[RESOLVED] Unable to return to GameEx from FCE

[casperinmd]

I can't seem to get FCE to return me to GameEx when done like MAME does. Are all console emulators similar to this issue adn I need to have a keyboard present? MAME is perfect.

So all working now I take it?

Your experience reminds me of a conversation I had with my son about computer vs. consoles.

I told him if you want plug & play, stick with consoles. If you want plug & pray (and swear and curse) stick with PC.

Feels good to roll up the sleeves and dig once in a while.

Exactly. After staring at things forever, I often call my peers and go over it on the phone and usually that is when it comes to me and I figure it out, just talking it out gets the mind flowing!

 

All good, working great.
