1P AND 2P BUTTON COMBO EXIT TO GAMEEX

[saajan4u]

my nephew and i were playing cadilac and dinosuouras. and unfortunateley we both died at same time when we were nearly at the end of the game.. so we both pressed to the 1p and 2p button same time without thinking this will kick us out of the the game so it did kicked us back in to gameex means we lost the whole game.

so I have this set up if we pressed 1P and 2P together it exits the games. its not a problem unless both player presses at the same time.. is there any way I can get gameex to ask for a confirmation when both is presses.. i seen it on the older versions but on the new one it just throws me to gameex.

Thanks for your time

When I started using Gameex I also set the exit combo to 1P+2P but when my friends were playing these "the more coins the further you get"-games it happened too often that they were kicked out of the game!

So I changed my exit buttons to the lowest two buttons of the X-Arcade Controller (C+5). This has proven to work much better in general since these two buttons are not used by a lot of arcade games anyway. the lower two of the right player (]+6) is the pause combo.

anyway, back to your problem... in mame plus you can set the confirmation upon exiting message in the preferences. it's even switched on by default!

it would be interesting to know what other people in the forum use as an exit combo!

The only solution I can think of is getting a version of MAME that requires holding down the exit button(s) for a bit longer or has a confirmation dialog. MAME+ has a confirmation, but I'm unaware of any build that currently has a delay. For someone that knew the MAME code, this is a very small change. For most people, this is something that would require a script to accomplish.

i would wish a button delay! i have a 2 sec button delay in a ahk script to exit all emulators. it's not working for mame though

Unless you have a custom compiled version of MAME and have disabled the RAW input system, then you can't use a script to interact with MAME.

[chriss]

i know how to compile mame.

do you happen to know, bkenobi, in which file i have to disable the RAW input?

does that mean you lose the ability to configure mame by gui?

Run the Plugin Manager and there is an plugin called "Exit GameEx". It allows you to exit using a key combo.

is it to change the combo how to exit a game? i dont want to exit gameex. The FAQ says the Combo to exit a game is 4,5,6 and left-up. but in my version its start player 1 and 2. i want to change this.

Thanks.
