disabling ESC for an emulator

[Atarian]

Ok, before i get bomberded with "search" comments, i have done it, and after 2 friggin days, i still havent found the answer. Plenty of pointing in direction of which doesnt have the answer.
 

And yes i know it exists, because i have come across and used it before. This time gameex in the advanced emulation setup, where everyone points to, [mapping off] there is no option to those mentioned, and i have been through everyone and it makes no difference, when in the emulator, in this case winuae, when i select esc to exit back to the game selection screen, it exits back to gameex.

I know i have found the solution before, but it seems to have vanished, and i dont want to continue ploughing through lots of "this is the solutions" to find it doesnt exist.

So can anyone tell me how to disable the esc when i run an emulator, to that if i press esc in that emulator it doesnt go back to gameex and allows the emulator to do what it suppose to do.

I had a drive crash and so lost my config files and so am having to do them all over again, i think i also came across this on a snes emulator as well in the past.

i know there was a setting in advance setup, but cannot see it anymore, i have the latest version of gameex.

Please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files for review when requesting assistance.

Also, if you don't mind, please indicate what kind of CP you are using for your games. Are you using:

A. Keyboard and mouse?

B. Gamepad or joystick?

C. Cabinet controls?

D. Mix of the above?

Asking just in case there may be considerations.

Have you tried this?

• Go to Advance Config
• Click the ...
• In GameEx Advanced Config Editor deselect Map Escape
• Click File

• Click Save As...

• Enter a filename.ini in the File Name field
• Click Save

• Go back to your Advanced Emulator Setup and click the dropdown at the end of Advanced Config and select the name of the config you created for the emulator, then click the next arrow in the Setup Wizard to save.
• Repeat for each emulator.
