Help, mGalaxy stays on top??

[PP-Arcade]

Hmm I overlooked that "stay on top" option
When in fullscreen press F11 to get that extra option.

Thanx man, works great now! Cheers, PP

(maybe good to include this info on the mGalaxy page "emulator settings")

[Aeliss]

I haven't problem with this app. Are you sure It was in fullscreen mode ?

I m using the official script

Code: (autoit) [Select]

;Parsing
Local $count = StringInStr($CmdLineRaw, ".exe", 0 , 1, 1)
local $app = StringLeft ( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
local $command = StringTrimLeft( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
if not $command then exit 0
   
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

$PID = Run ('"' & $app & '" ' & $command)

While ProcessExists ( $PID )
   sleep(500)
WEnd

Exit 0

;functions
Func Terminate()
    While ProcessExists ( $PID )
  ProcessClose ( $PID )
    WEnd
    Exit 0
EndFunc
Look in the ppsspp configuration, there is an option like "force ppsspp stay on top"

Or try this script (But I really think it s useless)

Code: (autoit) [Select]

;Parsing
Local $count = StringInStr($CmdLineRaw, ".exe", 0 , 1, 1)
local $app = StringLeft ( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
local $command = StringTrimLeft( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
if not $command then exit 0
   
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

$PID = Run ('"' & $app & '" ' & $command)

while _WinWaitActivePID($PID)
   sleep(500)
wend


While ProcessExists ( $PID )
   sleep(500)
WEnd

Exit 0

        Local $list = WinList()
        For $i = 1 To $list[0][0]
            If $list[$i][0] <> "" And IsVisible($list[$i][1]) Then
                If WinGetProcess($list[$i][1]) = $iPid AND WinActive($list[$i][1]) Then Return $list[$i][0]
            EndIf
        Next
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func IsVisible($handle)
    If BitAND(WinGetState($handle), 2) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0

Hi, now i have the same problem with the "Playstation Portable" (PPSSPP 0.9.8 for windows)
It runs in the background while mGalaxy stays on top. (I can hear the game launching)
I tried using the same script, that didn't work.

Hope some one can help, greets PP

[PP-Arcade]

Thanx man works perfectly. 

Greets, PP

There is no danger, and I use simple syntax, lot of comment. autoit isn't really difficult.

On the next version mgalaxy will correct a problem when we close the application, so it s better to remove the last line.

Code: [Select]

;try to resolve bug
WinSetState("mGalaxy.exe","",@SW_ENABLE)
The last working version I have test is

Code: (autoit) [Select]

;Parsing
Local $count = StringInStr($CmdLineRaw, ".exe", 0 , 1, 1)
local $app = StringLeft ( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
local $command = StringTrimLeft( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
if not $command then exit 0

;Get more info
$count = StringInStr($command, '"', 0 , 1, 1)
local $link = StringTrimLeft ( $command, $count  )
$link = StringTrimRight ( $link, 1 )
Local $aDetails = FileGetShortcut($link)
If @error Then exit
local $tmp = StringSplit($aDetails[0], "\")
local $apptorun = $tmp[$tmp[0]]


;run command
;Run ('"' & $app & '" ' & $command)
ShellExecute('"' & $link & '"')

;wait for application launched with protection loop
;wait for 5 s and exit if no application found
local $protloop = 10
While not(ProcessExists($apptorun))
    $protloop = $protloop - 1
   if ($protloop < 0) then exit 0
   sleep(500)
WEnd

;try to put in front
local $PID = GetProcessPID($apptorun)
local $WinName =  ProcessGetWindow($PID)
WinSetState($WinName,"",@SW_SHOW)
WinSetState($WinName,"",@SW_ENABLE)

;wait for close
While (ProcessExists($apptorun) or (ProcessExists("cmd.exe")))
   sleep(500)
WEnd

;local $list = ProcessList("game.exe")
;if $list[0][0] > 0 Then

Tested, works perfect! 

You can mix the  2 versions or make tries by removing/replacing the ";", I can explain functions if you want to modify the script (only 2/4 functions are used, but I let them for memory)

I have no knowledge of scripts, so me modifying it is not a good idea lol.

Thanx again, PP

[Aeliss]

Yep, there is still many bugs ATM, noone of Taito X game are working with it.
This version is bug free, no danger (no infinite loop), it works for all normal game I have installed on my computer.

Tested with 3 games, works perfect!!

Thanx for the fast help.

Does it need improvements? (beta?)

This version is just a beta, sorry, but not enought time to finish it this night, I need to make something to prevent mGalaxy to stay behind when you close the application.

[PP-Arcade]

Oeps, I was to fast.

When closing the game, its stuck, like the script is endless loop.

I checked task manager and the mGalaxy_Script.exe is taking much cpu usage.

I had to end the task for getting the mGalaxy window back.

[PP-Arcade]

YES!!

Thanx for the help, it works perfect now.

1) Compile the script
2) Name it "mGalaxy_Script.exe"
3) Put it in the same folder than the application (in your case C:\Windows\System32 or any other folder where you should have copy/paste "cmd.exe" application)
4) In mGalaxy_Runway, verify that, for the chosen system, "Use script file.." is checked.

[PP-Arcade]

Hi, thanx for the response.

So I copied the code and compiled it with AutoIt(x86)
Its now "AutoIt.exe", i placed it in the system32 folder (pc games direct to cmd.exe)

Still the same.. Am I doing it right? 

[Aeliss]

Try with kind of script to test.

Hello, first of all I realy love this program! Thanx!

The problem I encounterd is after launching some pc game mGalaxy stays open.
The game does start and I can hear the sounds of the running game.
With alt-tab and select the running game it stays in the background.
I must close mGalaxy to be able to play the game.

I hope this can be fixed somehow    (sorry for the bad english)
