Well just put Maldita Castilla on my cab and love it, but I cant see the option to assign a button for the exit/quit. It lets me use buttons to jump and attack but that's it in options. Have you just edited the config file or am I missing something obvious ?. When I try to exit game in Maximus I can hear that maximus has gone back a screen to list of games but Maldita stays on screen, hope that makes sense :-[

I have configured this game in mala but I've used my program AllInOneFYC to close the game.

Ok thanks for reply, was hoping I wouldn't need more software just to close a game.

I'm sure that when you'll take a look to AllInOneFYC you don't need another program!!! ;D
You have the instructions here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,134959.0.html).

I downloaded this, but haven't got around to installing it yet.
Autohotkey cures all. You'll probably end up needing it for something else down the road. I don't like extra stuff installed, but I use the hell out of autohotkey to get oddball emulators working the way I want.
Instead of pointing Maximus Arcade at the game exe, point it to an autohotkey script that launches the game and waits for you to press the exit key, then kills the game. I don't know what your exit button and the exe are, so this is just an idea of how it would work:
Run, maldita.exe
ESC::
process, close, maldita.exe
ExitApp
Install autohotkey, copy and paste the above into notepad (correcting the exe name) and save it as Maldita Castilla.ahk (all file types) and put it in the same folder as the exe. Then point Maximus arcade at it instead. If Maximus must have the exe extension, you can right click on the ahk script and compile it to an exe.

Cheers BadMouth just had a quick look but having never used scripts and batch files until now it takes me a few goes usually to get it right :-[
1 thing that might make a difference is that when using esc in maldita it then brings up 3 options so you then need to use q to quit game.
secondly Can I just copy a shortcut to the maldita.ahk into the batch files folder in MA like I do with other games,hope that makes sense.
Will go have a read and give it a go ???

Thanks, looks very similar so will give it a try.
-
ESC::
process, close, maldita.exe
Kills the game like bringing it up in windows task manager and forcing it closed.
Nothing is going to happen when you press escape except the game will stop running and instantly disappear.
If you copy it to a different folder, you'll have to specify the full path to launch the game.
i.e.
Run, C:\pcgames\maldita\maldita.exe
(or whatever your path is)

cush,
you can see an example here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,134959.msg1392649.html#msg1392649).

You don't need to learn Autohotkey. You only need to change the config of the AllInOneFYC for each game.

Thanks to you both, Im going to try both on different set-ups. I understand allinone may be the easier option but I do like to learn stuff too. Building this machine and getting it set the way I want it has been huge fun and info and help I have been given on this site has been fantastic. Thanks again I appreciate all you have done. :cheers:
