[RESOLVED] Gameex - Setup Gamebase 64 ESC button exit game

[pisuke]

Good evening. I ve iinstalled gamebase 64 v14 in my cabinet with gameex. there is a problem (that i ve read in another closed thread) about exit... in gamebase frontend the esc button il related to block run , used in c64 to start a lot of games using WinVice2.4

So i am searching a way to exit from the game ... someone suggest to edit the c64 .ini file in the emulator . thanks for any reply.

I suppose the problem is related to these files but i dont understand how to modify.

 

KeymapSymFile="win_sym_us.vkm" 
KeymapPosFile="win_pos.vkm" 
KeymapSymDeFile="win_sym_de.vkm" 

here there is an explication... but it's too dificult for me... what file do i have to edit to solve my problem?

Ok after 2 hours of "thinking" the maze is more simple:

MODIFY win_pos.VKM (in the winvice\c64 folder) (or in the folder of your interest)

considering the numbers ex.    1 2 3 4     esc > run stop -------------- means that if you press Esc on your keyboard in the emulator you have run /stop action

evaluating another button ex   5 6 7 4     tab > ctrl          --------------- meand that if you press Tab on your keyboard in the emulator you have ctrl pressed

 

you have to modify this way:

 

====================>    1 5 6 4       esc> ctrl

====================>    5 2 3 4      tab >run stop

 

modifying this way (swapping the second and third number) you invert keyboard function ... so after this if you press esc you'll have CTRL in the emulator... and if you press tab on keyboard you'll have run stop.

If you need another type of swap button you have to do the same inversion between the two command.

To resolve the ESC BUTTON in gameex to exit emulator edit the file win_shortcuts.vsc, .... located in C64 folder.

 

add:

 

KEY             27          IDM_EXIT                          X

 

IN SETUP GAMEBASE , "MAP EXIT KEY" MUST BE SET AS "YES"

 

this thread can be closed as solved. i hope my solution will be useful to other users
