Mame losing focus during gameplay, Hyperspin menu shows.

[feltz]

Title somewhat explains it. Everything is working fine, but I have not been able to figure out why I intermittently lose focus on my game.

What happens is during a game of button mashing, the Hyperspin menu appears as if ALT-TAB was pressed.

I can get back to Mame by hitting alt-tab, but I cannot figure out how its appearing in the first place.

My cab is setup on Windows 7-64, with a IPAC-4 all being mapped to letter keys, ie: no ALT or CTRL or SPACE.

Any suggestions?

Have a look over HLHQ, are you using any keys or is it possible a key combo might match a combination in HLHQ?

We've recently found out that any control fields which are left blank in HLHQ, will be set to default.

Another member had issue's with Taito type x games and alt tab I think.

Ah thanks, I think it was the "ToggleCursorKey" that was doing it!

Did you set your exit emulator key here?

And this Restore Frontend and click.

Did you guys actually fix this? I set up a capcom wheel last night using mame, and everything was swell until I started testing. The games will launch, and then just a few seconds later mame minimizes itself, no button press necessary. I haven't tested to see if its just for the capcom roms or not, but if you guys figured it out, any info would be great. I also noticed that theres a command line box (whatever you call that) running at the same time when the emu launches. I was running hyperspin windowed so it may just be a resolution thing.

I just want to add here that in my situation the letter "q" was being used by the keyboard encoder and probably gave hyperspin issues. Make sure you don't use that letter! It doesn't play well...
