KeyWiz Issues and GameEx Issues
« on: May 18, 2010, 11:26:47 am »
Got my Keywiz yesterday and played Metal Slug with my wife for 2 hours before bed.  Tried to play some MK3 and found button 5 and 6 wouldnt work on player 2, but i figured it was something I could look at tomorrow and wasnt a big deal.  Today I added a couple of admin buttons and the Shazaaaaaaaam!  button on the side.  I fooled with the uploader and sat it so that my admin button does pause and when I hit S! it escapes.  and it wont upload the configuration.  The laser eyes make it over to the right and then it just sits there saying 0000000, let it sit for about 10 minute with no change, no big deal, but now my buttons are changing on my in game.  I start a game out fine and then all my buttons switch to where P1 Start is 0, Button 1 is 1, Button 2 is 2 and so on.  I restart the PC and it is normal and fine, but then in game again it switches on me.

I am using KW3 to troubleshoot and check button setups even though I havnt been able to get a full upload yet.  According to the KW3 all my buttons are working and connected correctly to the right pinouts.

Any suggestions?

ON TOP OF THAT

the GameEx FE isnt allowing me to use my Shazaaaaam! buttons and when I go into the GameEx setup to change my keys, (page up, page down, volume, etc) it doesnt save the button configurations.  Any suggestions on that?

Thanks.

Further troubleshooting I found several issues with using GameEx and arcade controls, I don't nessacarly know if it realated to the KeyWiz or not.  When I play games with MAME alone I have no issues, but in GameEx if I accidently hit the player 2 coin and player 2 start at the same time it exits the game!!!  I cant have any button but esc exit the game cuz I dont want my son fooling around in the GameEx settings, he loves playing the games and hes only two so I dont know what he could do in there if he could just exit on accident.

I'm not sure about your exit problem but I fixed the the key saving issue in the Setup Wizard today so it will be fixed in the next release.
