Making Progress.......

[jagee23]

I have about got my HTPC set up just like I want but there is another question I have.

I have set up the plugin so I can exit Gameex with a combonation of buttons, but is it possible to setup button combo's to exit snes9x and nestopia and send me back to Gameex? I am sure it is but I cant seemed to get it figured out. The esc key on the keyboard is what I am having to hit.

Can someone send me some detailed info or point me to where I can find it?

Thanks for everyones help!

I'll see if I can come up with an answer for you this weekend.

Now are you trying to do this with the remote, game pad, remote keyboard,...hehe tho I would image the remote keyboard would be a cake walk.

I should be putting mine together this weekend...but if all else fails I"ll just hook stuff up to my current system and give it a go.

Hopefully some one else will pop in with the answers you are needing.

I am using a gamepad. I am currently having to use the keyboard to exit out of the emulators and I would like to get rid of the keyboard.

Thanks for your help.

From your GameEx folder, browse to CONFIG\EMULATORS (full path is probably C:\Program Files\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS). This is where Advanced Config's are located.

You will need to create an ini file for your gamepad. Lets call this gamepad.ini.

Place the following code in it...

[GAMEPADEXIT]

#MAP Gamepad controls to exit and make controls exit process

	MapGamePadExit=true

#Flag the controls that exit a game by placing True next to each control. To not use the control as part of the combination use a 0

	Left=True
	Down=
	Right=
	Up=True
	Button1=
	Button2=
	Button3=
	Button4=True
	Button5=True
	Button6=True 
	Button7=
	Button8=
	Button9=
	Button10=

The above will exit the game using Left + Button 4, 5 and 6 held down at once.

Next you need to go into your Emulator Setup and set the Advanced Config for each emulator you want to use the gamepad Advanced Config.

Sorta off topic. But can the same be applied to exiting mame games? I had my son and his cousin playing on my cabinet tonight. One is 5 and the other 7. Both of them was smashing the 1st and 2nd player start button. This of course exits the game. Maybe something kid friendly?
