs layout test....works.

try the fusion layout test...works.

ok...back to HS...no responding from the controller.

I start my game the "old fashioned" way with the keyboard...it loads

i try my controller.....works......perfectly.....i exit the game with the back+start button on my controller as i had that setup in HQ.....works

back in HS....no response from controller at al.

Anybody knows what happened?

When it was just the hs profile it worked flawless in hs.

but now that i added a profile for an emu....the menu responses are gone.

I did check if it loads profiles up and aparantly it does.

Cause what i tried was load up a profile with every button connected to the letter Q......than load hs....than start a game...and my profile for the emu is taking over cause the assigned buttons work.

Anybody can think of an option i messed up or overlooked ?

ok aparantly it works if i load the HS profile BEFORE i start HS.

But when i start a game...quit it and go back ...than HS no longer responds to controller.

ideas/hints ?

[Duckie]

so basicly i got it working now with the HS STARTUP utility i found in one of the topics.

Does the job for what i can tell now.

Only,...is there an option to shut it down or go back to like blank profile when you quit hyperspin ?

Basicly i am lazy i would like the xpadder to shutdown when HS shuts down so i can just go back to normal controller actions when i start a "windows" game without the chance of forgetting that i had xpadder running.

I just use xpadders built in auto profile. Have a blank profile with back button set to escape (which needs to be held for 5 secs to activate) set it for all emus you are going to use the emus input and set it for explorer.exe so it uses blank instead of hyperspin config.

I found it easier using this method

i have been looking in the options of xpadder....but i do not find this autoprofile thing you mention.

(nor do i understand what you m ean with setting the back button for all emu to a 5 second escape button)

Is everything else with xpadder working fine, like the startup switching between your frontend and the emulator (or application) through HyperLaunch?

Is the only thing left to do is to shutdown xpadder on HyperSpin exit? If so this is easy. In the startup/exit programs in HyperHQ add xpadder as your exit program. In the parameters box below the exit program path add /C

As soon as you click anywhere on desktop it will go to the blank profile

Xpadder profile for blank with escape key set to hold for 7 seconds, Use for all you emus that you have configured the input in the emu's

thanks for all the tips...will give them a go when i got some time to really sit down for it

[Duckie]

ok...trying to not kill my xbox controller here and jell at xpadder...

shermo...your mega link wont load for me...the icon loads like 5% and than stops.

Also ....one moment it works flawless when i load up hs....xpadder starts...responds directly.

Other times...it opens with an error....wont work in HS....i have to use keyboard...start an emu...exit it...and it works in hs.

and there is no logic in it if xpadder is already loaded or not before hs starts.

other problem i have is with mame.

my exit buttons are escape and 5+1.

mame also has 5 for coins and 1 for start of course.....but no problem as long as you dont press them together i would say.

ok...now i start mame.....all my assigned buttons works...except for my select (5) and start (1) button to put in coins and start player 1.

It does exit when i press them together......but alone they do not insert coins or start..... i have to use the keyboard to insert my coin and start.

After that i can play with controller without problem...... and exit with pressing 5+1 together (works on controller and keyboard)

any tips ?

Hard to help you there mate. Saying it is some error could mean anything. Try narrowing it down some more. See if you can reproduce the error on purpose, and then detail the steps to get the error. Also taking a screenshot of the error would be immensely helpful. If you're using my startup script, xpadder will not startup unless your controllers are on before you start hyperspin.

mame doesn't read xpadder key input (same for ahk and joytokey), looks like you are just finding out about this. Tip search google for mame ctrlr 360.

[Duckie]

ok i will look into those links later...

oh and the error message...i cant just reproduce it...it just happens.

Now i got it after the 3rd time i restarted hs.

First 2 no problem...3rd time this error

What version of xpadder are you using?

Thank you for this! I've been trying like hell to get xpadder to work through hyperlaunch but I was having some trouble getting xpadder to switch profiles while in Hyperspin. This method worked like a charm for me. The only thing I don't understand is how you have Mame working with xpadder? Did you have to make a profile for each game? That would be crazy! Lol I so wanted xpadder to work through hyperlaunch, I just don't understand what I was missing. I'm using the latest hyper launch, modules, emulators and the version of xpadder is the same one in the tutorial that's floating around here. Anyway, thanks again!

ghutch, i am on xpadder 2014.01.01

shermo, i still cant access your mega file...still stops at around 5% :/

i fixed partof my mame problem by just mapping back and start to 5 and 1 in mame itself. so for now that is one problem partly fixed

[ghutch92]

I've honestly have never seen the auotprofilescan error so I do not know how to fix it. Try deleting the xpadder settings file in the same file as xpadder.exe and see if this helps. It should be a .ini file if I correctly recall.

I had that same problem. Take another look at your HyperlaunchHQ Settings for the Keymapper (Global->General Settings) there is an extra drop down box that you need to select "Xpadder". I believe it's something like "Keymapper Frontend Profile" I'm not in front of mine atm so i can't tell you the exact option's name, but when that option wasn't set to "Xpadder", Hyperspin was completely unresponsive after exiting an emulator as it wasn't loading the profile (All Emulator Xpadder Profiles loaded fine, it was just Hyperspin that was having a problem)

Sorry for delay ive been away for a while

Profile is there

you could make a text file and enter

;--- Xpadder Profile File ---

DataType=Profile

Version=2014.01.01

[Profile Settings]

[set Settings]

[Assignments]

Set1Button7Slots=HOLD ZONE 7.10s,Escape

Then rename it to .xpadderprofile

I was having a slight issue with mame turned out it was because i have a razer nostromo and it has a xinput, it was causing mame not to detect my 360 controller but it worked fine for me anyhow lol
