It seems a lot of emu's suffer through this, and Fusion seems to do it as well as Gens. I'd like to be able to designate a different key than ESC to exit the emulator. Could this be a command like option or an ini option with a keycode for exit?
I am limited in the amount of buttons I have on my arcade cabinet's control panel, and I do not have ESC mapped to any of them (I have a Hotrod SE with standard MAME controls, no ESC). So, if I need to exit an emulator that requires that key to be ESC, I'm outta luck, gotta pull out the keyboard.
I am using Fusion with MameWah. At one point I had Gens working with Lazarus using Howard Casto's launch wrapper where you could specify a process kill key, but I don't believe the wrapper is cooperating with MameWah and Fusion.
Anyone have a solution? Zsnes does this well, in allowing me to specify an exit key. For most emulators I use "4", the right flipper/coin entry button. Only in MAME do I have to use a 2-key combo.
I'm sure there are other emulators this problem plagues as well. If anyone has a working MameWah ini with Howard's wrapper, or other solutions, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks.
