GameEX and 'page changing' in Game List
« on: February 08, 2008, 09:58:12 pm »
For those with GameEX experience, how does one change the default (Joy1-Down+Button1) Page Up / Page Down to quickly slide up or down your Game List?

I have mod'ed the UI Up / Down in MAME, but that seems to only have an effect in the Config Menu for MAME itself, not GameEX.

AHH HAA!!!  :applaud:

It seems the way to Page UP / DOWN on the GameEX menu is to hit button '4' on player 1 side and while held, move the p1 stick up or down.

Doh!  :banghead:

Here are the default controls from GameEx if you have any other questions about what does what.

That was the first place I looked for info, yet the buttons did not match up to what my default GameEX buttons settings are.  The button 1+stick is somehow button 4+stick on my machine by default.

But again, I may be wrong and have changed something at some point without recall.

Well, you could change the mapping by using the GameEX setup wizard.  There is a place to configure custom controls.  Here you could change it back to button 1 if you like.  What control panel are you using?  The reason I ask is that on some button 1 is mapped to a control button and GameEX doesn't seem to like this for navigation.  Could be why it was changed before.

My CP is a home-brewed beast, being run mainly by the GP-WizRX controller board.  It stands with 2 Super Sticks and 12 player Buttons.

I have custom keys turned off in GameEX, but personally, I like not having the Page UP/DOWN on Button 1.  I think it will do for now until I flesh out the next gen CP I am thinking about.

That's cool. I don't know if you know about alpha-paging.  Works like page up/down but goes to the next letter.  Works great when you have a huge game list, but it seems like you are comfortable with what you got.

1608 MAME roms... all that show up as 'non-clone' in MAME v123 for me.  Otherwise it would be 6318 roms in all... GADS.

I can page through now, without Alpha being set, in about 8 seconds.  More than fast enough I think for my needs.
