Exiting emulators/gamex with joystick

[hoboking]

I seem to be having a problem exiting using my gamepad (its a standard usb playstation looking gamepad from logitech).

with the keyboard i use esc to exit both emu's and gameex but i cant figure out how to map the "esc" key to my gamepad.

I have gone into the global exit settings (which opens a config txt) and set the global exit to "8" which is the coresponding key on my gamepad but it doesnt work. If i map the gamepad and map the "8" key to select or back or something it works fine.

I suppose I could write an autohotkey script to map it but id much prefer to set it up within gameex rather than running an external program in the backround.

anyone had a similar issue or suggestions?

much appreciated.

Try editing the GameEx\Config\custominput.ini file. You will want to Change joystick exit to: JoystickExit=8 (or maybe 7 since GameEx starts at 0)

The section you are looking for is this:

 

[JOYSTICKEXIT]
# Global game pad exit combination
# Specify button numbers seperated by |
# Button Numbers start at 0
#
# For directions use:
# Left 200
# Right 201
# Up 202
# Down 203
# POV Left 300
# POV Right 301
# POV Up 302
# POV Down 303



JoystickExit=200|202|3|4|5

This is NOT working for me. I am using a dual shock 3 via bluetooth and motion joy. It workes for everything else but for the life of me i cannot get this to work at all.

why is the lobal exit so hard to set?

Anyway it could be put into the regular config without digging through ini?

Update

Had to make an autoload joytokey and that works totally fine.

Really wishe this was built into gameex

It works fine for me. If you want help, post the relevant portion of your custominput.ini
