BBBrennaNNN Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 my arcade cabinet (hardware part) has 2x6 player buttons, and player1 start button, player2 start button and a "coin" button. currently my hyperspin setup is more or less done with mame and a few other consoles. since hyperspin functions on mainly a esc/enter and most emulators need the esc/enter button, is there anyway i can get by without adding additional buttons on the hardware side. heres what i have tried. i've tried making p1 start & coin button to become esc. in mame/hyperHQ i can use it as per norm but am unsure how to do so in retroarch/pcsx2. when i try holding down coin button to function as "esc", it works decently but i cant get out of the mame game after entering it. also the joytokey program seems to auto shutdown without any reason. so im wondering which is the easiest way for a newbie hyperspin user which doesnt need to add more buttons on my hardware. please help and sorry for the essay
fablog Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 What hardware do you use to connect your buttons (Ipac...)?
wilson79 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 I'm new to this site and i'm sure there,s an answer already written about this.. I have finally completed my arcade machine. now trying to set up the joysticks and buttons. Im useing a Xin-Mo Dual arcade modual via USB to hook up everything (not really Important).. Iv been trying to get joytokey to work but have nothing but problems with it always reset after an exit or a restart. (buttons wont stay, like there's config files colliding or something) Iv downloaded the hyperspin startup script but dont really understand it just looking for some answers or suggestions

As long as RL is running (aka you launched an emulator through HS) Open RLUI select the Global System Click on General Settings Tab Click on Controller sub Tab look for the Emulators section find the Exit emulator key options click on the re map buttons add your Coin+P1 condition

BBBrennaNNN Posted October 5, 2016 Author Posted October 5, 2016 as per your instructions this is what i see. so i just change the "~q & ~s" to "~5 & ~1" since i use 5 and 1 for coin and p1 start.
BBBrennaNNN Posted October 5, 2016 Author Posted October 5, 2016 yeah i think i found it! edit : ok so its fine to exit mame like this. however in other emulators (NES/SNES 1 of this), P1 start = pause so im unable to exit it since it pauses before i can exit. also for PCSX2 (Playstation2), P1 start and Coin/Select seems like it reboots the game. do i go to all my emulators and change the settings there? i've tried holding to escape but it doesnt seem to work for me. not sure if its my keyboard settings or what though. like when i hold down "5" it types 5555555 automatically. it doesnt act like its holding down rather it acts like its pressing multiple times.
BBBrennaNNN Posted October 5, 2016 Author Posted October 5, 2016 ok more or less i've figured things out! thanks guys
BBBrennaNNN Posted October 5, 2016 Author Posted October 5, 2016 ok new problem lol. it works for all emulators except the playstation 2 emulator/pcsx2. im using the hold function whereby when i hold "coin button" for 2 seconds it esc the emulator. however for pcsx2 it doesnt seem to work. any help is appreciated i dont have that many setups in my system. namely mame, a few nintendo consoles, a few sega consoles and playstation2.
BBBrennaNNN Posted October 5, 2016 Author Posted October 5, 2016 it seems to me the only way to leave pcsx2 to go back to hyperspin wheel is by esc. any other methods dont seem to work. anyone has got other methods working please help~
Dabil Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Setting an emulator exit key in rlui as described above worked fine for me. I set it to be back + start on my xbox 360 controller. Only thing is you can't turn off the ui in pcsx2 or else it won't work. So make sure in rlui that you aren't turning off pcsx2's ui. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk exactly where do i do that? in my RLUI i set the keys to exit emulator under the global tab while the rest of my emulators (including pcsx2) exit using global settings.
JoyStickKilla Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Sounds like you aren't actually setting up your emulators beforehand. You gotta do that, can't just skip it
BBBrennaNNN Posted October 6, 2016 Author Posted October 6, 2016 im setting up all my emulator keys to follow mame currently. the only real problem i have now is exiting out of pcsx2/playstation 2. the only way i seem to be able to exit is by the "esc" key. for the rest of my emulators i can esc using "player 1 start & player 2 start" aka keyboard buttons "1 and 2" getting no real progress on this at the moment. all my emulators can run smoothly through hyperspin if i just use the default "esc" button. but my arcade cabinet (hardware) has no addition button to function as an esc button. (2 player 6 button with 1 coin button and 2 start buttons)
kylecp1979 Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 If you use 2 buttons to exit out of your emulator in RL It helps to hold one of the keys down then press the other one. For some reason it doesn't always register the 2 buttons at the same time.
BBBrennaNNN Posted October 6, 2016 Author Posted October 6, 2016 still same problems. works for everything but pcsx2. tried a few different 2 button combinations but makes no difference. have not even tried it on the cabinet but just trying it out on my keyboard.
kylecp1979 Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 On RL are your exit controls set to global for ps2??? Go to sony playstation 2>settings tab>controls>exit emulator key make sure it's set to use_global
