Getting Mala to scroll by letter...

[Sinner]

I have setup Mala to use the left and right of the joystick to go up or down one letter in the games list, but it will not scroll...I have to push the stick for each letter.
I've looked for some sort of option to correct this, but I can't find one.
Is this the way it works, or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you,

Matt

What keyboard encoder do you use?

Good Point, Does this problem occur if you plug a keyboard directly into your pc?

From the IPAC FAQ: http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac5.html

What about key-repeat (Typematic)?
In USB mode key repeat is supported as on a normal keyboard and is handled by the PC. In PS/2 mode key repeat is not generally desirable for gaming because sending unnecessary strings of key-presses to the PC can cause unwanted clutter on the PS/2 interface and steal CPU cycles. It is useful though to have key repeat outside of gaming, for example for scrolling up and down game lists in a front end. The I-PAC solves this problem by implementing a selective repeat on up/down only, for scrolling through lists. If you have a need for repeat on all inputs, this can be supplied on request.

I use a JPAC with a PS/2 connection and the key repeat works only on the player one joystick up and down.

With the KE72 Hagstrom encoder you can indicate to "repeat" any key by simply placing the <R> text in front of the desired key configuration.

example: IN04: <R>[T]

This means when the "4th" key is pressed down then the "T" should be repeated.

Just thought I would mention it.   The KE72 encoder is one of the more expensive models of keyboard encoder but it also allows user to do a lot of different configurations.    It also allows multiple keypresses to be assigned to a button (32 keys when you press a button and an additional 16 keys when the button is released).   This is very handy to allow execution of BAT files (and other things) at a touch of a button.  It can also simulate pressing a button down while pressing other keys (Ctrl-Q or Ctrl-Alt-Del for example).  Also allows for delays to be placed between key input....

OK, enough gabbing .... just thought I would mention it.
