[RESOLVED] Demul exiting in GameEX

[Yarselph]

Hi Everyone,

I have been searching the forums but if this was discussed previously, I can't seem to find it. I have Demul running for some of my lightgun games.

I got it launching properly, got LEDblinky working, and its great. However, I have one issue. Once the game is running, my 'Exit' button doesn't leave the game.

I have my Exit button mapped to "~" to prevent people from exiting GameEx, and in other emulators I can specify the exit alternatively to the ESC key.

But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to send an exit command to Demul!

I am using version 5.7 as the other version dont seem to work properly with the lightguns.

So if anyone knows how to do this, or can send me the link in the forums to the thread where this is resolved, I would appreciate the answer!

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Yarselph

When you have a moment would you please post a copy of your Emulator Config for Demul? It's likely that your full GameEx config and your GameEx log will also be able to provide some valuable information in regards to this issue. Please report to the Help thread for details on how to access and post those files.

Been ages since I touched all my emulator settings so can't check atm. However, few ideas:

Is Demul one of those "double escape" to exit emulators? Seem to remember one like this. If so - easy - theres a setting somewhere to send another key (in this case Esc) after a wait. Their will be more details somewhere

Sorry if this is a wild goose chase. I really should be more helpful with emu setups etc, but not spending a lot of time on that aspect at the moment.

Good luck, brother.

Hello Yarselph,

I tried my Demul 0.582 settings in GameEx. I just exit with escape, no problem at all.

However in your Emulator Setup Section of the SetupWizard, there is the "map keys" option. If it is set to "yes" and escape is pressed, then the application will close and focus will return to GameEx: http://www.gameex.info/wiki/index.php/GameEx:Emulator_Setup_%28Setup_Wizard%29#Map_Keys

That are at least my settings that work. So I think your problem has to do with the "~" as a escape button. I wouldnt even know, how you have achieved this in GameEx .

Also check the Input Section of the Setupwizard: http://www.gameex.info/wiki/index.php/GameEx:Input_Settings_%28Setup_Wizard%29#Global_Exit

the "global escape key exit" is by default set to true. Maybe your setup with "~" will work, if you turn this function off.

good luck

Ok that was it! Changing the in the Input the Exit combo to just the "~" fixed the issue. Now thinking about it it was a pretty obvious fix. LOL Thank you so much!
