Can't exit an emulator with set keys in rocketlauncher

[forzalot]

Hey guys,

 

I'm sorry for this beginner question, but I'm going crazy over here trying to figure this out. So far I have hyperspin and rocketlauncher working well with my xarcade tankstick. I have my tankstick reconfigured with a custom set of keyboard buttons that are just letters and numbers.

 

I am trying to set up rocketlauncher so that when I click two buttons on my tankstick, my emulators exit. Nothing seems to be working. Everything else works well. I can navigate through hyperspin fine, going into and out of wheels. I can launch all my games. But when I try to use the configured exit buttons that I have defined in rocketlauncher, the game continues to run.

 

At this current time, my rocketlauncher exit key is defined as:

 

~T & ~Numpad9 

 

Those correspond to two buttons I have mapped on my tankstick.

 

Nothing exits. I have tried a million different combos without success. Am I missing something? Is there anything else I need to check off or click in order to get the rocketlauncher exit keys to work in hyperspin??

 

Please help!! I'm ready to pull my hair out!!

 

Thanks,

forzalot

First question would be did you type "~T & ~Numpad9 " yourself as the exit emulator keys as they don'y normally show up as that . Once you set them up the "`" goes away.

I've tried both typing them in AND hitting the buttons on my joystick that I programmed at "t" and "9". Doesn't seem to make a difference.

Try holding down numpad nine while pressing t. If that doesn't work try holding down t while pressing numpad nine.

 

I used to have a combination like this set up as my exit key before on my x-arcade using different keys. And in my case I had to hold down the second button while pressing the first button to exit games. Now I just use the player 2 start button held down for two seconds to exit games. I think it's a better solution.

That doesn't seem to work either Dime333. I have tried holding the buttons and tapping them like crazy. It's as if I never changed the exit key configuration from escape, because everything quits smoothly when I finally give up on my defined exit keys and hit escape.

Try this:

 

H2000:m

 

Replace the m with the button that you want to use. I recommend using the Player 2 start button. I have never encountered a situation that requires that button to be held down in a game. This will quit the emulator when holding down that button for 2 seconds.

See if that works.

Thanks for your continued help Dime333, but that doesn't work either. I've tried hold, double taps, triple taps, multiple keys, single keys. Nothing shows any signs of communicating with the emulators on hyperspin. There nothing else that needs to be clicked or checked off in order for those hotkeys to be run? 

[Dime333]

Sorry. I'm out of ideas.

Would setting RocketLauncher and HyperSpin as admin make a difference?

 

Post your RL log set to troubleshooting level or you may need to ask over at the RL site.

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up doing a fresh reinstall of everything and I think i may have had rocket launcher installed wrong at some point along the way because now it works perfectly. Thanks again for all the help, you guys are awesome.
