Using AHK with the Nestopia gaming emulator

[nitsik]

I'm adding keys to the Nestopia emulator for keyboard control. Then I try to emulate a keypress using ahk, but nothing happens. By the way, if you try to turn on the ahk script while adding a key using the “set” button, the key is not added either. I use the code "Send, {A}" for example, and "Sleep, 5000", to switch to the game.
If I use this code in notepad, then I get the letter A printed in notepad. If during the game I press A, then my action is triggered. But ahk doesn’t work. Why?
How can you control the game using ahk? Thank you.

Try to run the script as admin.

Generally, sending keys to games can be tricky and often involves trial-and-error. Some other things to try, if the above doesn't work:
Why do Hotstrings, Send, and Click have no effect in certain games?

But there are no guarantees that a specific game (or emulator) will cooperate.

Thank you, "SetKeyDelay, 0,100" helped me.

But I can't do a super kick. To do this, press Down, Left, l. But no matter what delays I set, the super kick does not work. Although it works from the keyboard. What can you recommend?
