Menu pops up during game play...
« on: July 24, 2004, 03:43:42 pm »
         Has anyone had this problem... while playing a game a menu pops up on screen to configure the games options. I'm puzzeled! I don't know what's causing this, could it be the WinIpac programming on the I-Pac2, a configuration issue in Mame, a bug in Mame or WinXP or a USB issue or maybe something else altogether?

        I'm leaning towards either a I-Pac programming issue or Mame32 Plus! 0.80u1 configuration issue. I had a problem with the Shift function with my I-Pac2.

        I search this forum but didn't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreaciated...

Are you using the stock config, or a custom one?  Because it certainly sounds like a shift key problem.

        A custome one Peale. I just uninstalled WinIpac and reinstalled it. Then I restored the default settings and that didn't work. So I restored Mame's Default setting and that worked. So I will try reprogramming the I-Pac again, hopefully the problem was with a setting I had in Mame.

       Speaking of I-Pac programming what should I program the Shift function to do? Let me rephrase that, what do most people here program to be used with their Shift key. I will program 2 buttons on my CP to Pause and Exit anything else will use Shift.

        I would appreaciate any help...
