Title: Exit with controller using Mala and Jnes ?
Post by: Xali on January 07, 2008, 04:44:38 pm

Is it possible to use a controller button to exit the game in Jnes emulator so he goes back to the Mala gamelist ??
In Nestopia it works but i can`t figure it out how i can do the same with Jnes ??

This is a familiar frontend/emulator problem. A lot of emulators stick with the norm of using 'escape' to exit by default, and only a few allow assigning buttons to key functions like exiting the emulator.

Similarly, a lot of emulators do not like using the default mame keys for inputs, so whereas most people assign i-pac configs for each emulator, I reassign all of my emulators (including mame) to 'regular letter keys, assuring no input conflicts across the emulators.

I use Nestopia for now but i hope the fix something soon in Jnes to configure the controls the same as in Nestopia  :)

I don`t know if Joytokey will work ?

Joytokey is good. If you use a PS2-style pad you will have spare buttons available to assign Escape, P (pause) and 'insert coin' toas well as the usual 6 fire buttons.
