Project64 escape issues

[orbeyonde]

I have about 20 emulators installed on my registered version of Game EX. Almost all of them work great. I am having issues with emulators for Virtual Boy, Jagaur, and Neo Geo Pocket, but that is a discussion for a different topic.

My problem that I am hoping someone here can help me with is that the escape key does not seem to work with Project64. With every other working emulator, hitting escape end the emulator and returns me to Game Ex. But with Project 64, all that happens is the emulator goes to window mode (In Project 64, hitting escape toggles between full screen and windows). I can exit out of the game by hitting Alt-F4 (the designated Project 64 way to exit), but I am using a dedicated cab, and do not want to have to pull my keyboard out every time I want to end a N64 game.

I do have Map Keys set to "Yes" in the Gam Ex config wizard, but it does not seem to work. I am running Game Ex 7.71 but will be shortly upgrading to 7.77, but I doubt that will fix the issue.

Can anyone help me with this?

Try this, In Advanced Configuration open the emulator configuration for P64 and set the advanced config to "PROJECT 64 V2".

It already is set to that. Thanks for the help though.

Does 'escape' normally quit Project64? I don't remember, but some of them have to be exited via 'Alt-F4'. If that's the case, just use send keys through the advanced config menus.

In Projeect64 "escape" toggles between full screen and windows. "Alt-F4" exits the emulator.

When you say send keys are you referring to Map Keys? If you are, I already have set it in advanced config. If not, can you explain it to me? Thanks.

Are you using the private btea verson? The one you donate for I mean...

There is a setting under each emulator in the advanced config that allows you to send keys on exit and such. I have not played with this (I have been using JoyToKey, but have been planning on switching), but other threads have described putting the 'Alt-F4' command in that section.

In my configuration with JoyToKey, sending 'Alt-F4' does shut down the emulator correctly though. So, you should be able to get it working with that command.

Alt-F4 works fine though, but I dont have that on my slik-stik control panel. I am forced to pull out the keyboard everytime to shut down Project64.

Maybe I am not understanding you, but are you telling me that by setting up Alt-F4 in my advanced config as a key upon exit so that if I actually hit the escape button on the control panel , it will also cause Game Ex to send the Alt-F4 command to Project64 thereby shutting it down and returning me to the Game Ex screen?

If so that is great. I will give it a try tomorrow.

PS: I should note that in earlier versions of Game Ex hitting escape on my control panel did exit from Project64. It was only in the recent upgrades that I noticed that it stopped working.

That's how it's supposed to work. But, like I said, I don't have my config set up that way yet. From other threads, that's what was used to get things working.

The ability to change the shortcut keys are implimented in 1.7 so if that doesn't work, you may have to wait a little bit. Just for the record.
