Switch Emulator Controls On The Fly

[tacreno]

Hi all,

My question is, has anyone experienced changing emulator controls on the fly?  Can you swap out emulator ini files using the modules?  The only thing I can think of is to have three sets of the emulator folders data but call them "mouse" and "gamepad" respectively. 

I currently have HyperLaunch running with multiple emulators.  I have two Minipac encoders and I setup each emulator individually and all is working well.

I am interested in adding two Aim-Trak lightguns, which emulate the mouse.  I will need to change from standard keyboard input to mouse input for gun games.  Example: NullDC supports either key input , xinput or DC Keyboard/Mouse.  I may also add some analog gamepads in the future too, which may further require switching controller inputs on the fly.

I know Xpadder  may work but I read they may add latency and I already have the Minipacs setup for keyboard output.

I appreciate any insight.

You can do this only if you emulate keyboard into a joystick

Then you can edit what each button does on the fly.

I had to come up with workarounds to make D-pads work in specific games like MKSM for pcsx2

Basically you turn the movements into dpad by holding a specific button, and then while its pressed - left movement would press a dpad key that is hooked to a keyboard hotkey.

 

You can also try to play around with URC, it lets you change profiles on the fly with a hotkey

This may do it for you, see my recent post.
