How to change exit keys for mame?

[Cuba]

Hope this is a question with a simple answer....

I cant figure out how to reassign the exit combination keys that make gameex terminate mame.

Ive figured out how to reassign the exit keys for emulators other than mame. For example, I have zsnes exit by using joypad keys 1+2+7+8, and it works just fine. The configfile took a little work but isnt too difficult.

But I couldnt find any files that would allow me to change the mame exit keys. Up+left+4+5+6 is easy to mash on a joypad if someone is playing Marvel vs Capcom (or any other frantic fighter).

I could assign the exit combination within mames control file, but that wont change gameex's terminating key sequence.

Am I missing something?

Hi Cuba, is that Cuba from old. ie Yahoo groups?

Anyway, sorry, your not missing anything. GameEx does not have that functionality right now.

Cheers.

Yup, I was posting in the yahoo groups back during version 2ish, I believe I was one of the first people who requested support for mame32plus (which I might add still works beautifully to this day.) Im still running that build on one of my earlier arcade machines

Thanks for the quick reply to my question. I guess for now there is nothing that can be done. But perhaps in the future you could include an advanced configfile for mame, allowing the same functionality as the other emulator setups? If not that, then some way to disable the default exit command (mame only) because you can easily remap the exit within mame to specific buttons.

Anyway, just a request, and no rush. GameEx has come a long way, and im looking forward to future builds; TV tuner functionality will be incredible!

Keep up the good work, and thanks again!
