Title: mala and epsxe exit
Post by: coggia on April 25, 2013, 04:52:34 am

Hello,
I'm using mala with epsxe in an arcade cabinet (so that's why I do not have the possibility to use Esc to exit emul)
the hotkey isn't working with epsxe,
So i've made some searches and I found or the autohotkey solution, or the closemul one

The autohotkey solution is not a good one in my case, as If the autohotkey is started it will be active and map the exit key of my controller all the time and i cannot exit other emus with this key unless i add some line every time i add some emu
(ie if ' is the key to exit '::Process, close, epsxe.exe   will close epsxe, but on mame even if it was the default key to exit it will not exit a thing because autohotkey will havethe lead, i have to remap everything)

So I tried the closemul solution but i cannot get it to work:
on the other emu config, i add closemul.exe in front of the command line to launch epsxe, it launches the epsxe, but the key mapped to exit, didn't do a thing...

Any help welcome :)

Why not using psxfin?

easy to exit with exc. key and i tought this was/is the best emu for psx games. :)

Well I just tried it, but I got one main problem with this emu : the control map couldn't recognize my second button of my X-arcade dual joystick (it's the tab button I guess). the epsxe recognize it.
So I'm still stuck :(

Is the built in mala 'exit on esc' box checked?  I'm pretty sure I'm using epsxe (been a long time since I set it up) and my esc button does the job just fine without any other wrapper programs.

Yes but my problem is that I don't have a keyboard, it's an arcade cabinet, so I just have 20 buttons of my X-arcade joystick to do the thing
(or else, yes the esc key exits perfectly, but in this case I cannot push on it)

Well, two problems :
I don't speak spanish at all..So even with the cong ini file I don't get it.
Second, in my 800x600 resolution yourconfig screen isn't fully displayed and can't be stretched.
