[mythtv-users] Strange problem with MythGame, Qjoypad, and emulators

Hi,
I have setup a couple of emulators on my mythbox. I am setting each
emulator with its own qjoypad configuration. I also have a
configuration for mythtv. To make all this work I have created a couple
of scripts (example follows):
#!/bin/sh
qjoypad "playstation" &
/usr/local/games/pSX/pSX $1
qjoypad "mythfrontend" &
The intent is to load the appropriate qjoypad configuration before the
emulator starts and then return it to the myth configuration once the
emulator stops. Seems simple enough.... But I am having an issue --
when I exit the emulator, it is immediately restarted and continues in
this infinite loop (I will either go into a terminal and kill the
emulator or do a ctrl-alt-backspace). Does anyone know why this
happens?

BTW: I also figured out how to make pc games look like the emulators
(ie: pc -> s -> supertux). Create a player with type other (I called
mine PC Games) and have the command be to run a simple script like so:
#!/bin/sh
exec $1
For the rom directory, create a folder with scripts for the games you
want started (for me it looks like the first script I presented) and use
the directory for the rom directory. Scan games.
