Remapping keyboard keys per game. Jamma, Swap keys

[jfp]

Struggled for about a day looking for apps to do this,my jamma uses a few hard coded keys like F2,5,6,cntr etc.. messes up some emus and pc games

Went the RL route in the end

Here are a few helpful links

you need to create and edit Rocketlauncher\Lib\User Functions\"Systemname"\"Gamename.ahk"

I'll give you Kodi.ahk in Rocketlauncher\Lib\User Functions\Kodi\Kodi.ahk as an example for my setup 

 

 

Kodi.ahk

Unfortunately some games don't play nice with this method like BIT.TRIP RUNNER

any other methods?? apart from sharp keys

Why do it as user functions?
RocketLauncher has per game AHK key remapping built right in.

Just select your system on the left, go to the key mapper tab, choose a new game (or system etc...) manually type your AHK key remaps below, test them using the test button and save them.

Nice. So you are using a straight Jamma cab wiring harness for your control panel? How does it tie into your PC? Some sort of multi-pin connector or iPac type board?

Ah, forgot to mention that VJoy can work great with some things but cause problems with others. For example a bunch of PC games will flip the **** out if you try to play them with the VJoy drivers enabled, the AAE emulator will crash if you have VJoy enabled etc... But other things won't work at all without it (MKX or Injustice for example).

So I set up an AHK script to enable the VJoy drivers when you launch a game and then disable them again when you exit a game.

Could you upload that script please, i've already encountered this problem and it's very annoying.

I already have it here in this post/thread below. You should be able to tweak that to work with whatever you need it to.

Thank you, Ran it through per game userfunctions since some steam games don't start from .exe
