Ipac keystrokes?

(1/2) > >>

rab236:
I have an ipac VE. is there any way to program it to represent a keystroke? i'm using MacMAME and escape doesn't quit the game. I need to press "command (apple) -q" to quit back into my frontend, EmuLaunch. is there a way to program my ipac board as a keystroke instead of a single key?

AndyWarne:
Yes, thats a macro, you can program macros using the WinIPAC program.

thanks. i realised that a short while after making my post. I'm on a mac and it's also available in the mac utility. the only problem is it quit any application that was open when I pressed used it. i wrote my own short application that quit MacMAME when opened, and quicksilver triggers to open the application. I changed the shift key from escape to F1 and everything works well. this was a roundabout way of doing this, but it makes sure my frontend doesn't quit also if the player 1 and 2 start buttons are mashed while still in the frontend.

Ya. I love MacMame but the control +q to cancel UI is a big killer for doing a nice multi-mame setup. My macs only run dedicated mames that don't change game types. Boatanchor PC's rule when it comes to building/maming old arcade games!
