The Current Version of KeyFront is1.3.8
 
 

A Few IMPORTANT Words From the Author:

Well well.. It seems that there are people who use KeyFront... at least one.. That means I'll update it..
Well.. actually I may be remaking it in C++.. there are alot more things I can do with it in C++..
Plus.. I'll be able to track programs I open... better.. Such as ohh SnesKey9x.. You see VB returns
a handle to a program when it runs one... it just returns the wrong handle... and as some of you may have noticed
This causes KeyFront to not be able to close the program..  You see KeyFront has to search down the SnesKey9x
window... and sometimes it gets confused... but C++ returns the correct handle.. plus I'll be able to not have to front end
SnesKey9x..  I don't have a problem.. with SnesKey9x(not completly true) or Benji York(not completley true)... well
Benji.. as you may have noticed hasnt updated SnesKey9x for a while.. but I did contact him... and told him about the
CPU usage problem.. and he said he should of known and that he would correct it.. which tells me he is working on it
but he is probubly a busy person.. and just doesn't have the time to update it all the time(just specualtin here)
Well I'm tired of waiting.. And It's always been sort of a dream for me to write and Snes Adapter Software. that actually
reads the snes and does the key emulation... the new program will be called GenieKeys(thats if I make it)
I wanted a name for it.. and Scooby-Doo was on the toob.. and I heard Jenkys.. and well.. you do the math..
GenieKeys.. can currently read from the controller and emulate the keys.. it works great!
And it works with DirectInput as well.. unlike an unamed companies controller that I bought for $40
(I wanted the analog control on it).. I'm gunna message them about it.. tell em how to do it right..
And maybee they can tell me how they do the DOS program emulation..
GenieKeys doesn't work with Dos Progs.. so Im lookin for a way to do this..
GenieKeys.. also is only configured for 1 hard wired setting and is in like .000000Alpha version.
I mean it.. but It does have the begining and all I have to do is Make an interface.. and
Key Storage settings.. and still FrontEnd SnesKey.. (Lots todo!! I mean it)
Im not being sarcastic!! No really I'm not!! I hate it when this happens!!
The more I try and be serious the more it sounds sarcastic!!
Well anyaways.. I'll work on it.. and update you all on my progress..
For now... I wrote way more than I meant too.. and Thanx Dan.

As you may have noticed.. if you have visited here before.. I have updated this page some.. but not much.. and let me start by saying.. My E-Mail address is [email protected]
I'm telling you this because I haven't gotten one E-Mail about KeyFront.. and if this continues on.. Then it's obvious that I don't really need to waste my time making this page.. maybee not even updateing KeyFront..  I'm not trying to be threatining.. but If it doesn't look like anyone at all cares about KeyFront I'm not gunna waste my time with it.. It's just pointless to do so..  Infact the only reason I even thought about updating this page was that one of my friends asked me for the newest version.. and I thought it'd be nice to link to the Snes Pad Support Site.  I know there isn't much more info.. but like I said I just came in here to link to the Snes Pad Support Site.. and getting no E-Mails doesn't exactly get me pumped obout the program.. Infact it makes me wonder if anyone is using it.. or if anyone has come to this page.. as far as I know the only people who are seeing this are my 2 friends who use this software..
