Back to windows when exiting a WHDload game launched via Game Center

26 January 2016, 12:31

Hi All,

Any idea how to prevent the emulator to often go back to Windows when quitting a game launched using Game Center?

Does anyone experience the same pb (actually having this issue with both adf and whdload games, but more frequently with whdload games

) ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, does this only happen when playing with gamepad/joysticks?

Well, I didn't try with keyboard, only with the joystick for now. Will make some tries with keyboard only.

I've done more tests, and it happens very randomly, using keyboard or joystick...
I've activated the log recording, and compared the generated log files when it correctly returns the GC Brower, when I quit the GC brower by myself, and when it unexpectedly returns to Windows after exiting a game.
In the 2 last cases, logs are identical. It looks like that it traps the same "quit application" signal as If I had willingly quit the GC browser, even if I didn't.

Hi, it looks like a bug/problem where the Arcade UI is "active" in the background while FS-UAE runs. I.e. it receives gamepad events, and it is (probably) possible to navigate to the close button in the background and activate it. If so, the arcade does not close at the same time a FS-UAE, instead, it has already been closed sometime earlier.

(But this does not explain any issues related to using (only) keyboard as emulated joystick, because the arcade will not get keyboard events in the background. Are you sure this happens when *only* using keyboard-emulated joystick?)

You're right, don't seem to encounter the pb when using keyboard as emulated joystick only. Is an issue will be raised about that?
Thanks.
