Mgalaxy minimized when closing emulator.

Maybe it's something that I have set up wrong but about half of the time, when I close an emulator (regardless of which one) mgalaxy is minimized to the taskbar and has to be clicked on or alt+tabbed to maximize it again. Wouldn't be a problem but I plan on using it for a cabinet and don't want to have to pull the keyboard out all the time.

When you say "half of the time" do you mean that for the SAME emulator, one time mGalaxy will get the focus back, one time it will not!?

Yeah, it seems random. It's most common with mame but does it with other emulators as well.

Have you some other application working in background ? (For joypad for exemple)

Yes, I have JoytoKey running in the background.

I have it too, I don't think the problem come from it.

Been playing with this some more, seems like it happens most with fceux. I have it configured to close with the escape key ran through joytokey.

I have exactly this same problem. I only use MAME as an emulator. When I escape to exit out of a game, mGalaxy is often minimized and I have to open it back up. Any way to force it to stay maximized in the backround?

Nothing else running in the background. I'd say when I exit a game, mGalaxy is minimized more often than not.

Here is a beta to download and test. This is a portable one (so, don't put it in 'ProgramFiles'), you can just extract it...and run it!
Of course, please report here, thanks!
