AdvanceMenu - how to reconfigure keys??

[eggedd2k]

advancemenu seems to do everything i want.  the only thing i'm stuck on is reconfiguring keys.

when it's in my cab i'll be using a jpac.  will i need to reconfigure the jpac so i can emulate an ENTER key (to run games) or can you reconfigure advancemenu to accept say Player 1 Start as the key to run games.

thanks for any input

Should work from the off. The J-Pac usually treats P1 start as a shift key so if you hold it down you can combine it with the joystick and other buttons for all the other mame functionality (P1 + Joyleft = Tab, P1 + Fire1 = Coin 1 etc).

I'm pretty sure that most arcade oriented front ends will let you use P1 Start as your game launch button without any reconfiguring.

if you don't want to re-program the Jpac/Ipac, then just look in the ADmenu.rc file.
Example for the ENTER that you wnat to change look for:

event_assign enter

and enter what you want, lets say you want the letter R for ENTER

event_assign enter R

simple.
