Exiting problems

[Ratmonkey]

I have gameEx set up on my MCE machine. Recently I have had problems exiting Mame and Daphne. Is used to be I could use the remote to exit (a hauppauge remote the mapped key corresponds to escape), now I have to use the keyboard.

I use Mame32 w/ advancemame and Daphne 0.99.6c. These are the smae programs and settings I used since I installed GameEx. I don't know if one of the GameEx settings got changed or I changed it during one of the upgrades.

Any help is of course appreciated.

The settings that could mess this up, are under Input in the config app. Make sure DirectInput is off, and make sure Enable SlikStik is off.

Does that help?

Both of those settings are off. Its wierd because all other functionality is the same (except volume control from the remote, up until recently I didn't think it was implemented). I can exit all the other emus, scroll, choose, etc....I just can't exit Daphne and Mame. I have just installed Daphne, so I dont know about that but, up until recently I could exit mame with the remote. It was after one of the updates that it stopped (I dont know which one because there have been quite a few the past couple weeks or so).

Any other ideas?

I think this must be unrelated to GameEx but something else on your system perhaps?. I dont think I even check for the escape key with MAME in GameEx. Other than checking the API for a couple of keys asynchronously GameEx is really not doing much when running MAME or Daphne, its certainly not capturing input. I also really cant think what I could have changed in GameEx that would affect this.

Only thing i can think of is disabling the Joystick as a longshot.

Can you control Windows Media player with the remote? That would be a good troubleshooting exercise.

Yes, everything works in MCE but, I agree it is probably something on my end. Like I said I am using the hauppauge remote not the microsoft one so this involves editing the irremote.ini to begin with. I will have to do something along that line I supposed. I was mainly looking for people in the same boat.... but I guess I got the ocean all to myself

Thanks for your help.
