Title: Change Emulator GUI?
Post by: deepblue on August 30, 2010, 02:59:43 pm: Hey Guys just getting my MA setup - now that I have two emulators in the system (two versions of MAME, hijacked the Raine emulator slot per a previous tutorial in there).

When I fire up MA at boot, I get that nice juicy GUI that lets you flip between emulators by moving the joystick left/right and shows a nice image for each one, etc.

After I select one of the emulators and get the games list, I hit the "Emulator Menu" command I assigned to a button, but it gives me an ugly grey box with the two emulators as text that I can pick from.

Is there a key or command I can bind to a button that will bring me back to that nice GUI that one sees when starting up MA?

Is it the "Home" key?

Is that a question or an answer? :)

I'll try that when I get home - thanks.

Will that always be the main emulator menu? I'm trying to think if any of the menus are more than one level deep.

Thanks - will try this too.

No.

Well, it seems to work for me, but I also don't have anything but a keyboard.
