New to GameEx and need some help with key mapping

[Xul]

Hello,

I'm new to GameEx and have a cab that i've just built a new computer for. I'm using custom arcade controls with an ipac. I'm still working setting up the emulators, etc. I'm specifically working with the (Kega) Fusion emulator but it does not have the option to map an exit button. The button I have on my arcade controls to 'exit' the emulator seems to be the keyboard 'j' button. I have been trying to figure out a way to map this out natively within GameEx. The GameEx advanced emulator configuration doesn't seem to stick (every time i try to map it) and goes back to the default settings... Am i doing something wrong or should I be using a different program... JoytoKey (found it online)?

Any guidence is appreciated - Thx

are you making sure to 'save' your advanced config?

Untick "map escape" while you're at it... Fusion uses that for toggling fullscreen. It's well annoying.

Yes, i save the file but does nothing... I figured out a work around by accident though. If i hit the player 1 and player 2 button at the same time, it exits. Is there something specific i need to do though after i save the configuration? I would prefer to set a specific button, like the rest of the emulators...

thx

If you are using the advanced config editor, and have saved your own custom config, make sure that the correct file is selected in the pull down menu next to the button that says Edit. It has caught me out a few times, because it doesn't refresh until you move away from that page and come back.

I put my name in my advanced configs and use those instead of the standard ones, in case a GameEx update rewrites the standard advanced configs.

Not sure if that makes sense, or if it'll help. Hope so.

Yes, this helps. I found this setting and got the escape function to move to the desired button... now the other controls arent working though. I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet but thanks for the follow up!
