Exit application with MCE remote

KoktGrus · 2007-04-27, 02:31

I use to play PSX and N64-emulators, launched from MediaPortal...
Since these emulator don't have support for any "hot-key" for exit, I would like to know if anybody has any idea how to exit, without any need to use a keyboard...

My thought was that i could exit the application with a ALT+F4-command mapped to the "back"-button on my MCE remote...

Is this possible? In MP i of course want the back-button to be "regular" again, i just want this command for the emus...

Any ideas??

You'd need to use something like HIP or Girder to control other applications.

I recommend HIP because it is easy to use and free.

Girder can do more, but has a steep learning curve and is a paid for product.

Good luck,

i tried HIP, but got some wierd double clicks =S

then i tried Girder, that worked as it should, i just couldn't find where to give a executable file a specific profile for the remote? Do anybody know how?
