Mala Hotkeys
« on: March 22, 2013, 06:41:15 am »
Ok, I give up. I've done a lot of searching and reading but I can't work out how to 'enable' hotkeys!

In the hotkeys section it says 'Try Hotkeys'. Now I'm guessing this is referring to a 3rd party program that needs to be installed, but there's no way I'm installing a program of this nature unlesss I have a link to a legitimate website.

This is all in the name of getting Project64 to exit with Mala.

Can anyone help?

Mala version 174/1745?
Run Mala and R-click for the menu - Options/Configuration.

Then, "Other Emu Config" tab has a tick for Enable Hot Keys near the bottom.

To add, pick the Project64 emulator from your list on the left and edit HotKeys so that exit is Escape and not what it normally is.

Thanks Essex, I was reading too much into  'try hotkeys' and assumed it meant an external hotkey app. With a bit of persistence I'm glad to say it is now working.

Cheers!  :)
