Help wwith Gameex please
« on: February 06, 2007, 03:22:53 pm »
Hi all,

For what ever reason my X-arcade controler Joy 1 kept getting stuck when the keys were set to the num pad. So i went ahead and reprogrammed them to

up=h
Down=j
Left=k
Right=l


Now the controller works great but apparently those keys are set as defaults for Game Ex as well and when I try to control in a game with Joy 1 the thing goes all screwy.

So my question is... caan i change somewhere the default keys of Game ex?
Or what keys other than tthe num pad cann  i set the joy 1 as tto not inter fear wwith Game Ex.

(Sorry i tried to post on thier forum but it would allow me to create a user ID.)

Thanks all!

You can define custom keys in gameex in either the setup wizard or advanced configuration.

Its in the "input" tab.

When I go to change the custominput ini i  get this...

[KEYBOARD]
#Scan Code Number
# See Scancodes.txt for a list of Scan Codes specific to your system.
# If file not there, run GameEx.

Select=30
Back=48
Shift1_Paging=46
Shift2_Volume=32
up=200
down=208
left=203
right=205
PrevTrack=44
NextTrack=45
Home=199



[JOYSTICK]
#Button Number starting a 0

Select=0
Back=1
Shift1_Paging=3
Shift2_Volume=4
PrevTrack=6
NextTrack=7

------------
Do i just replace those values with the corresponding letters?

For example change up=200 to  up=h ?

Thanks again

Same here...and when you compare the values in that config file with the values listed in scancodes.txt,  they do not match!

For example,  it lists SELECT=30,  30 is NOT player 1 button...but player 1 button does,  indeed,  select.   Back is listed as 48,  but according to scancodes.txt,  48 does not equal the button that BACK is assigned to stock...so I am confused as all hell.
