That script makes perfect sense but for whatever reason when I close XBMC, nomousy and taskbarhider do not run. Seems as though the If Not ProcessExists tag is not working at all. Is it possible to do with the ProcessWaitClose tag instead? I have gotten that to work in the past but again not sure how to structure it for multiple process (XBMC and AutoIt).

(2012-07-19, 08:06)chris295 Wrote: One of the applications I was having trouble with the switch back to XBMC was ePSXe. When running ePSXe, especially with pre-rendered backgrounds and text and such, it is best to run in 640x480 display mode. When my script calls for ePSXe to close and XBMC to restart, XBMC is in 640x480 display mode. I have tried the dccmd utility, but unless something is wrong with my script it doesn't seem to work.

(2012-07-19, 08:06)chris295 Wrote: Another problem I'm having is that the images don't seem to mount. The file will run but when I tab out of ePSXe and check my virtual drive, the cuesheet has not been loaded. When using HyperSpin's AHK module, I can tab from HyperSpin and see the cuesheet mounted in the virtual drive. I think I have done something wrong.

Here is the code:

Code:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then
    ProcessClose ( "XBMC.exe" )
    RunWait('"C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -mount scsi, 0,"' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', @SW_HIDE)
    RunWait ('"G:\xbmc\games\ps\ePSXe.exe" -nogui -slowboot -loadiso "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', "", @SW_HIDE)
    RunWait('"C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -unmount scsi, 0', @SW_HIDE)
    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndIf

Func Terminate()
    ProcessClose ( "ePSXe.exe" )
    RunWait('"C:\Program Files (x86)\12noon Display Changer\dccmd.exe -width=1920 -height=1080"', @SW_HIDE)
    ProcessWait ("dccmd.exe")
    Run ( '"C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\XBMC.exe"' )
    Exit 0
EndFunc

You cannot really use here the ProcessWaitClose() here because you must stay into an infinite loop where XMBC.exe and launcher.exe could be closed. The If Not ProcessExists() seems working here, because you are able to exit from the while loop. Have you really renamed all your launcher autoit script as launcher.exe? And have you change your Advanced Launcher applications parameters in concequences? Because is you are able to exit the while loop, that mean that XBMC.exe and launcher.exe are not runnig at the same time. Your problem could be related to your launcher.exe script : for example the XBMC process may not have have enough time to really start when the launcher.exe process is closed... Maybe adding a ProcessWait() at the and of the launcher.exe script will solve the problem :

Code:

...
Run ( '"C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\XBMC.exe"' )
ProcessWait ("XBMC.exe")
Exit 0
...

You also do not have to use the RunWait() function to start the emulator. This function is to run an external program and to pause script execution until the program finishes. You also need to unmount the ISO when exiting the script, so... it must be located into the Terminate() function. Finally your ProcessWait ("dccmd.exe") line had no sens because you previously pause the scrip until dccmd.exe was closed. Try this script :

Code:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then
    ProcessClose ( "XBMC.exe" )
    RunWait('"C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -mount 0,"' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', @SW_HIDE)
    Run('"G:\xbmc\games\ps\ePSXe.exe" -nogui -cdrom <letter>', "", @SW_HIDE)
    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndIf

Func Terminate()
    ProcessClose ( "ePSXe.exe" )
    RunWait('"C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -unmount 0', @SW_HIDE)
    RunWait('"C:\Program Files (x86)\12noon Display Changer\dccmd.exe -width=1920 -height=1080"', @SW_HIDE)
    Run ( '"C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\XBMC.exe"' )
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Where <letter> is the drive letter where is mounted you ISO file with Deamon Tools.

I've tried <H> <H:> and <H:\>. I searched ePSXe command line utilities and found this post which claims that the -cdrom parameter is not usable.

I was therefore wondering if there was any insight that could be gained from the section of the log below, similar logs occur during the loading of any directory.

Thought I would ask here first but suspect it is a xbmc issue rather than an advanced launcher specific issue p.s. I do have the complete snes rom set in there if that could be slowing it down..
