Hello!
I am attempting to setup Dolphin to run from a frontend, because my goal is to have my MAME arcade cabinet be able to load Smash Bros Melee/Brawl. I've got it working for the most part except for one minor annoyance.. exitting back to the frontend.
The goal: At any point within a game, press a single button (Esc, in this case) and Dolphin will completely and seamless close (no Windows programs showing at all) back to the Frontend.
Current situation: I've got it going pretty close. Using the /b command line option, it appears to be loading up seamlessly into the game I pass to it (with the /e option). If I press Esc at this point, it closes back to the frontend successfully.
However, in the case I stated above, I'll be starting up Smash Bros Melee and/or Brawl. If I startup a match and press the Esc key at this point, it no longer closes. In fact, I have to hit Alt+Tab to get to the Dolphin GUI and close it there. And once I click Exit, Dolphin actually crashes. This is completely undesirable because the end goal is to not show any traces of Windows to the screen at any point.
Anyone have any advice on this? I saw a feature request that had something similar and it states it as "fixed", but I am unsure what the fix is. I have confirmed that my configuration has Escape set as the Stop key. Like I said, it works when the game firsts launches, but once you start a match it stops working.
