That’s right. Just change it. You can also change the time too.

AHK script files for download!                                    (not sure I've posted this in the right place though)

Thanks to Bubs and one of the guys on the ahk forum, these two scripts will put an end to the video sound problem where the sounds play in the background after the game has started (Window.ahk)  if you wiggle a joystick as its loading etc.   A problem that has annoyed me for ages!

Drop the "Window.ahk" into the rocketlauncher folder  -  Lib / Classes / Util / uni          and replace the one that's there.  You can always backup the original one.

The HoldEnter.ahk file is a script that holds down the "ENTER" key for 5 seconds.  This is extremely good for when starting games as it cancels out any other keystrokes as your game is loading, which causes the above problem and also if you use LED Blinky, it stops LED Blinky from going nuts and reverting back to the hyperspin menu state after the game has loaded.  You could always modify this in notepad to whatever key you use if you dont use "ENTER"    

Download and install "Auto Hot Key" below then just put the HoldEnter.ahk somewhere on your HD.  I made a copy of this and then dropped it into the Startup folder so this script starts AutoHotKey when windows starts and stays open in background.  

 

Enjoy

Window.ahk

HoldEnter.ahk

Awesome! I'll give it a shot! Thanks!

So just to be clear... you use ENTER to start a game, correct? I use 1 for the HS "enter" command, so I should change the script to use the 1 key?

[Martin0037]

Just make sure the .ahk type of files are set to open with auto hot key  or it won’t startup when windows boots up

Cool solution to a niggly problem.

 

@ninja2bceen may like to cover this in a video?

Could you upload it to the files section under 3rd Party tools

[Martin0037]

No probs

I don't understand. Would you mind fully describing?

Sorry...  predictive txt.  What I meant was if your wanting the hold enter script to start automatically when windows boots up make sure this type of file is set to open up with the auto hot key program (right click, open with, then choose auto hot key)

Awesome!

Great job tracking down a solution!

[griffin518]

So I don't use "enter" in my setup for any action. Should I change the key in the script to something else? For example, I use "1" in HS and all of my emulators to enter wheels and start games.

[Martin0037]

Yes. Just change the script where “enter” is for whatever you use. 

Should be able to edit the script in notepad. 

[griffin518]

Seems to be working on my end! I'll keep testing and circle back if I'm able to reproduce the sound issue. Nice work!

[Dime333]

Thank you very much for this. I do have an issue with the window.ahk file though. Sometimes when a game has loaded, every single button on my controller produces the windows "Ding" sound. This seems to happen randomly. I'm not sure if it's only when using Cemu, but that's where I have noticed the issue.

[Martin0037]

That’s weird. I’ve not had this at all.  What controls are you using?

Bubs may be able to help here...

what is cemu?

[Dime333]

I'm using an XBOX one controller and XPadder. Cemu is a Wii U emulator.

[Martin0037]

Ok.  Tberyre all alien to me as I only use mame and an ipac keyboard encoder.  

Id say it sounds like somthing to do with xpadder as I’ve never had this problem...

maybe someone else on here can chime in? 

[Martin0037]

Is this working for everyone? Any fails?

ill post this in the downloads section if someone can show me where.. don’t wanna dump it in wrong place?
