Alt button on Ipac disrupting full screen emulator

[Negativecreep0]

Ok here is my deal I would like to get NULLDC (best DC emulator) playing on my cab, My cab uses a ipac as the key encoder, I also have a ps2 in my cabinet that uses the Ultimarc PSX console adapter interface. The problem is when I play on the pc and NULLDC in fullscreen when I hit the button on my arcade that is mapped to alt on the ipac it exits fullscreen and goes to the emulator shortcut for File. Do you follow me? Anyways I can't just remap the ipac keys to solve this cause if I do that then the PSX console adapter interface won't work (only works with default ipac mappings). Any help on this issue? Can I somehow disable the alt key shortcut but still use it in game on this emulator. Maybe a windows registery hack or something to turn off gui shortcuts such as alt activing menues..........


I hope that made sense any help is appreciated.

By default, any time you hit "alt" on a Windows application it activates the "file" menu. Some emulators override this in fullscreen mode but I guess NullDC doesn't.

One way to fix it would be just to re-bind the key from "alt" to anything else (like "m" for example).

I can't simply just rebind because the console adapters only work with ipac default bindings. So If I rebind my default key on my ipac from alt to somethign else the console adapter button assigned to alt wont work anymore

Microsoft has a script for turning off windows shortcut keys during games etc.  You may take a look at that or google turn off windows shortcut keys to see other options.

Is just the ALT key considered a shortcut?  I thought ALT+<Key> were considered the shortcuts.

Press ALT right now (in your web browser) - you'll notice that it highlights "File".

Right.. but isn't that application driven?
