Escaping winkawaks

[WaVeY]

Hi all

I think i may be having a blonde moment, I have just finished building my cab all is running well, its a 1 player can with 6 fire buttons, my emus are mame and winkawaks, mame is behaving as it should but I have a a dilema with winkawaks. I cant seem to figure out how to escape out of a game back to gamex, there is no fuction in winkawaks to redefine a key to exit like mame does. Can this be setup in Gamex ???

Thanks in advance

Dave

Can set Map Keys to YES in GameEx setup. This will close the process if the Back or Escape keys are pressed and return focus back to GameEx. Another option is to used an Advanced Config and it can be configured to exit with desired keys or joystick buttons. Depends on your needs.

Yes it is possible. Simply remap the "i" key to "ESCAPE" in the GameEx Advanced Config Editor app by headkaze by doing the following...

• Click on the General tab.
  
• Click on Enabled which will enable this config for use in GameEx.
  
• Click on Map Escape which will close the emulator process if ESCAPE is pressed.
  
• Click on Keyboard ReMap tab.
  
• Click on Enabled to enable in GameEx.
  
• Triple click on From Key and a dialog will popup asking to Press a key so there put "i".
  
• Triple click on To Key and same dialog will pop up and press "ESCAPE".
  
• Click File and Save As... (Save as your desired file name).
  
• Now in GameEx setup, click the drop down Advanced Config and select your saved config for use.
  

Now when you press your "i" key then it will send "ESCAPE" to that emulator and close it's process. There's other settings in there that might need some tweaking but play around with that to get your desired results. That should give you something to start with. Let us know how that works out for you. There are other solutions to accomplish this but this is the most simple way and not having to use 3rd part apps to accomplish same effect.

Thank you so much, that worked a treat !!!

Keyboard ReMap within the GameEx Advanced Config Editor 1.12 does not allow remapping of key presses to combo key presses. Both the from and to keys must be single keys. Is there a way to make either allow a combination of keys?

Example -> remap the 'P' key to send 'CTRL+P'

=-=-=-=

In addition, how can I specifiy certain remaps for separate emulators?

Example:

VisualBoy ReMap -> 'P' to 'CTRL+P'

KEGA Fusion ReMap -> 'P' to 'LSHIFT+P'
