[RESOLVED] Changing Game EX input keys (Custominput.ini)

[massop]

Hi Guys,

Another simple question again.

I am using Joy2Key to map keys to joysticks for some Emulators, After testing dozens of joysticks/adaptors I have found a keymap that will suit any gamepad (xbox, ps3, psx, gamecube etc).

I have mapped the "0" key (Scancode 10) for the select/back button for most gamepads.

My issue is that when I press this key/button it pauses emulation and goes to the game ex pause screen (the "resume game" screen), but for the life of me I cant find the corresponding key in the Custominput.ini to remove it.

I actually looked in all the C:\gameex\config\ Ini files and there seems to be no setting to change the "0" function.

I did search the forum but founf nothing of value.

Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place.

Thanks in advance

Regards

You can use the AdvanceConfigEditor.exe, bundled into GameEx installation. This way you can create a customized mapping file for each of your emulators. Then you have to select that mapping file in the Setup Wizard or in the GameExConfig to make sure your emultator actually uses that file. These programs should be (almost) self-explanatory. Post here if you have any problems. Note that you can use X-Padder for that matter. Personally I don't use it, but I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Or you can change GameEx "pause" key always using Setup Wizard, to avoid this conflict. Look for Keyboard Input and Advanced Keyboard Input, and assign that function to another key.

P.S. : Make sure to avoid any mapping conflict between your emulator-related commands and your customized mapping file, i.e. avoid to assign the same key both to emulator and GameEx.

Cheers,

Alpha.

Thanks very much.

I had no Idea I could re-run the setup wizard without messing up my existing setup.

Worked a charm

Glad I could help you!

Not only you can modify/correct your set up via Setup Wizard without messing up anything, you can try things and make experiments as long as you want, provided that you keep a copy of GameEx.ini (that you can find in GameEx\CONFIG\ directory) in a safe place. In case you mess up something, you can always revert everything to your good previous configuration overwriting that file. I say this just in case you aren't aware of it, if you are, forgive me.

Cheers,

Alpha.
