autostart xpadder with set 2....set 3 etc....

Post by Vicman »

Hi all,
i want to use xpadder in combination with the emulator-frontend Gamebase.

My questioin is :
Is it possible to autostart an xpadder-profile with set 2 or set 3 etc. ?

let me explain the problem :
for example, i want to make a profile for the emulator "philips g7000" (odyssey2) :
Now i'll create a new profile : lets call it "Profile 1"

in Profile 1, Set 1 : I'll set up my Gamepad for the Game XXX
in Profile 1, Set 2 : I'll set up my Gamepad for the Game YYY
in Profile 1, Set 3 : ........etc......

So, i can set up eight Philips G7000 Games in one Profil.

Is it now possible to autostart an xpadder-profile (via comandline) with set 2/set3.....?

In the Frontend Gamebase, we can use a GEMUS-Script, to autostart the xpadder with the profile "XYZ"....,
but i always starts with set 1 of the profile...

GEMUS Script :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Key_usejoystick CONTAINS(*)
If Key_usejoystick CONTAINS(yes||1||on||true)
If Control = JoyPort2
Run_Program(%dbpath%\..\Xpadder\Xpadder.exe||"%jsprofile_value%"||nowait)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any idea ? is this possible (also/only in a "buying" - Version of xpadder)

regards,
Vicman

I added AutoProfile window title watching for this very reason. Most emulators show the current game in the emulator window title bar. Xpadder can autoload a profile based on that window title. This allows you to add different AutoProfiles for different games even though they are all using the same emulator exe.

This feature was added in one of the latest Xpadder versions so it is only available on the homepage. If this feature doesn't do the job for you then as a buyer you can suggest new features!

Thanks for you reply ;-)

But the "AutoProfile window title watching - Feature" would not work here....
The windows title is always O2EM v1.18 :cry: , doesn't matter wich game is loaded....

maybe you can add a comandline for this problem....'cause i think many emulators (for "old" computers/consoles) will not work with title watching ;)
(also DosBox, 'cause the name here is often "Game" or "Loader" aso.)

anyway, your xpadder is a superb application ! Thanks for this.
