Exiting EMUs with Joystick

[robEstyles]

Hey Guys,

Not really a noob to GameEx for Mame but recently I set up another Mame Box into my TV to run emulators which i havent really done before. My question is this. I want to be able to exit the emulator back to Mame with the joystick. I want to be able to exit with a combo (something like holding L and R and pressing start and select) I've been searching around the forums and couldn't find anything on this. I tried joy2key but it looks like you can only map a key to 1 joystick press not a combo of presses. Any suggestions?

Use an Advanced Emulator Config ...

Eg. The following will require you to press Left + Button 4 + Button 5 + Button 6 to exit.

#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=   
	Button11=
	Button12=

Yeah, could you explain this for someone who isn't so familiar with this stuff. I have no idea what you did there.

Edit one of the ini files in the "C:\Program Files\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS" directory. Down at the bottom you will find the section HK listed. Then, edit your emulator config in the Setup Wizard and tell it to use that ini you just edited.

In the attached example it shows how I mapped buttons 5678 to close the emu and send the Q key.

Hope this helps

Your very welcome.

I tend to learn visually as well.

Hello McFly. That's what I said! Well, except I wrote it out and with less detail...
