Use AutoHotkey to launch a game in an emulator - autohotkey

Question

I want to create an .ahk script, that launches a game with an emulator. When the emulator is opened, it should send F10 to load a save state to get me directly to the game menu and jump the intros. This is what i got so far:
Run, C:\Users\****\Documents\!Others\Emulators\SNES9x\snes9x-x64.exe -fullscreen "E:\Consoles\Nintendo SNES\Goof Troop\Goof Troop.smc"
Sleep, 100
IfWinExist ahk_class Snes9X: WndClass
{
WinActivate
WinWaitActive
IfWinActive ahk_class Snes9X: WndClass
Send, {F10}
Return
}
I want to make sure that F10 is sent in the right time. The script should wait for the emulator to open first, am I doing it right?
Another thing that i have no idea on how to do, is to convert Xinput to Keyboard, for example when I am in-game and press LB + RB + B it converts it to ALT+F4 and closes the window, how can I do this?

Answer 1

The way i do is, suppose if the name of the emulator process is snes9x-x64.exe, then
processName := "snes9x-x64.exe"
run %processName%
flag = 0
Loop
{
WinGetTitle, title, ahk_exe %processName%
IfWinActive, %title%
{
If flag = 0
{
Send, {F10}
flag = 1
}
}
}
here once the emulator is opened we will check whether the window is active in a loop and then send F10 and stop the loop once the window is active using a flag.
And for the LB + RB + B, you will have to use a keyboard simulator like xpadder and map the keys LB,RB and B to keyboard keys and define a shortcut for that.
