Title: Nintendo64 emulator in cabinet
Post by: wpcmame on January 06, 2006, 05:47:42 am

Are there any N64 emulators that work well in a cabinet?

Tried project64 which works fine but system buttons can't be changed. The only way to exit is alt-f4.

Do a search.  Also, find JCrouse's website.  May the force be with you.

You need to use a Wrapper with project64.

Or use AtomicFE as Front End,  there is an option to allow to exit all application using escape (even if you can not in standard).

Hey youki,  I was wondering... since you can catch the ESC keypress when an emulator has focus, can you also configure your FE to catch save/load keypresses?

It would be amazing if I could configure AtomicFE to use 's' for save and 'l' for load (for example), and then configure AtomicFE with which buttons each of my emulators use for save/load.  Then, AtomicFE could "translate" the AtomicFE "save" or "load" keybinding into the one used by the current emulator.

That would be sweet.

There's a modified version of Project64 you can download from Screenshot Archive (http://www.screenshotarchive.com/downloads_emus.htm) that esc exits

Yeah, I know.  The problem is that some of the emulators I use can't have their save/load keys remapped.

It is doable, but i would need to do something specific for each emulators. And i want to let Atomic the more generic possible.  In addition some wrapper already allow to do what you want i think.
I don't say i won't do that in the future, but for now it is not my priority.

It could still be generic.  A configuration for each "registered" emulator or whatever could specify what the key bindings are for it.

But, it's just a suggestion, so, thanks for listening.
