Title: MAMEWAH 0.94x Button List?
Post by: Xochi on July 31, 2003, 04:57:09 pm

Just curious, are there more shortcuts than those you're allowed to remap on the controller config screen?

It'd be cool to have the different exit options available via a button or key combo, for example... If people consider it too 'dangerous' maybe they could  be unmapped by default.

Or maybe a button to cycle between a set of layouts... (or load a random one :)

Not really a major deficiency in MW (great job in general Minwah!!!), guess I just can't stand the thought of all these control panel buttons going unused. ;)

Sorta related, I actually remapped the Menu button, P2, in Mamewah to an extra button on my CP.  Then when I have kids over, I can disconnect the microswitch under the button so that the kids can't exit out of Mamewah.

Last party I had, the the adults were like, errr, how do I start a game?  :)  Then the kids (10, 11, 12) were pressing buttons randomly and managed to bring up the mame input menus and randomly reprog'd my key mappings!  Amazing!!

There is a 'child-lock' you know...hold P2 Start for 3 seconds to lock out the menu ;)

Xochi:  I expect I will be adding more shortcut options at some point, but it is not a priority just yet...

Minwah,

Is there a way to then 'unlock' the menu?  hold P2 Start again for 3 seconds?



TIA,

Rocky

Wow, is that documented in the readme?  I either completely missed it or just flat out didn't know.  But with kids in the house, that's an awesome feature to know about.

Thanks!
