Dear all I'm trying to write a script to get screenshots for all my mame games. I'm using 'xte' from the 'xautomation' package to make the computer do the 'hard' work for me: I just need to run xmame, press "ok" to bypass the copyright notice, wait a few seconds, press any key, and press F12 to create the screenshot.
the problem is that xmame.x11 doesn't seems to receive my event. I tried xmame.sdl also with the same (bad) luck. >From the xautomation package: "The control interface allows mouse movement, clicking, button up/down, key up/down, etc, and uses the XTest extension so you don't have the annoying problems that xse has when apps ignore sent events." this is what I'm running: xmame.x11 -L -nograbkeyboard -video-mode 0 -snapshot_directory /tmp/ -rp ./ 40love.zip and, in other xterm sleep 3; xte -x :9 "str ok" "key Return" I use the 'sleep 3' so I focus the xmame window, before xte is called I've also tried this but focusing firefox location bar and the thing works great. any hints? Does xmame.x11 access the keyboard in any special way? can you give me some hints on why this is not working? thanks! _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
