[RESOLVED] Turn off button combo for exit? and hide game info on launch?

[Venomouse]

Hey guys, Im running the latest GameEx and I'm very happy with it so far.

I am having the following issues:-

Q1

When my one player start and two player start are pressed together (or in close proximity to each other) I'm dumped out of mame back to the gameEx screen.

This is the current mapping

P1 Start - 1

P2 Start - Page Down

I tried different mapping and same issue persists (not a fun error in a hectic 2 player game when we both have to continue at the same time

Is there a way to disable this all together? or remap to my keyboard?

Q2

When launching a Mame game is there a way to go straight into it without the disclaimers / info popping up? I did set options to turn this off, maybe im missing something?

Q3

Spose Ill ask this too Is there anyway to setup auto save states eg every 5 mins?

Thankyou

Take a look in the "imput" section of GameEx Config Wizard.

There are some keys set up by default.

Just click the "..." button and click clear.

And its done !

But to exit you will need to press the ESC key.

I think that on the advanced mame settings there's an option to do that.

Take a look on it, because right now I can't remember.

In GameEx, no you can't do this.

But using Eventghost maybe you can achieve this.

Eventghost creates system events based on certain conditions.

So, you can create a script that sends the "Save State" command to your emulator, if this emulator is running.

Google Eventghost and you will find the software.

Thankyou, I tried removing all the global exit keys and it still does it

Manually set some global exit keys, which work but the player 1 and 2 buttons together still exit.

Here is my ini file maybe it will help?

Also is there a way top foce video (ie avi and mp4 playback) to go full screen?

You have been very helpful thus far

Sorry I missed this topic...

You can easily compile your own version of MAME to do this.

awesome, just need the starts to stop kicking me out now

On my IPAC board, Start 1 & Start 2 is the same as pressing escape, but it's reprogrammable. Perhaps your controller is the same. Start 1 presses KB1, but also acts as a kind of shift key, allowing access to other key codes.

[Venomouse]

yup ipac4, would say thats the issue, how does one reprogram it (Win ipac?) and what do I do to say stop it (I know how to reassign keys etc)

[Venomouse]

lol sorted, show shifted keys and yues player 2 was set as escape

thankyou all
