External applications now have an also launch setting for launching processes asynchrously. So there now in line with MAME and emulator support

Fix to disable mouse setting. Now disables mouse wheel.

In addition new setting to just disable the mouse wheel

Indeed this is good news! Nice touch.

[Backlash]

Thanks for all your hard work Tom!

Keep up the great work

Cool! If I still had one of my first 3 mice installed, this new feature would have saved me the trouble of hacking a 4th mouse! Disabling the mouse wheel is definitely a good option though. Thanks Tom!

Awesome!

You're cranking out updates faster than I can download them. Thanks for the hard work!

Why disable the mouse wheel?

Why disable the mouse wheel?

Well on my setup If Im onm the start page and mouse wheel up the items on the list dissappear instead on selecting the other options.

Maybe if mouse wheel acted as up and down arrows instead of page up and page down it would be better.

[bkenobi]

If for no other reason, if you disable the mouse, the whole mouse should be disabled!

[enoch]

Brian: yeah, I was wondering if (hoping) the wheel would scroll game lists. And instead of adding that, Tom went the other way. Strange.

It's not ideal but what about an ahk script containing:

#SingleInstance force
#IfWinActive, GameEx

wheelup::up
wheeldown::down

compile it to an exe and have it launch before and close after gameex

This will work as long as you don't change to custom inputs. I have a thread I just started which was intended to discuss this (here). If anyone has any thoughts, I would love to hear them!

I'm waiting for systems to be smart enough to know how to do these things when we tell them 'I want this.'
