Can't change ESC closing, Emu keys don't work.

[Lancerguy]

I've got 2 issues that are absolutely DRIVING ME CRAZY. I am trying to configure the default keys for the emulators to use (you know, the abxy keys for example). I am currently working on MESS and ZSNES, I'll use them as my examples. I have loaded up zsnes independently and configured the controls (because I changed the default IPAC controls since ALT seemed to effect some of my emus.), but when I load up zsnes through gameex, the controls are back to the way they were (using ctrl, alt, etc). I close gameex and bring up zsnes independently again, and my new controls are still mapped properly, but they go back to the original mapping when I launch through gameex! Secondly, I figured I'd disable the ESC to close so I could hit escape, bringup the menu in the emulator, and then modify the controls, but no matter if I turn off map keys, turn off advanced config it STILL closes the emu on ESC key.

EDIT: Ok, I jumped the gun a little bit. The ZSNES is working OK, I was hitting the wrong button :-P

However, how in the holy hell are you supposed to configure MESS options. The emulator DOES automatically close on ESC key, and I can't seem to load up ROMs outside of GameEX to the MESS emulator, it looks like it requires a lot of setup to run outside of GameEX, and I just want to set buttons!

MESS works like MAME.

1. Press the TAB key

2. Select Input (general)

3. Select User Interface

4. Select UI Cancel

5. Press Enter and map keys

As far as loading roms. Different emulators require different settings to run from command-line. These settings can be found in the help file. You can also import settings from the gameex install (they're already setup for you). Or you can always ask us here what we recommend. Also check out this pinned topic.

Dang fRequEnCy, you're following me around the forum huh? Oh well, I appreciate it though...MESS was driving me crazy, that makes sense though. Since posting this I fond the ESC quits MESS, regardless of whether gameex is running or not, my bad :-P

Yup. Just following you around since you're lost.
