Help with Mame

[vsilvalopes]

Hi Everyone!

Well , after setting up my GameEx and it´s emulators , I´ve run into a problem with Mame.

My HTPC will not have a real keyboard in the final setup.

All the control functions will be done with a Joypad and a IR Controler.

Well , all the emulators go back to GameEx when I press "ESC". Everything works as expected.

Only when I'm running MAME this doesn´t work.

Mame only go back to GameEx , if I press the REAL "ESC" key.

Using EventGhot to emulate the "ESC" Keystroke , doesn´t work.

In all the other emulators , this work.

I´ve tried other options like Xpadder and Joy2Key. But none worked.

My Mame version is M.A.M.E. v0.136 (Dec 31 2009)

My GameEx Version is 10.37

Anyone can give me an help ?

Thanks to everyone!

You have to compile mame yourself from the source to allow directinput rather than raw input. There is a thread here regarding that.

Hi Bryan !

I´ve tried to compile MAME using this clue that you give me.

I´ve followed the instructions of Headkaze on his "Mame Compiler" web site.

And to enable the directinput I used these instructions from Headkaze in another forum.

But no sucess at all !

Eventghost and joy2key still doesn´t work.

I REALLY need this , because my GameEx setup is in my HTPC , and I don´t want to hook up a keyboard just to exit Mame Games...

Can you give a clue of this thread ? Any Keyword to find it ?

I´ve searched the GameEx forum , but no sucess at all...

Thanks again !

Found here using search.

Thanks Frequency !

I´ve found this one right after I´ve posted the reply.

The headkaze option I´ve already tested , but no sucess.

Now I´m going to try Bryan Hoffman hack.

Let´s go compiling again...

I will post the results soon !

@ Everyone !

I´ve tried again my first compiled Mame.

With the first instructions of Headkaze that I´ve found , and it´s worked !

I´ve tested it again with Xppader and Joy2Key and both worked.

Eventghost doesn´t seens to work , but Xppader will save my day !

Thanks do everyone !
