Default Setting to disable DirectInput when MediaPortal doesn't have focus

Hi,
I really like the many control opportunities MediaPortal has to offer, the program launchers and the project in general.
However, I use the same Gamepad to control mediaportal and to play emulator games (Playstation with CD drive and SNES with ROMs). This way, if I open them from MP, they are opened, and as soon as I press X/B in the game, another instance of the emulator is opened, crashing both and forcing me to use PC input devices, which is not fun if I am in front of the TV playing and I have to go up to deactivate a small error message.
So I'm asking if there could be some checkbox to prevent MediaPortal from recieving commands while not being focussed.

hello Fat D

I also lunch my roms with a gamepad, but i have not such a problem. Which version of MP and which plugin are you using for starting the emus?

If it is MyPrograms by waeberd be sure you have checked the "Wait for Exit" box.

regards

I use EasyApps because I can't find a setting where you don't launch a file in myprograms. However, with SNES this might be useful. Thanks.
