MaLa + FECUlatra Exit - SOLVED !
« on: March 27, 2011, 09:56:28 am »
I'm trying to get my MaLa cabinet set up with multiple emulators.
I'm having some trouble configuring it.

FCEUlatra - it calls up the game no problem. When I hit ESCAPE it does nothing.
I've looked to try and see how to configure this, but I've had 0 luck.
Any help ?

ZSNES - also calls up the game no problem, hitting ESCAPE dumps out to the ZNES menu. I looked in the config file.

; ESC to Game Menu (0 = No, 1 = YES)
; If yes, visiting the GUI will have the Game Menu automatically selected.
; It will also enable the main menu keyboard shortcuts.
esctomenu=0


This was at 1, I changed to 0. But upon hitting escape to exit game I still goto the menu. In the menu I see

; Quit ZSNES / Load Menu / Reset Game / Panic Key
KeyQuickExit=0
KeyQuickLoad=0
KeyQuickRst=0
KeyResetAll=7


Im gussing I use the KEYQUICKEXIT, but have no idea how to change this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I don't use those emulators but for ones I have issues with exiting I either use closemul or an ahk script.  You can try those.  If you are not familiar with writing an ahk script I would try closemul first because it doesn't get much easier than that.

Re: MaLa + FECUlatra...how to exit ? / ZSNES issues resolved
« Reply #4 on: March 29, 2011, 10:20:37 pm »
FIXED ! I'm using ZSNES v 1.51 (which is the most current version out).
I downloaded a wrapper made for that very version. It included with it a script that was to be run upon start up. I copied the script to my start menu so it is running upon the PC powering up. I pointed MaLa to the wrapper for ZSNES and it's working.
Picture comes on fullscreen (with portion to the right missing/photo to follow),
menu is indeed hidden and it does exit with escape.

Any help with  the NES emulator would be a HUGE help to me, thanks all.

I got the SNES working as noted above.
But I can't seem to find info on the Nintendo emulator.
Not sure if a wrapper exists, or how to configure the settings.
If anyone has any info that would be great.
I'd like to prepare a guide also for people who might have the same issues.
Thanks all

I have FCEUltra working on my Mala FE. In your options under 'Other Emu Config' tab, select your emulator. Select the 'Options' tab for that emulator. At the bottom click on 'Edit hotkeys'

This brings up another window. Click 'Add'. This automatically adds a close command with the ESC key. Hit OK and you are done.
