Exiting MAME whilst playing

Hi all,

 

I have a 4 player cabinet with an Ipac system.

 

The problem im having is that when im playing 4 player games, sometimes one of the other players will press a combination of buttons that exits MAME.

 

Is there any way i can stop this happening? Can i make just ONE combination of keys exit HS?

 

Thanks all.

Exits mame or exits HS?

You can turn off the shutting down of HS in hyperhq so it will never turn off. If it's just mame, then try making it so you have to hold the buttons down for 3 seconds to activate the exit.

Hi Spawk, thanks for the reponse on Christmas Day - ive got a party tomorrow and so im trying to set up my cab for that :)

 

It seems to be the same key that exits a game when playing it in MAME as well as exits HS.

 

Can you set the keys in MAME to be pressed down for certain No of seconds to exit? That would help solve the issue if so!

 

Cheers,

Foz.

Not that I know of.

It's the ESC key that exits both MAME and HS by default.

Are you using Alt, F4 or ESC keys as normal button keys or something? Once you figure out what the button problem is you can simply re-program your iPac.

Or maybe you set up your EXIT keys differentlt in HS and RocketLauncher and you just need to change it there?

Yes you can. In RL under "GLOBAL--SETTINGS--MAIN SETTINGS" is where the exit key is set up. It is set to the "esc" key already. If you click to change it you will notice that you can make it a single click, double click, triple or more click!... or hold. You can also specify time between presses or how long you have to hold the button down.

I forgot to mention that this will be used for exiting all emulators... if you wish to change just how you exit Mame, then go to "MAME--SETTINGS--MAIN SETTINGS" instead.
