Question Regarding Exiting Mame Games Hyperspin

[Yourname942]

Does anyone know how to get exit a mame game from Hyperspin? I don't know how to get it to work... I tried setting up the exit as Esc but pressing Esc does nothing. The only way I can exit games is by Cnt+Alt+Delete and its quite a pain in the a to do every time. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. Thank you.

Exit in mame is Esc by default. Turn off hyperlaunch for mame in hyperhq. It may resolve your issues.

That didn't work..

When I switch Execution from Hyperlaunch to Normal it doesn't even let me load a game. (when I switched Execution back to Hyperlaunch I am able to launch mame games from hyperspin again, but not able to exit a game)


When I launch  hyperspin > mame > a game, it doesn't let me scroll through my list of games or launch or exit if a video plays.


Ie.

When Execution is:
Hyperlaunch
-----Issues: Unable to exit game

When Execution is:
Normal
-----Issues: Unable to launch game, unable to scroll through wheel, unable to exit (to go back up a page) <-- these happen when a video preview launches of the games.


Does anyone know how to fix this? I could use some serious help...

Is your exit button for Mame and Hyperspin the same?

Do you use Hyperlaunch?

If so does the exit emulator = the same key used to exit in Mame and your hyperspin settings?

Also is your exit key mapped to anything else that your not aware of?

[Yourname942]

Yes the exit button is set to Esc for both Mame and Hyperspin (in mame Ui Cancel is Escape which i'm pretty sure is the exit function)

No I checked Exit is not mapped to anything else in both Hyperspin and mame.

[EMDB]

Can you exit the game with ESC if you launch MAME directly?

[Yourname942]

Yes, pressing Esc when I just launch Mame and not Hyperspin lets me exit the game.

[Yourname942]

Does anyone know what I can do..?
