Title: MA + WinKawaks Problems
Post by: SephYuyX on August 20, 2010, 08:10:32 pm

Alright so, most everything else is going fine, but WinKawaks is giving me a headache.

I have my control panel setup so that two of my normal buttons are also the mouse buttons, and in any other emulator this is fine since they ignore mouse presses. But when using WinKawaks the right mouse pauses the game, and the left click just minimizes it for some reason. And when running via MA it actually crashes my PC when I press either button. The disable right button in MA didnt solve the issue either.

Is there anything I can do via MA, or change in WinKawaks to ignore mouse actions? I looked all over WinKawaks and didnt see any options.

Thanks.

What game are you trying to run in Kawaks?  The reason I ask is because Kawaks only lets you set the button mappings after you've loaded a game.  I'll give it a shot once you tell me what game you are trying.

Also, what version are you running of Kawaks?  1.62?

Yeah.

I set it up playing Metal Slug 5, and then set it as the default. But using MS as the example.
I set A, B, C to SW1, SW2, and SW3, and those are still the IPac defaults, but SW1, and SW2 are also wired up to a SpinTrak to act as mouse buttons.
This set up so far has worked with my other 15+ emulators just fine, but WinKawaks by itself, and also in MA have issues. Out of MA the left mouse button doesnt harm the game, but the right button pauses the game. In MA both buttons cause WK to minimize (right click makes it pause and minimize) and I have to alttab back.

There you have it.  You have two different switches wired to the same button.  That's not recommended, since it can cause a short and other wonkiness.  On my panel, I have two separate buttons for my 2 mouse buttons for just that reason.  Not a good idea.

Yeah, but it seems to be fine everywhere else.
Do you have a recommendation on another Neo-Geo emulator?
Thanks.

Come to think of it.. arent neo geo games only 4 button games?
Ive an 8 button cab lol.. I can just move which buttons I use.

Is this correct? I dont remember any neogeo games using more than four? But for some reason I kind of recall there being some there were 5, 6 or 7?
