Disable the GUI on exit for XBMC

Disable the GUI on exit for XBMC
Is it possible to add a command line that can be used to will disable the GUI where game selection screen or the option to quit when you hit escape.
This would be perfect for XBMC.
Currently I press ESC to exit the game it bring me back to the menu. I have to hit ESC again to get back in XBMC.

RE: Disable the GUI on exit for XBMC
If you're on Windows, start PPSSPP with --escapeexitsemu and it'll make the emulator quit whenever you press escape, regardless of menus and whatnot. If you're not (i.e. you're on Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, etc.), there's no way currently. Once I'm done with the OSK rewrite, I'll look at making this option available for all platforms.

Here's a (slightly outdated, I need to update it soon) list of command-line args you can give PPSSPP on Windows: http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?...8#pid48698

RE: Disable the GUI on exit for XBMC
I tried the --escapeexitemu however it partially worked. I was able to exit the game and when it did it produced an error message.

Thank you for considering this feature.

I thought it would be as easy as...

Creating a check box Exit to GUI

When your in the sub menu when you first hit esc, check to see
if checked
Return to GUI
Else
Close program

But I guess nothing is as easy as it seem.

I'll patiently wait for the feature.

Thanks again for doing this.

RE: Disable the GUI on exit for XBMC
What was the error message? If it's producing an error message, that's a bug that needs to be fixed.

I'll get that error message for you tonight.
Is there any important information you need about my specs.
I guess for now I'm running Windows 7 64bit.

The same message I get when I use File=>Exit(I don't get any errors if I close the window but the File=>Exit was always giving me this message)

Quote:SHUTDOWN ERROR
---------------------------
Release device context failed.
---------------------------
OK

and now there is another new one

Quote:Warning
---------------------------
Wait for EmuThread timed out.
---------------------------
Yes No

I posted about this somewhere long time ago but I didn't get any answer...the File=>Exit code is different than the one for pressing the X button on the window

RE: Disable the GUI on exit for XBMC
Should be fixed if/when https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/pull/5838 is merged. It should be fixed now. Grab the newest git build once it's up. Smile Also, it's not really as simple as never showing the in-window GUI, since the majority of the settings are actually in there, and not in the Windows menu bar. Most of them used to be in the menu bar, but it got so cluttered that it took forever to find anything. It made more sense to have a more settings option and use your mouse + mouse wheel (or controller/keyboard, either way) to find what you need quickly. If we had an option to let the user disable the in-window GUI entirely, we'd probably get "bug reports" that the screen is only black until they select a game, or when they press escape to try and change settings. Also, the GUI runs on the same thread as the emulation itself (hence why the game pauses when you go back into the in-window menus), so it's still not so easy to just disable that and only run the emulation.

RE: Disable the GUI on exit for XBMC
Just a friendly heads up, as of 0.9.8-507-gc24886f, the option changed from --escapeexitsemu to --escape-exit. It also works on Linux and Mac, now.

RE: Disable the GUI on exit for XBMC
As I mentioned above, you can find a list here, but it's a bit outdated, since I haven't checked to see lately if we've added or removed any, aside from --escape-exit:

Btw this is off topic but wasn't there a feature by which if you add some find in the ppsspp directory with path inside,you can set different location for the memstick folder?

Yeah, but it's best to keep on-topic. You can PM me that question if you want, and I'll direct you from there.

RE: Disable the GUI on exit for XBMC
Sorry to bring this back up... I downloaded the latest version on Sunday of PPSSPP and I noticed even though I changed nothing XBMC ( --escapeexitsemu "%ROM%") when I hit ESC it bring you back to the game menu and I click Exit it brings to back to the game select in PPSSPP. I'm not sure what has chanced since but hitting ESC doesn;t bring you out of the game and back to XBMC.

Guess you missed my post above? Smile

It won't change again after this. I renamed it since the option name before was stupidly long and unreadable.
