Title: Maxumus Arcade go back to emulator pick page
Post by: Garza on November 18, 2010, 12:59:38 pm

I just downloaded and playing with Maximus arcade settings. The problem or question I have is that when it loads up to the emulater page where you can change emulaters... I select one i.e. mame it goes into it and shows the games and plays ok but when I am done with the game and exit out (esc) and it goes back into mame if I want to go to a diff emulater i.e. atari 2600 what key do I press or need to set up in pref page to go back to the main emulator select page. currently I have to press a number i think 4 and a window pops up with all my emulators to select. Any Ideas? :banghead:Hope I am clear about it.  :dizzy:

The Home button is the native choice to return to the previous page.  I have recently re-created my own key mappings, to support my own admin button layout.

On the mapping I am not so... LOL But can you give me some examples and ways to do it on Maximus... Still new to it and trying to work the bugs out to make sure everything I want in a FE before buying it. So far so good though Just that darn  :angry: Mapping I guess.

Well I went to maximus arcade website and doesnt show any mapping ideas or key stroke info  :angry: Can someone tell me how to remap the esc button when I go out of an emulator and want to go to a diff emulator?  :cry: Probably very simple but I am overlooking the obvious.... :censored:

If you want to re-map the ESC key, you need to do it from within the emulator's preferences while maximus is running, not from the preferences.exe.  (see known issues here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=104358.0).)

-  Run Maximus Arcade
-  Hit Ctrl-P
-  Assign your keys.  Read how to do it here (http://www.maximusarcade.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=41&Itemid=55#setup1).
-  Save
-  Click close

And delete the preferences.exe... it's useless and causes more harm than good.  You don't need it, since you can enter the preferences through the Ctrl-P method from within the front end.

Hope this helps.
