An easy simple Module Request

[Flostingyeti]

Is there a basic module that just opens a file and sends alt+F4 for exit?

I'm aware of the PClauncher module and am using it but I was hoping for something simpler.

Short answer: No, the PCLauncher module is probably the closest to that other than the Casual Games module.

Longer answer: The way RL works that's not really feasible. RL needs to know the window title/class in order for things like fade and pause to work correctly. I could probably create a barebones module where you could specify the window title/class and command line params through module settings but it would have some caveats.

What exactly is your potential use case?

I was actually using it with RPCS3. I have the eboot.bin files associated with RPCS3 so the pclauncher launches a shortcut file to launch each game. Yes there is a proper module but I had some issues and don't want to fuss with it.

for some reason CloseMethod -> Send Alt+F4 doesn't work.

But in general this could be a good temporary option when waiting for better modules to come along, provided the emulator can auto launch when opening an associated rom.

I actually mapped Alt+F4 to my controller and it work perfectly. I have ESC as my exit key like most people (I assume). I used JoyToKey to add Alt+F4 to the same button I mapped escape so it sends ESC,ALT,F4. This is not ideal for me because while everything works, someone could accidently close my FrontEnd with the controller.

Alt + F4 is not a good solution for any module, tbh. It can cause issues with things being saved.

I haven't looked at rpcs3 in a while (Mainly because I don't have interest in emulating it because I own original hardware) but it's possible that the module could be modified to do things "correctly".

I created autohotkey entry for PlayStation 3

Esc::send !{F4}

still doesn't work.

Yes, because just like I said, Alt + F4 is a bad combo,,,

I agree with you but I still want to make it work in special cases. Is a basic module like I described not possible or something the community is unwilling to do according to preference?
