script wait until joy8 is pressed

[h3xl3y]

Hi
Who knows a easy way to detect when a button is pressed on the XBox360 controller in Autoit ?
the button i am interested to detect is Start (joy8 as detected in Windows)
i had this code previously to press Space on keyboard but now i need the Start button from Xbox360 controller

Code: Select all

Run( $app1 )
Do
  Sleep(1)
Until _IsPressed( "20" )      ;Space
ProcessClose( $app1 )

Any ideea ?

Code: Select all

    Local $joy,$coord,$h,$s,$msg

       $coord=_GetJoy($joy,0)

              $coord=_GetJoy($joy,0)
              Sleep(500)

Code to exit when button 7 is pressed, Not sure It work for 360 pad.

I tried several variants of that code but didn't work
maybe you can give a more specific example
i never made scripts with joy keys so maybe i missed something

Is there an easy way to do it like edit something from mGalaxy ?
from Xpadder is not working because mGalaxy recognizes my controller now
so it does not work anymore with a mGalaxy profile from Xpadder

[Aeliss]

What do you want to do with this script ?

[h3xl3y]

I have made a Splash screen that appears when i launch a game that stays paused until i press Space on keyboard and then launches the emulator.
At least that is how it did work until mGalaxy5.2
before i had Space key set on Start button (x360 pad) trough Xpadder
but now i take the x360 pad launch the game and need to press Space on keyboard before play the game.
so that is why i need to detect joy key press

here is a example of Splash screen i made

[Aeliss]

Ha nice ^^, usefull.
But I think It will be easier to modify the splash screen, it s a special application (coded by you ?)  or a script ?

Take a look here perhaps, if you use autoit > http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic ... ontroller/

[h3xl3y]

It's a aplication i found on some forum.
I don't have the code for it so cannot modify it.

i will look at that example to see if i can use it, thanks

[h3xl3y]

Ok, i got it resolved
Thanks for the link

[Aeliss]

It s an application just to made a splash screen and your have made yourself the screen, or this application made all itself for all emul ?

[h3xl3y]

The Spash.exe loads a image.png that is in the same folder with the exe.
each system need to have in folder a Splash.exe and a png image
the png i made in Photoshop for each system i want to know the controls 

i did this because if you don't use a system for a while you forget how you set the controls
and there are systems that have many more buttons than NES

if you want i can make a short video to see it in action

[Aeliss]

Yep, I m totally agree with you. But in fact, it s not the splash function that draws me, because I use the "note" window function in mGalaxy to remember the command but your image.
It s really nice, I realy like the design, I think I will take your image and edit it for all other system.

Aeliss,

I had some spare time this WE and wrote a little application to help generate such a diagram.
If it does interest you I'll post it here!
You get a base image of an XBOX360 controller, you then fill the fields and choose a picture of the "emulated" controller...the application export the resulting image to a png file.
Here is a sample of the output file:

[Aeliss]

Nice ^^.
And I think we aren't alone interested by this util.

Just 3 suggestions.
Have you an exemple for the more classic "emulated" controller, I m really bad with photoshop (I had too much problem just for convert the system image to icon file).
I really like the h3xl3y design, the background is perhaps "too much" but the button and numeric pad visual presentation is perfect for me.
I think it will be useful to export the result in rtf format too (to use it directly on mGalaxy, I don't think all users can make the rtf file with the png), I have take a look on a rtf file with an image and I think It isn't hard to make. Or more harder, integrate your application inside mGalaxy and make it generating your png with ini/xml file inside the system folder.

And yes I m interested by your app and ofc I can help if you are interested by my request and if it s need to much time (for convertion, I m a noob for picture)

[h3xl3y]

Is good if you can make them automatic but i am planning to use "Note" menu for systems info and i already have created the splash screen for almost all systems i want to use.

[Aeliss]

Yep, from my memory there isn't yet front end with this functionnality and on system like n64, I m sure I m not alone who don't remember the command.
