Title: multiple keys for a single action
Post by: TheShanMan on March 14, 2016, 06:33:34 pm

It's been years since I've messed with my mala setup at all, but after rebuilding my cabinet one thing I'd like to do differently is regarding the starting of games. I currently have the P1 button 1 set to launch a game and that's intuitive for me and for some other people who use it but some people, not knowing what to do, press the player 1 start button.

From what I can tell, it's not possible to configure both buttons to launch the selected game. Is that right? If not, how do I do it?

I am running an old version of mala (not sure off hand what the version is) and I could update if that's what I need to do in order to have both buttons launch games, but I'd rather not mess with an otherwise "working great" setup.

There's no way to do this, AFAIK. The best you can do is to clearly indicate what button to press, in your layout.

Thanks. Since my P1 and P2 start buttons are lit by LED's, I decided I'll try switching the start button to P1 and have P1 flash while in mala. I think that'll probably be clear enough.
