Can exit PCSX2 game, but not the emulator window

[eidern]

Hello

I'm setting up some PSX2 games with the PCSX2 emulator.

The emulator exits by the esc key; As I got only an XArcade joystick and a pad button keyboard as I play I set under an ahk shortcut to simulate the press of the ESC key in order to exit the game.

It works but... it only escape the game, then the emulator window appears on screen, and cannot be exit unless I click on close with the mouse , or press esc with the keyboard (weird enough, the previous shortcut that simulates the esc key, don't work as soon as I exit the game)

Is there another way?

Try setting another key to exit in RocketLauncher  for PS2, other than escape. Esc key has issues on some emulators

Well the actual exit key set is 'W'  (a key from my arcade stick),

but it needs to be recognized as 'escape' in AutoHotKey because that's the exit key for the PCSX2 and I cannot configure a different hotkey to escape within the emulator

if rocketlauncher has been setup to recognise your arcade stick you should be able to just set the global exit key to that key (the exit button on arcade stick).

Just go to exit option in rocketlauncher global, then when it asks what key to use, press the button on arcade stick you have for exit.

Then make sure PS2 exit key is set to global so it uses what you setup, or if you just want PS2 only to use this exit key then go above under PS2 exit option rather than global.

Can't understand exactly what you are trying to do or if you have set you system up differently, but generally this will work if you have a normal hyperspin/rocketlauncher setup.

If you are using the pcsx2 module in RL, its out of date. Try the attached one.

I've got multiple problems while setting up exit key in rocket global :

-first the arcade stick button is recognized as "  (i know i've wrote w before, but it was just for simplification purpose), so it launches an error at startup if I set this key.

-second, even i'm setting another char (like E), while I press it,  it exits back to hyperspin, but if i do an Alt+Tab in windows i see that the various emulator are still running behind (either mame or PCSX2), so it's a fail.

 

I've got no special setup, I've currently set up mame, nes, snes, and various system that works fine

My main exit keys (it's a combo of 2 keys) are configured in HyperHQ and works fine for those systems..

Thanks for the files, but it didn't change a thing (except that now it displays the PS2 bios intro, and that my games are now in spanish ??)

Sure: Screenshots of the problem, or of rocket launcher config?

[Creezz67]

your rocketlauncher setup for ps2, settings, main settings

[eidern]

thanks for taking your time on this anyway

set skip checks to rom & emu not false

[Creezz67]

also i would delete ahk exit info and set exit button in controls (main settings tab) for ps2

just click + button and choose your arcade button and if you want single press etc then save

[Creezz67]

add exit button here

That's where a part of the problem is : my arcade button is detected in rocket launcher as "  if I set the exit button from this

So it generates error on launch because it's an incompatible character (note that under hyperHQ the same key is detected as 3)

I've now st skip checks to rom & emu. And if i delete the ahk exit info, I cannot escape the game  (leaves the game but get the main emulator window up and running with my ahk setting, so it's not good neither.

going to work now, cannot reply before long. thanks for your time

Glad you got it working.

This is probably your issue also globally you should not change it in HyperHQ.

Set HyperHQ exit back to "Q" for P1 and "Escape" for P2

Then try setting your global controls exit button in RocketLauncher and see if it works for all other systems.
