Zinc..how to change ESC key? (Mala exit hook?)
« on: May 21, 2006, 09:03:37 am »
Hey all.

How do I change the ESC key in zinc to somehting else, like V on
the keyboard?

(To exit a game that is)

Thanks!

Nicholas

Edit: If I choose the Mala exit hook, the games sort of closes
down, but never returns completely to the Mala interface)

use autohotkey (www.autohotkey.com), and made a simple remap script?

Instead to start zinc directly, you can create a bat file, that can start the script, and shutdown the script again when exits.

is there one for DOS ?
I have the PC DOS version of Dragon's Lair and it uses the RETURN KEY for Sword and don't have that map on my CP, and don't want to re-program I-pac. Just looking for a quickie wrapper/hotkey way of doing it in PURE DOS.

Use MaLa Hotkeys: http://mala.arcadezentrum.com/hotkeys.html

Create a post type hotkey and remap 'v' to 'esc'.
