game ex 'select' and 'back' keys.

[katuuuz]

sorry for all the questions, but i had a few. is there any way to change the default buttons for the game ex menu? for example, instead of backspace for back, and enter for ok can i assign a different button? i don't want enter, backspace or any of the alt ctrl shift buttons as part of my control panel configuration.

In the GameEx control pannel under "Input Settings" is where you want to look.

A few things to comment on here.

The answer to your question is you need to use config/custominput.ini. Once setup, you need to enable custom keyboard inputs via the config app as NoLogic intimates.

In another post, you talk about "needing a [separate] enter button". This isn't necessary. Most of this software your using, including the IPAC, has keypress mapping functionality that allows you to double up button usage and streamline the amount of buttons you actually need.

For instance, my fire button (1SW1 / MAME=LCtrl) is setup as GameEx's ENTER key. My 1SW2 button (MAME=LAlt) is set up as the GameEx back button. Thus, most of the time I just navigate GameEx using the joystick and button 1 and 2...

You also need to know about the IPAC SHIFT function and custom mapping winIPAC software. Do some research on these, if you don't know about them...

Attached is my IPAC control panel mapping sheet. It shows how I've configured my IPAC to run across the different emulators and GameEx. It's slightly incomplete, but you get the picture. You need to plan this stage quite carefully to maximise the efficiency of the IPAC and your CP.

Slow down a bit!!!!
