.bat File Problem

Post by Darth_Z13 »

I received Guitar Hero 3 for Christmas, and, quickly attempted to hook up the guitar controller to my computer to use with Frets on Fire. After some searching, I found a program (JoyToKey) that would map the guitar keys to keyboard keys, and that worked. :)

However, I found it annoying to navigate to the JoyToKey folder everytime I wanted to play Frets on Fire. So I sought a way to opening both programs from one icon. It came to me at that point to use a batch file.

I surfed a few tutorials, and I've got my bat. file working up until FoF opens... it then starts, then crashes. :P

However, JoyToKey opens no problem whatsoever. Here's my file:

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
COLOR 42
ECHO.
ECHO Do you have the Guitar Hero controller plugged in?
ECHO.
PAUSE
CLS
START C:\Games\jtk374en\JoyToKey.exe
ECHO.
ECHO Has JoyToKey started?
ECHO.
PAUSE
CLS
START C:\Games\fretsonfire\FretsOnFire.exe
EXIT
And the error log FoF generates:

Code: Select all

Try starting them both yourself and see whats the problem, I could easily fix it as its in python but since I don't have the source code. Anyways just try running them both on your own. If that doesn't work then shoot me the program?

Ok we got this solved. He need the "start in" part of it. So I suggested running two shortcuts to the exe's with the bat and it worked.
