Key linking (Num Enter) and other queries...

I have decided to come back to GameEx after using Meedio for some time and like what I see with the new versions.

The only thing I have missing is that in Meedio I could create seperate folders for the MAME/Emulator Games, so that I could have a folder for example: Outrun which has snaps and links to each Outrun game, MAME, C64, Amiga, etc etc I miss that option :) _UPDATE: Found out that I can use the MAME folders and create my own folder structure via this - possibly, but without the change of icons! Will let you know how I get on.

I am nearly complete with my migration from Meedio to GameEx but with a few issues if anyone can help please;

1.) I love the new config controls section in GameEx but I am having problems as my fire key on ALL my emulators is NUMPAD ENTER and not ENTER. I have used the key config but when I press NUMPAD ENTER it sets to ENTER. This of course does not allow me to use this key in the GameEx menu. I could change ALL my emulator keys to use ENTER instead but that would be a nightmare :( Or I could use Button 2, etc on my controls but I would like to use Button 1 (Numpad Enter) is there a way to set this either via the key config or manually in a file?

2.) I have set animated backgrounds theme set but this only sets in within MAME and Daphne, how do I allow this in the other emulators pages (I have each emulator with its own page - I know this is possibly an option that I have missed somewhere but I can not find it.

3.) How do I change the background to just the MAME page/list? I have set the Daphne one but does MAME run from 'bak' or is there another method for this?

Great work anyway Tom...

About to set Videos to all my MAME Games :) That is a nice addition (shows you how long ago I used GameEx before :))

>>> MAME Folder structure. Means manually editing this but hey it works. Just need to create multiple folders within folders if possible? So I can go into say Car Racing and then two seperate folders are shown for 2 player, 4 player, etc

Please help!!!!

As far as this goes (your update anyways) GameEx does not do this. If Tom were to add depth to custom lists it may function this way, at least for MAME. But it does not do this at present so you will need to put in a feature request for it.

As far as button mapping, I don't know anything about assigning the number pad buttons as I have never tried to do this myself. Sorry.

it appears that you can change the key links directly under C:\GameEx\CONFIG\custominput

There is also a text file labelled 'scancodes' that shows all the codes.

This has allowed me to change to NUMPAD_Enter instead of just Return/Enter and all works well. Thanks.
