Title: epsxe and mame keys
Post by: BlinKY1337 on August 15, 2006, 12:57:52 am
OKay so I fanlly got PSX running through mala working but The default mame keys interfere with the epsxe emulator so whats the trick around this?

Do you use an ipac? Can Mala execute the ipac's programming utility like mamewah can?

With mamewah and an ipac, I can set any app or rom to reprogram the ipac on execution, steathly without anyone noticing. I find it especially useful for older PC apps that are hardcoded or emulators that won't allow me to assign functions to the number keys.

I have no idea what Mala is capable of, but I assume a similiar setup would solve your problem.

The key is not to use the default mame keys, even for mame.  It is a flawed layout for a windows environment.  At the very least everyone should remap left-alt to something else.

You can change Mame and/or ePSXe key mapping if you want

Yeah I'm sure most people found that out the hard way hitting the windows key (next to it) by mistake while playing a game

Good to know that, loadman. I suggest everyone look into it, especially if they're playing anything besides MAME.
