exit table with 2 buttons or keys

[keithhov]

Is there a way to exit tables using 2 buttons or keys.  I don't want to use one button to exit, its to easy to hit by mistake and I would prefer not to have a dedicated exit button   I would like to do something like hit the credit button and the launch button at the same time to exit quickly.   I know there is a hold button option but the way it is now you have to assign/waste a button.

Hi keithhov,

To my knowledge, there isn't an option for assigning 2 buttons to an action.

Do you use a cabinet or desktop ?

I never had pressed the wrong button on my cabinet.

If you are a bit handy with programs, you can setup vjoy.

Create a button joy with is a bit higher count as your normal joystick.

Assign the exit button to a high joynumber, that is higher than your button numbers of your cabinet. (pinballx will not make a distinct between the different joysticks, just response to a joystick number )

Make a small program, that will trigger when you press 2 buttons and sends the vjoy button to activate.

 

Hope this gives you an idea

Thanks for the reply, after 20ish years of playing on pc, I finally built a cabinet.   I ended up just using the hold down button to exit.  I moved the extra ball button to the coin button and its working out well.   The exits a little slow but overall pinballx is great.
